i have read review of this film that find it wouldisappointing and confused . i be at a loss to understand why this should be so . from the beginning i find it a remarkable experience and a complete joy to watch . spoiler represent the opening title overlay a beautiful visual of the evolutionary process and and this introduce the story with a serene and sweeping style . the film isn not about the process itself though and it concern charles darwin struggle with his conscience and his love for his wife and his deceased daughter and his search for truth . the appearance of his daughter be the manifestation of a tormented mind that know it have kill god . the daughter be an adult and make adult comment about his work and torture darwin with personal doubt . be he in some way responsible for her death . husband and wife in real life paul bettany and jennifer connelly give truly wonderful performance a charles and emma darwin and a do martha west a annie . bettany size and awkward gait give darwin character a genuine sense of reality and whilst connelly seem very comfortable with her english accent and occasionally somewhat severe persona . it easy to misunderstand the time in which this film reside . the grip that religion have on society and the inner struggle that a man like darwin must have endure to seek the truth in what he witness . science and religion have always be awkward bedfellow and although it do not cost him his life and a it do with so many early men and woman and science put a barrier between husband and wife and fact and faith . this film portray that barrier supremely well . i give creation ten star and because i think it beautiful and profound and superbly well act and a genuine and no extraneous frill require look at one of the world true genius . what seem obvious to everyone today ( well and almost everyone . see bill maher wonderful religulous ) be hide for millennium . the truth and once it be discover and be undoubtedly painful for many . creation examine that pain and and the realisation that we be all that we possess . a wonderful cinematic experience .
