This is a wonderful story about a man with a low IQ who is turned into a genius and back again. Poignant and true to the original story.
June 18, 2008Excellent movie!!! Very good adaptation from book to movie. Cliff Robertson's role of Charly was convincing and very real. Very moving story. Well done.
June 14, 2008Charly starring Cliff Robertson is a good take on the classic book, Flowers for Algernon. Roberston is flawless as mentally handicapped Charly (he won an Oscar as well). The only problem I have with the movie is the slow moving camera, it feels dated and over-used. Important film so give this film a viewing soon.
April 29, 2008 |  | Not as good as "Flowers for Algernon" (the book) but who cares? |  |
This is a very sad and touching story about a retarted man who becomes a genius through an experimental brain surgery. He is able, for the first time, to see the world as it really is and even finds love. The book is much better than the film but the film is unique in it's 1960's stylized visuals and music. This story is so good, that I a surprised Hollywood hasn't re-made it yet.
March 8, 2008Cliff Robertson showed what he could do in the starring role. A very good movie. Recommended for those who take their acting roles seriously.
