Charly (1968)

Charly: Directed by Ralph Nelson. With Cliff Robertson, Claire Bloom, Lilia Skala, Leon Janney. An intellectually disabled man undergoes an experiment that gives him the intelligence of a genius.

“Cliff Robertson acting job for playing Charly Gordon is amazing. It is a must see movie, just for that reason alone. The movie shows what it is like to live in the world of a mentally handicapped person. It shows how our society treats those people. It shows how Charly changes into a well, and very intelligent person. It also shows the friendship Charly has with the mouse. Who is the first to have the brain operation. Which is designed to improve the function of the brain. Also it shows the love Charly develops for this teacher Clair. However in the conclusion. The brain operation which made him a mentally well person, is a failure in the end. Sad ending of the movie. However the movie is considered a classic in my mind. Very well put together, and very well acted. I havenu0026#39;t read the book, this movie is based on.”
