Many works of art that deal with the idea of highly talented people, who possess faculties and gifts that distinguish them from others and put them in the ranks of geniuses, and campaign torches of creativity throughout history. Torch for future generations and a bright tomorrow. But is the future of humanity really more important than the future of its present? Could the development of that talent be the cause of the destruction of one individual for the sake of millions? Is this unequal risk really worth the actions that we cloak in a need to invent and not waste enormous energies? That's the idea for this movie, which won a total of 5 awards out of 6 nominations for them.
the story
The story tells of a young and extremely talented girl "Mary Adler" (Mckenna Grace) who lives with her uncle Frank Adler (Chris Evans) after her mother's death. Mary's mother was a genius in mathematics and came close to solving one of the biggest problems in the history of mathematics, but she died before she could complete it, and accordingly her daughter took her brother to live with him, and this is to keep her away from her grandmother who nurtured her mother and broadcast in her the dream of solving that dilemma.
That dream that gradually consumed her life and made her empty and depressed her until her death. Her uncle wanted her to make her a normal girl, and to live a life free of the complications that the grandmother wants to instill in her in all ways, but the situation now has become fluctuating between the grandmother and her son, she wants her granddaughter to be a scientist and complete what her mother failed in, and he wants her to deal socially with the world Don't be like her late mother in the end. Those, disputes will certainly only result in psychological disturbances that will gradually eat Mary, and this is the focus of the story.
impression of the story
What is distinctive about this story is that the writer made the focus of events a young girl with exceptional talent, but despite being many years ahead of her age, in the end she is a young girl who wants to play and form relationships, although she does not show that. That is the conflict that arose within her as a result of the contradictions of the characters around her, highlighted by the script writer in a hidden and hidden way over the course of the events, but at the end of the film he presented it as a resounding cry in the sky.
I also liked the character of Uncle Frank Adler for being consistent throughout the events. Marie's future is more important than the pressures of the grandmother and people's bullying. Throughout the film, he desperately tried to get away from her and acted as a mediator between her and her talent, sometimes satisfying her athletic talent, and sometimes she satisfies her as a girl who wants her to live her life like all other human beings. So, it was the steadfast attitude that Granny finally acquiesced to his wish. However, his view was proven correct in the ending scene.
Where in the end scene, Frank came out to the grandmother to solve the mathematical dilemma that she thought her daughter had died and had not finished with it yet, especially since she stipulated that the solution appear to the light after the grandmother dies, and this established that her mother had a nightmare for her and she was the one who suppressed the girl lurking in it, and she gradually destroyed her .
personal opinion
The movie Gifted will make you think about your life from a different perspective, and if you think that talent development will have a positive impact on your child or those you care about, you should think differently this time.
