Charly (1968)
Based on Daniel Keyes' "Flowers for Algernon", this film stars Cliff Robertson as the titular character.
There's some padding in this film that deserves to be Riffed. Examples include:
- Charlie getting angry over Algernon (The lab mouse) being dropped off at his home without his permission
- His quick grow in intelligence and how ignorant the scientists are at the clear warning signs
- Charlie's attempt in Sexually Assaulting his teacher Alice Kinnian (WTF?! That wasn't in the Short Story! Why is this in the film???!!!)
and last but not least... the Motorcycle scene. You got to see it to believe it.
Warning though. If anybody read the book... then know that the ending is a Forgone Conclusion.
