On the other hand, Darwin is one of the few westerners honored in comunist Vietnam.

Just seen 'Creation'

Post by Rum » Fri Jan 22, 2010 9:25 pm

Soz if there is a thread elsewhere, but I d'loaded the film yesterday and watched it this evening.

It isn't really about evolution - more Darwin's family relationships and also faith in god and the dynamic between him and his wife.

All in all brilliant at what it was about. A tear jerker for some too.

Just bought the DVD today and watched it. I iz moralfag!

Disappointed as it was not what I was expecting but an above average film with some good acting and scripting.

Nice to see India did as well back in 1983.
