Now, we’ve got a solution to those mentally disordered. They could undergo a brain surgery, which aim at removing their badly developed brain cells, and at the same time they will be applied medications to advance their brain activities in order to reach beyond normal intelligence. Charlie IQ 68 is chosen to participant in this experimental surgery. Unfortunately, everything has its downside.
Human life is fragile. Our thoughts are vulnerable. Inevitably, at times we are overwhelmed with some of the seven deadly sins – wrath, greed, and pride. We pray so hard to vend off those demons. Nevertheless, not all of us can survive.
Pride, dignity comes together with knowledge. Happiness comes from innocence. We always acknowledge the less we know the more carefree we are. At first, when Charlie doesn’t understand what is happening to him, he is such an adorable big boy. Once he learns what those words are truly meant, anxiety fills up his mind. I am not implying we should put the blame on him. Those mischievous bullies should be the alternatives. Expectation from his mother should also be counted as a one of the factors. Charlie could have been immune if the alteration had never been made.
Greed spells trouble. Desire sometimes finds it’s way to mishaps. When we are overpowered by this state of mind we might not be able think straight. We never know when is enough, when to stop or even when to let go. From the outside Charlie might simply wants to be more intelligent. However, his sub-consciousness wants his family back. And once he gets control of this massive intelligences family is not his only option. Still the eager of family drives him to this tragedy. Being left behind is the least Charlie wants, when his mother chooses his sister over him, there is never a way back. Never ever going to be the same again.
Wrath is the source of uneventful encounters. One of the reasons why his mother opted for this sister over him is because of his sister’s selfishness. She loathes her brother taking all the attention from her. Adding together with the teasing at school and the state of neglect by her parents then with a few tricks strengthen the determination of his mother to send her brother away.
Being a child is the most wonderful thing in the world. When we grow up we tend to be loaded with tons of responsibilities and lots to worry. So in some point I wish to be Charlie. Being innocent for most of his life. Today’s kids tend to lose this accent of being a child way too early. Again they should not be taken a full responsibility, the society is pushing our children to grow up faster by the overloaded information. Watching his drama makes me envy those kids who still have this in their hands.
Watching this drama is definitely a breathtaking and heartbreaking experience. A thumb up to the director, actors and the crew, especially the set designer this absolutely topped any settings I have ever seen in my life. Love the way they show the audience how the set is assembled. Bit by bit, start from stretch. At the same time it resembles the Charlie after the surgery, his intelligence is growing like the speed how the stage develops. The different layers of the set and how actors jump through them enrich the coherence of the story.
The cast is also impressive. First it’s Tony Wong, can’t believe how diverse and talented he is. He delivers precisely. His believable acting skills nearly drive me to shed my tears. Credit should also be given to the script, well written and brilliantly translated.
This is a thought-evoking piece. It is your lost missing it.
