Watch Darwin’s Darkest Hour Movie Online.
Movie Title: Darwin’s Darkest Hour Darwin’s Darkest Hour is available for streaming or downloading. |
The British do historical movies so well and having seen this on PBS I am so looking forward to the DVD come November. For anyone not familiar with the facts of Charles Darwin’s life and his wife Emma who while a devout Christian was his biggest fan and supporter even when he was attacked by religious zealots after his books were published.

The movie also shows his many children being loved, encouraged and mourned when some of them die and when two children are struck down with deadly diseases, such as small pox and diphtheria which were common. And what I so loved and wonder if many people who like or dislike the man, know what an ethical man he was.
Like when a young self made explorer (Alfred Wallace) seems to ‘borrow’ from some of the writings of Darwin, placing Darwin in an difficult position because he doesn’t feel at ease tooting his own horn. Its nice that the movie disperses modern film segments to show various animals that Darwin encountered in his travels which led to some of his works like Origins of the Species. And the movie is so timely because it shows how in the 1820’s and 1830’s his father may have been a free thinker but the Unitarian church was seen as the church where Christians who had given up on Christianity went. And the movie notes Darwin felt that one could believe in a God and still believe in evolution.

The movie also shows the concern he had about his wife Emma being his first cousin, because he wondered aloud if the reason some of their children had died so young was because of genetic issues. Fact is tuberculosis, small pox and other diseases were the norm at the time. It was the death of his daughter Anne Elizabeth at the age of ten that effected him the deepest because she loved his work and had great conversations with her father. In a way it reminded me of how the father of the Walton’s television series also avoided church. After her death he preferred taking walks and appreciating the creation around him. And he seemed to get brushed off with nonsensical answers to serious religious questions when he asked them.
This being the 200th anniversary of his birth I think this is a wonderful movie to own and watch, and to expose children to.
Old fashioned tv movie sticks to the facts & manages to compel both the heart & the mind. Yes, this actor does not physically resemble Charles Darwin in any way. And yes, Emma is used to stand in for the viewer unfamiliar with Darwin’s life & work. Small quibbles. This is a really excellent little drama. I will watch it many times.
