how to take charles darwin fantastic intellectual journey and turn it into a chick flick . his pivotal and seminal idea and their radical influence on western think and capitalist society be untouched except for two brief scene and in one of which it be claim he be kill god while pure demagoguery to make the movie emotional . and the rest of the movie buckle to that purpose represent it consist entirely of melodramatic and long family scene with overloud music at which one be behold to cry . anyone who actually read origin of specie would be vividly aware that there be no breach with god in any of darwin work while to the contrary and there be an increase awe and respect and and a revolutionary new way of look at thing . a good movie about darwin could be educational and thoughtful and and deeply inspiring and even in a religious sense but that would contradict the soap opera intention of this flick . this be a flick that be design to make people wail in contrived sympathy and then feel transform although unable to understand why while it make fast use of darwin great name only a marketing clout and a one would drop a famous name at a party to create an impression . sad that the set and costume be so good represent production value and except for the writing and be obviously high . see it if you want to weep and for the loss of intelligence in american literature .
