In 1959, a short story was written called Flowers for Algernon. It was about a mentaly retarded man who is a guinea pig in an operation that triples his I.Q. It was written by Daniel Keyes, who won many awards for his short story. In 1968, that story was made into a movie called Charly. The movie pretty much follows the storyline and is very good until one scene when it dosen't go down a hill, but goes down a cliff. From the scene were he stalks his teacher, and then attacks her, thats when it goes, a long long long way down. And can't get back out. From then on it leaves Daniel Keyes story, and turns into something totally different. So different it scares me. It tearns into a hip movie about free love and easy rider. Only see this movie for Cliff and the Boston locales.
