If there is really only one film "Charlie" that won the actor Cliff Robertson the 41st Oscar winner, then all the editors who edited the story of the film on the film and television websites did not watch it. I've seen this movie, although it doesn't mean it's not a good movie, but it still can't change. I was guided by the wrong introduction. In the introduction, this is a scientific conspiracy theory. Scientists who master technology decide whether a person should be a mentally retarded or a genius. In the actual movie, it is the sequelae of an unsuccessful operation that causes the mentally retarded to become a genius again. Back to the mentally retarded. The former focuses on the ownership of human rights, while the latter focuses on self-defense.
Charlie, an older young man, is an incompetent boy. He makes a living by doing cleaning in the bakery. He has been studying evening school independently for several years in order to communicate. Although his grades are not good, he moved his female teacher. A female teacher introduced him to a scientific research institute. A couple of scientists happened to be doing scientific research projects to improve the brain’s intelligence. In addition to the most successful operation on a mouse named "Algernon", it was the first human experiment. The product is Charlie. However, Charlie, whose intelligence is advancing by leaps and bounds day by day, is no longer as happy as when he was mentally retarded. This familiar and unfamiliar world is full of unknown unknowns and worries that make him fascinated. It was not until he fell in love, thinking that life would be different from now on, that Charlie discovered that the operation was flawed...
When Charlie was mentally retarded, he didn’t know he was fooled all day long, he didn’t know that his friends were rascals, he didn’t know how barren his spiritual life was, he didn’t know the wonder of love, and he didn’t know the diversity of the future. I am very happy, as an adult who looks and feels children, as long as there are swings and a group of friends who like to talk to themselves, it is a good day.
When he was a genius Charlie, he learned more subjects and knowledge. He experienced the beauty and sexual stimulation of love. He could master the speed of locomotives and act as a gentleman. He learned to protect himself and appreciate others. With a unique aesthetic point of view and philosophical concept, he understands the taste of sorrow better. As a genius with a mind that is far mature in modern society, he has seen the despicableness and superficiality of mankind, as well as the triumphant but proud technology. .
It is also a character who looks at human civilization from a different kind. Except for Charlie, the whole film is normal people we know well: ordinary people who like to mock and tease inferior children, scientists who regard reputation as more important than anything else, mean female landlords, and it doesn’t matter just focusing on the results. Observers of the experiment, etc. Whether it's a retarded Charlie or a genius Charlie, this world has long been deformed. It can't tolerate the alien but it can tolerate ignorance, it can't tolerate the weak but the hypocrite, it can't tolerate backwardness but arrogance. So although the result of this failed experiment was only that the experimental product turned back to low energy again, the white mouse "Algernon" died. Originally, I thought it might be Charlie's ending: fear turned back to loneliness again. Mentally retarded to resist this monster world, fear can't tell right from wrong again, knowing black and white, good and evil, fear has become a target for dissatisfaction in this world, fearing that my brain will be as empty as my previous home. However, after a painful mental struggle, Charlie chose to endure all this in silence, and once again became a happy mentally retarded.
There is nostalgia in death, and to live means to see through.
The most beautiful photography in the whole film. After Charlie and the female teacher fell in love, the coolness and comfort of Qiuyi seemed to stretch every pixel and bones. The Fengzhou that flows down the river has incomplete regretful beauty and an arrogant and firm posture. The clips that show Charlie’s mental fluctuations are more technically characteristic. Overprinted images and cross-montages reflect people’s inner anxiety with diametrically opposite attitudes to life. I also want to thank Cliff for his performance, and I have to return from a genius. He went very well through the painful process of mentally retarded.
Charlie’s first question after being smart was, “People will never laugh at a blind or lame, but at a mentally retarded person.” I want to give him a dark explanation, because a weak person only dares to laugh, an inferior person is not. If you are not healthy, you will be beaten if you are anxious.
