This is not an easy movie. The heroine, Darwin's wife Emma, ​​is played by Jennifer Connelly. She doesn't smile much from beginning to end. The expression in the whole film is basically frowning, which is difficult to stretch even when receiving guests. , especially as Xi Shi was worried about the fate of Yue country all day long. In fact, there was no Bai Ding who came to Darwin's house. Among them were those Hongru who later entered textbooks, such as Huxley and Hooke, the inventor of the microscope. That was on the eve of Darwin's 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species. As an extremely devout Christian, Emma had a hard time accepting the ideas in this book, believing that everything in the world was arranged by God. In the movie, Huxley's words prove that Emma is not unfounded. He said to Darwin, "Sir, you have killed God."

  • [from trailer]

    Emma Darwin: Do you not care that you and I may be separated for all eternity?

  • Reverend John Innes: Charles. Charles, my old friend, there you are. May I join you?

    Charles Darwin: Yes. Yes, of course.

    Reverend John Innes: Mrs. Darwin has told me about the book you're writing.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, no, not anymore, thank goodness.

    Reverend John Innes: You mean you finished it?

    Charles Darwin: It's been finished for me, actually. A Mr. Alfred Russel Wallace has arrived independently at exactly the same opinion. Expressed in a... in a mere twenty pages. Now there's brevity for you. I had covered two-hundred-fifty so far and have come to a dead end, so whilst having wasted twenty years on the project, I have at least rid of it.

    Reverend John Innes: Well... Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

    Charles Darwin: Hmmm, yes, he does, doesn't he? You know, I was remarking only the other day, how he has endowed us in all of his blessed generosity with not one but nine-hundred species of intestinal worm, each with its own unique method of infiltrated the mucosa and burrowing through to the bloodstream. And on the love that he shows for butterflies by inventing a wasp that lays its eggs inside the living flesh of caterpillars.

    Reverend John Innes: I have said on many previous occasions, it is not for us to speculate at His reasons.

    Charles Darwin: Oh, no, we can leave that to Mr. Wallace! Shall I advise him to stay abroad, do you think? With his opinions if he shows his face around here, he may be required to kneel on rock salt!
