The actress who plays the title role is very thin (even before her character falls ill), with blonde hair, perfectly oversized white teeth, and big eyes that dominate her face. The movie is misogynist in many ways, but then it only reflects Mormon culture, so it would be. SUGGESTION: An edit in the OP might be in order, making clear that it is the 2002 film which is being discussed (rather than the totally unrelated, 1968 film which was, initially, a GOOD novel about a man who is born mentally retarded but, through medical intervention, achieves a genius-level IQ as an adult).Įdited 3 time(s). The plot of "Charly" (the 1968 original) has NOTHING to do with the plot of the 2002 film (which is clearly the one that RPackham is talking about).
I have, and have read (at least a couple of times) the novel (Flowers for Algernon).and "Charly" (the original 1968 film, starring Cliff Robertson-who won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for this film)-is one of films that had a very big effect on me in many different ways. Yes!!! I was so confused by the OP (and then had to leave for unanticipated chauffeuring).
> "Charly"- from the late 60s, with Cliff Robertson. > Shoot, I was thinkin of a totally different Probably with a wedding for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake temple.īased (I learned too late!) on a novel with the same title that was "popular with Mormon teenagers" according to the IMDB: Then, at one point she confesses: "I believe it!" But she starts going to church with him, she stops drinking coffee, she takes the discussions. She resists, saying it's all just a fairy tale. She goes to Salt Lake to visit her non-Mormon parents, and gets thrown together with a young Mormon. It turned out that it took place in Salt Lake City.Ĭharly is a pretty young woman artist living in New York. I picked up one that looked like a cute romantic comedy called "Charly," produced in 2002. Anything that looks interesting, I buy it.
We buy them for a dollar at local thrift stores. My wife and I rarely watch television, but we watch a lot of old movies, mostly on VHS.
