    I understand every word, but in the end I feel like I don't know anything. Is it the film's problem or my problem?...

    Wisdom may be a bouquet of flowers to sacrifice to worry-free. It cannot be eternal, but it is worth it. ps: Compared with the original novel, there is less human...

    7.2, the purpose of the soundtrack is too strong and it seems noisy, and the technique is suspected of being abused. In the process of charly's change, he experienced the happiness of a smart person. Algernon's death indicates that this kind of life does not belong to him after all. Who can say that the joy of seesaw is inferior to the joy of enjoying science, art and love? There are many elements involved, but the theme is not so clear, science fiction theory, the living conditions of disabled...

    Charlie's psychological changes and self-exploration in the original book are all related to his childhood experiences with his parents. It can be said that the entire novel is built on this, but the film completely discards this part of the exploration, and abruptly adapts the exquisite psychoanalysis work into vulgarity. The love story is so disappointing. Actor Charlie's performance is also very general, basically pretending to be crazy and stupid, and Charlie's changes in the original book...

    It's a completely magical transformation, and it uses a lot of unnecessary new wave techniques, but it is completely self-defeating, the relationship between the male and female protagonists is handled unbearably, and the intellectual changes of the protagonists are not...

    How happy was Charlie when he won Algernon, how sad he was waiting to be turned into an idiot. The predecessors said, "Love is not long, wisdom will die." There are four seasons in life. Charlie is unfortunate. His intelligence makes him stay in spring forever, unable to appreciate the harvest of autumn. But he is lucky, he has the opportunity to experience the four seasons of life in a very short time, although it is short-lived. The film moved me because its portrayal of marginal characters...

    true love is let it go

    True love is letting go. After watching this film, I became stupid too, I was not high originally.
    Charlie, from a mentally retarded, to a genius, and finally turned into a story about mentally retarded. Before he was about to become mentally retarded again, his lingering shadow of the past loomed...

    [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]
