[@thetotalitarianturtle3755]

I actually saw the movie, he knew it wasn't solvable and he used that to try to test her after her mom said she could handle those types of questions. There's a scene in the movie where the professor asks his assistant to write the problem on the board and the assistant says "But it's not correct" and he says "Just write it exactly how I wrote it on the paper." It was a test and he thought the girl failed because she didn't realize it was unsolvable but the 7 year old said she knew it was false but didn't say anything because "Frank said it's rude to correct people." Great movie, definitely worth a watch.

Any one with half decent math background should realize that this is just Gaussian integral and the hint is to use change of variable. When you miss the minus sign the integral clearly diverges. That’s why the professor is disappointed.

Now he's adult who's barely able to manage his time schedule.

A pretty good movie, though it does set rather high expectations for what a gifted child means. They don't have to be university-level at age 7 to be gifted.

[@alorena_02]

Exactly my thoughts. It's like there's no in between allowed. Either you're average or you're basically top 10 of the most intelligent persons alive. The 2% of society with an IQ over 130 and their experiences don't seem to be considered at all.

that “super intelligent girl solves problems” classroom scene has an uncanny resemblance to a similar one in matilda by roald dahl. but similarities aside, i like to think this could’ve been a happier version of matilda if she had grown up with a parental figure like frank or had supportive people around her from the very beginning - but then the book would’ve felt too empty, in a way

[@TheLatiosnlatias02]

matilda vs. that girl who will win?

[@JaybayJay]

McKenna is so adorable, she's gonna have a huge career. I was watching this and my mom reminded me I was just like Marry. She reminded me that I got in trouble in Kindergarten for telling the teacher that she was "Unqualified to be my teacher." I already knew how to read and write before I went to school and could already do complex math when I was 5. And my brothers and I, were just like Marry. We were the only colored kids in our public school, being half black kids would still call us names and we would respond just like Marry did. Needless to say, we were in the office quite a bit at first for fighting with racists.

It was also hard watching this film. My grandfather was a top respected Engineer with the TTC Toronto and I was his favorite out of all the grandkids, but he saw my father as a disappointment. When my parents divorced my father took my mother to court over me. I was only 4 and didn't understand everything until court and the judge asked me how I felt about my father's action to gain custody of me. I was confused, so I asked, "He wants custody of only me?" and they said yes. I replied, "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life," and stormed out of the Court. The judge replied, "That's the smartest thing I've ever heard in this Court Room." And I was only 4.

I’m glad you and your brother stuck up for yourselves, that must’ve been hard. Btw though, we don’t sat coloured anymore.

What a nice movie, thank u for sharing this ❤️

[@saulestacioarbieto3911]

Movie caps, this film 'gifted', made me think about what it could be my professional carreer as a teacher '. Maybe one day, I could face a gifted kid, like this one. The only part of the film, that was nonsense and Not realistic, was the love with the teacher bonnie. Great summary mate.

[@tempbauer2131]

That little girl is an AMAZING actress. Her skills and resume surpass plenty of people that are much older. Obviously, it’s not JUST her, there are writers, directors, and the other actors she works with BUT her manager, family, and her always pick fabulous projects bc everything I’ve seen her in is great!

[@purplestar6947]

I remember watching this movie in elementary, and one of my friends said I was just like mary since I am way , more advanced than the rest of my batch during that time. I wanted to go to a different and better school after that and my teacher always supported me however my bond with my parents is not that great and during that time my parents had to travel a lot which really took a toll on me since I was young. Now during highschool that same "friend" would not even talk to me unless it was forced and would sometimes call me "gifted" but not in the good way

[@user-gj4fu5ev5l]

I hope you have a great circle of friends that are great comrades without being bothered by that "friend"

This looks like a movie that is well worth the watch. I know it is just a movie and therefore a fictional story, but I was almost in tears when he said the part about Fred almost getting euthanized and Frank saving him and two other cats just in time.

I appreciate that they put actual math on the board Thumbnail is the integrals involved in the normalisation constant of the normal distribution

I like genius kids. I wasn't a genius but had very much an above average verbal intelligence and had a chip on my shoulder against authority and being patronized by adults and alienated from other kids. So It makes me feel vindicated.

This is an excellent under the radar film. The scene in the hospital is one of the most moving scenes I have ever seen. Beautifully made and great acting. If you love film you must see it. Just enjoy caring about the characters. for me caring about the characters is what makes me love a film.

Genius kid in gifted, genius psychopath in bad seed, genius kid in young Sheldon, genius witch/wizard in sabrina, Genius actor in real life (I don't really want to say the words actress, waitress, congressman, congresswoman, etc) Ok idk if Sabrina is a genius in magic or in any other aspect but I wanted to play along ...

[@AlyssMa7rin]

@@nicbentulan Why do you have an issue with the words: Actress, Waitress, Congressman, Congresswoman? There's nothing disrespectful about that, not even remotely. Also, Congressman and Congresswoman are just unnecessary in general in the US, as our 'Congress' is divided into Representatives, and Senators.

This hits close to home for me. While I don't have a genius level IQ, I was insanely smart in my younger days and skipped a lot of grades. (For context, after high school I took 3 gap years to explore life, and still graduated college as one of the youngest in my year) Even if this is a movie, I am glad Mary has an uncle like Frank that tried to help her live a normal life.

I love how satisfying that bully scene was, you could just sense how pissed Mary is for him destroying a project for no reason. Best of all, even though she is reprimanded for beating his ass, the school is quite reasonable in the fact that beating someone up isn't exactly a good thing no matter the reason.
