"Charlie" is a mid-century movie based on "Flowers for Algernon". This book is a must-read for the eighth grade of junior high school in the United States. It is indeed a very fascinating literary work. I personally think that the adaptation of the movie script did not completely shock and helplessly use the first person in the novel. But I think the film failed compared to the original work because it focused too much on the love affair between charly and Mrs Kinnian, and another thing I still can’t understand is why the screenwriter of the film specially changed Miss Kinnian from the original work to Mrs. Kinnian? Is this to express a more complicated love background? Or is it just trying to confuse the audience? It is not a good thing to complicate a popular movie.
But again, what I admire most about the film is that when Charly found out that he would soon return to his original appearance, he ran out of the venue and found no exit in the labyrinth like Algernon. Troubled by nightmares. The profile reflects his life-confusion, fear of the past.
This is a film with a touch of sadness. The most tearful thing about anything is "once" Charly was once smart, and he once had love. I can't help thinking that such a trip, for Charly, may not only be a so-called satisfaction, but also a kind of injury. When he went to lay flowers on Algernon's grave, he was also paying homage to his own destiny. There was little time left... When
watching the film together, some people said that charly became ordinary again. Is it really ordinary? I don't think anyone is ordinary. Although Charly is a fool, he is also unique. He stood at the crossroads of life, but he was powerless because he couldn't choose.
As the leading actor of this movie, Cliff also won the Oscar winner, and watched it carefully again. Indeed, the actors of that era, without the current special effects, relied on acting for their meals. Therefore, all that can be left are fine products. He showed Charly's innocence and panic and helplessness after the operation... to the fullest.
I feel very honored to be able to appreciate this kind of old film and to appreciate the art of film nearly half a century ago. It is a completely different feeling.
