My experience with a true genius was a taxi driver that took a chemistry class to understand his hobby of photography better. By the end of a couple of weeks his understanding of chemistry had our professors giddy. They threw math, physics, everything at him. Helped him get the scholarships he needed. He still drove a taxi to support his family but he devoured knowledge the way teenagers eat potato chips. Never changed his attitude towards people. One of the nicest guys I ever met. I’ve thought of him every time I’ve met an arrogant snob, because they never had a third the brains that he has.
I only recently found out that some subjects (math) are like learning another language. Until you learn what it all means, it's just numbers and symbols on the board.
I mean its rare to have a child actor who can confidently carry dialogue with "big words". They CAN hold an audition and find another talented child actor, but why do that when the industry has a handful who already have marketing clout to their name.
I sat next to a genius in my engineering class. He slept through most of the class and wake up every so often to review the equations to point out mistakes made by our professor.

Geniuses can’t hide very well. They might underperform in subjects that don’t interest them, but in the areas that attract them, their extreme abilities set off rockets.
Frank did not want her to end up like the kid's mother, his sister, who committed suicide at a young age due to clinical depression and burnout. Frank was also a math genius, but quitted his university math teaching job due to clinical depression and burnout. The grandmother is like many Asian parents since she seem only to care about the child because she is a genius. Like them, she did not really care if they have a normal childhood or can actually function in the real world or have social skills. Ironically, the same thing Georgies\ said how their mother sheltered and was overprotective of Sheldon since he was a child genius.
@@TYohMy It has nothing to do with appearances. Bermanmo6237 is comparing the grandmother's behavior to a common trend with East Asian families where parents often put immense pressure on children to be successful at any cost, even to the point of neglecting them emotionally.
@@BionicDirector117 What you are saying and what he is saying are two different things. He said that the grandmother only cares about her because she is a genius like all Asians. You are saying that East Asian families put immense pressure on children to the point of neglecting them emotionally. What I am saying is that only failures who can't cut it as Asians think like that. It's how you weed out the bad seeds.
@@bermanmo6237yep. If people aren’t allowed to live a normal life then it can really take a toll on them. And in some situations, gifted people like her might be taken away since they are so smart. I remember that AWOG episode where Darwin was taken away for getting 100 percent on the amplitude test but it was Anais’ paper and thought that she should be the one who should be taken away. It’s not fair to children if they have to be taken away.
Sounds like me and my daughter. In my daughters case though her identity was stolen when she was going to do the test here it’s like in England you have to do like the equivalent of A-levels, etc., and somebody had stolen her identity by the time it was cleared it took almost a year. She was no longer interested in going to schoolor in the graduation/educational process.
@@suzabella8516 Why would you not? All it does is give you more credibility and makes people more likely to hire and believe you. Nothing you couldn't do alone, but it makes it much easier if you have the skill to back it up.
Two renowned economists, including a Harvard professor, got a few things wrong when they released a paper on government debt management, effectively austerity vs. increased spending, saying that austerity was better. Their errors completely changed the outcome of the paper, with increased spending being better for the economy. The errors were found by a student and one of his professors. Even though they apologised for their mistakes, they still stood by their argument, even though the data proved them wrong and they couldn't back up their stance. Confirmation bias much?
@@amandaparenteau9288 still not how it works, real life savants still take a lot more time, effort and experience to do these things. The difference between them and a normal person is huge, a normal professor may take years but they would take months. That doesn't seem flashy so they don't show it like that on movies.
At most, their extremely talented, able to learn far easier or quicker than normal people, not to say are geniuses immediately. Like the previous comment, it takes time, just not as slow.
I sat ahead of a kid in high school chemistry, physics, and math classes. He had a true photographic memory. He could quote from the textbook the page and paragraphs. He could recreate days from months ago. He ended up going to MIT and became a big engineer. These people are amazing. We need more of them!
I dated a guy in college that had a photographic memory. Once, he took a test and the professor failed him for cheating because he was sure "John" had somehow used the book during the test because the answers were almost word for word from the book. "John" asked for another chance to prove he didn't cheat. The professor told him to be in his office the next day at a certain time. When "John" got there, all he took was a couple of pencils and bluebooks. The professor gave him the test with different questions than the first one. "John" said that he looked at the first question, closed his eyes for a moment, visualized his textbook in front of him. He imagined turning the pages of the book, found the answer, opened his eyes, and wrote the answer word for word "from the book". He did that for each question with the professor staring right at him. Yeah, he proved his point and aced the test. When the professor asked him how long he studied the night before, "John" said he told him that he never studied for his class once the professor had stated earlier in the semester that all test questions would be from the book. He told him that he read the book the first couple days of the semester then set it on the shelf. He had that ability to read something once and remember it for years. He also had the ability to be a very controlling, abusive person who ended up stalking me after I found the courage to break up with him. So while it may be nice to have more people gifted in this way, there's sometimes a dark side to them.
