Creation (2009)
Creation is a powerful and true tale of Charles Darwin and his epochal 1859 work “On the Origin of Species”. However, the film also deals with Darwin’s personal agony after the loss of his eldest daughter who died of scarlet fever at the age of 10. When Annie gets seriously ill, he takes her to “hydro-therapy”, a somewhat unusual method which he also uses to cure his chronic illness. His wife Emma is against this kind of treatment and this is the reason Darwin blames himself for Annie’s death afterwards. During his struggle to accept his beloved daughter’s death, Darwin is torn between the love for his religious wife and his new idea of the creation of the world, which has nothing to do with God. In some ways his wife Emma becomes his fiercest opponent after Darwin’s obvious loss of faith in God. Creation is a great story of a marriage torn apart by the most provocative idea in the history of mankind – evolution.
