Curiosidades
Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, who portray Charles Darwin and his wife Emma, are married in real life.

Pifias
The epilogue states "He was buried with full Christian honours, in Westminister Abbey." This should read "Westminster Abbey."

Citas
Thomas Huxley: Mr Darwin, sir? Either you are being disingenuous or you do not fully understand your own theory. Evidently, what is true of the barnacle is true of all creatures, even humans. The Almighty can no longer claim to have authored every species in under a week. You've killed God, sir! You've killed God!

Créditos adicionales
The title appears against a background imitative of Michaelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel, with Adam replaced by the title. This is also simulated in the cover art, with Adam replaced by a chimpanzee.

Beautifully acted, but both leading and misleading

Paul Bettany did a great role as the tortured father whose favorite little girl dies tragically of disease. For that, he deserves all the credit. However, the movie was mostly about exactly that, keeping the adventures of Darwin as he gathered data for his theories as incomplete stories told to children and skipping completely the disputes regarding his ideas.

Two things bothered me terribly: the soundtrack, with its whiny sound, practically shoving sadness down the throat of the viewer, and the movie trailer, showing some beautiful sceneries, the theological musings of him and his wife and the enthusiasm of his best friends as they prepare for a battle against blind faith, thus misrepresenting the movie completely.

To put it bluntly, if one were to remove the scenes of the movie trailer from the movie, the result would be a non descript family drama about a little child dying and the hardships of her parents as a result. Clearly, not what I expected from a movie about Darwin, albeit the movie was beautifully interpreted.
