Faces of several characters

When I watched biographical movies in the past, I rarely thought about whether actors and actual historical figures looked alike. But in "Creation", Paul Bettany's temperament is undoubtedly very similar to that of the young Darwin in the famous watercolor painting. It is a pale, weak but stubborn face, full and shiny forehead, and fine golden sideburns. , His eyes are persistent, but his eyes are not aggressive. In the movie, in the role of Darwin's eldest daughter Annie, the actor and the real person also have a very smart connection. Of course, the little girl in the photo has a serious expression. That era had a sense of seriousness that is incomprehensible today. In contrast, Jennifer Connelly's appearance is not very similar to Emma in the portrait, but her temperament, that charming, strong, stable and wise image, is enough to make people feel that she is the one who finally made the right decision and is brave. Emma sacrificed.

In fact, if you continue to pay attention to the other two heroic characters in the movie, you will find that the film has such a respectable and serious attitude in the way of recreating history. Joseph Dalton Hooker and Thomas Henry Huxley, the two people who urged Darwin to write the book shortly after the beginning of the movie, the actors and the real people also have a little charm in common. This kind of similar appearance of descendants and predecessors is naturally not an important thing, even if they are not, this episode is just as attractive. Both Hooker and Huxley are important figures in the biology/natural science world, especially Huxley, whose achievements and fame can be said to be on par with Darwin. A hurried visit, a few words, aggressive questioning, helpless hesitation, and peaceful country trails have participated in the cosmic process that affects history in this way. How amazing is this happening!
