    After reading the novel to supplement the movie, the level of adaptation is very general. Maybe it's a relationship in the 1960s, and some highway hippie passages are forced in the middle, which is very strange. But the clothes of the 1960s make the heroine very beautiful. I feel that Algernon has become a decoration and has no effect, which is sad....

    Because the Wandering Earth has brought attention to science fiction films recently, I turned Charly out and watched it. It's a little regrettable that Charlie's feelings for Alice in the film are more like a child's physical emotional connection to opposite-sex parents, and the details are not revealed; reading the novel is much more shocking and has a profound humanistic concern. However, in terms of acting, the Oscar statuette is...

    true love is let it go

    True love is letting go. After watching this film, I became stupid too, I was not high originally.

    [Film Review] Charly (1968) 6.3/10

    "If the plural of mouse is mice, the plural of spouse must be spice." a wisecrack from our protagonist Charly Gordon (Robertson), trying to convince viewers that it is something a genius would jest with his girlfriend, both sun-drenched, lying on a cozy meadow. But this is not the Charly we know in...

Charly quotes

  • Dr. Anna Strauss: [after witnessing Charly painting nude women, furiously at Richard] What are you trying to turn him into, some kind of a sideshow freak?

    Dr. Richard Nemur: Now, Anna, don't be ridiculous.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: You're pushing your program for his intellectual development much too rapidly. It has to keep pace with my program for his emotional development, or the imbalance will become dangerous! I thought we were to be satisfied with a minor miracle...

    Dr. Richard Nemur: What are you afraid of?

    Dr. Anna Strauss: ...to help a retarded human being become a more productive member of society.

    Dr. Richard Nemur: He has shown no indication of any mental ceiling. So why are you afraid to reach for whatever that ceiling may be? In any event, we shall have to give Mrs. Kinnian her notice.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: What?

    Dr. Richard Nemur: All she can do now is ask him questions out of books that he's already absorbed. What he needs at this point is a giant step forward - new conceptualization, inductive thinking. And that calls for experts, not Alice Kinnian.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: I will say it once more, Richard: Charly Gordon is still a child emotionally.

    Dr. Richard Nemur: I don't agree.

    Alice Kinnian: Marry me?

    [Charly goes silent by refusing]

    Alice Kinnian: [sits down] All right, don't marry me.

    Charly Gordon: [smiles] Motion carried.

    Alice Kinnian: But I'm going to stay right here. Whenever you feel like telling me to go, just let me know - just tell me so. I'll go, I'll leave.

    Charly Gordon: Leave.

    [Alice goes stunned]

    Charly Gordon: Please, leave.

    Alice Kinnian: [solemnly] All right...

    [Alice hesitates then slowly heads to the door]

    Alice Kinnian: Good night.

    Charly Gordon: [without looking at her] Good night.

    [Alice leaves]