My Uncle Ralph was a genius. He was kind, gentle, funny, and generous to a fault! He served as a fighter pilot in WW II. He was the youngest person to earn his doctorate in the history of the Univ. of Virginia. He studied under a professor listed in The Who’s Who of Mathematicians. I was having problems in Geometry as a Freshman (intimidated by an angry, retired Army Colonel who yelled at the class often). My dad asked Uncle Ralph if he would help me pass the final exam so I wouldn’t have to repeat the course. He taught me the entire course over a three-day weekend! He was a patient teacher who never made me feel stupid. I did so well on the test, the teacher accused me of cheating. My dad explained that his B-I-L tutored me over the Memorial Day Weekend. Teacher still didn’t believe it, so my dad got him to give me an oral exam after school (which my dad watched-he was 10 times scarier than the teacher). I aced that too! Uncle Ralph “solved unsolvable problems” for a living. But never held his smarts over anyone else. He took an art class for fun and ended up painting beautiful murals and paintings. He learned how to play chess and became the Eastern Seaboard Champion in just a couple of years. He was good at playing tennis too. I visited my aunt, grandmother, and him one weekend Freshman year of college. I had taken a guitar course, and played my final exam song for them (it was basically three chords). I taught those three chords to him in May. By Christmas, he’d taught himself to play the electric guitar, and was playing for inmates at the local prison as a part of his Christian outreach for his church. He was SO brilliant and so interested in so many facets of life. BUT, as my aunt would say, “the man couldn’t dress himself properly to save his life!” So every night, she would lay out his suit, shirt, tie and socks so he would be presentable for work. He retired as a Grade 18 from the Government. He was awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom by the President of the United States, which is the highest civilian award in the U.S. It recognizes those individuals who have made “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” Geniuses operate at an entirely different level than the rest of the world. It’s no wonder they are depicted as eccentric, odd, and their thinking processes are incomprehensible to the Screen Writers who write movies.
Incredible story; I can't fathom why this comment has so few likes. The closest person to a genius in my family that I know of was my great-great-grandfather, who was Polish and fled with his family to the US during WW2 (he actually deserted from the German army, which he was drafted into because he lived there at the time). He was a mechanical genius in particular; he was always building things in his workshop, and if there was ever a part he needed, he'd go to the hardware store to look at it for a while before just going home and making it himself. He was a blacksmith as well, and my uncle and I restored his old coal forge (still had the original hand-crank blower intact and everything) and it got the both of us into forging. And according to my mother, who still remembers visiting him when she was little, he had apparently rigged up the generator in the basement so that it would start up by pulling a light chain (like on your ceiling fan) - from the other side of the basement. No pulling at the cord or anything, just that little "click-CLICK" of the light chain and suddenly the generator kicks on. He was also a pretty deft carpenter and made toys and art out of wood all the time as well. Not quite on the level of your uncle, but both are certainly brilliant and terribly interesting men. Felt like sharing stuff about a smart family member of my own thanks to you and your intriguing uncle :) Sounds like an awesome guy and someone I'd love to just talk to and try to absorb as much of his knowledge and wisdom as I possibly can lol
What a wonderful story, Cheryl! It must've been incredible knowing him and learning from him. You're lucky, imho. I know a lady who has a grandchild with Autism. I think she said around 10 years old. He can look at a number with 30 or 40 digits, with no noticeable order or rhyme or reason, then turn away and a few minutes later write the number down precisely and with no errors. He also seems to be somewhat of a savant with mathematics. Who knows what else...but for sure I would consider him a Genius even though he doesn't, or isn't able to, communicate well with most others socially.
@@lykonic1763 I have my great grandfather's old forge and hand crank bellows as well. i got it freed up and working. need to re-dress the anvil surface but I'm getting started into blacksmithing too.
@timk4502 Some austics tend to have a natural ability (not savantism as portrayed in movies) to see/find/detect small changes in details and patterns, but that is a two-sided sword because it also causes intense sensory process overload. Social situations are often difficult and overwhelming and like watching 8 different movies at the same time while being hyper aware of not breaking social rules. It is exhausting. Let kids wear earplugs/noise blocking headphones if they want - and you trying it too can normalize some of their coping mechanisms. It is good to have someone who really gets you. Neurodivergent differences like adhd and autism are not always secrete superpowers. Gifted kids often struggle later in school because they skip over the study challenges other kids struggle with, have high expectations on them, might even do fantastic in academics but never get accepted in the working world. There is a psychologist (?) that says gifted students should be seen as a special-ed because they need better and specialised supports not focused on academic performance.
I recently found out one of my nieces is some kind of child prodigy super genius but when I got excited to talk about it with her mom she begged me not to tell anyone. She said her life would be ruined if people knew. How messed up of a world do we live in that a child doesn't want to be known as a genius.
The problem with super smart children is simple. To many times lesser adults (like employers) put so much pressure on them that they crack. Psychological centers are full of young adults that are known as broken computers. Unable to deal with the outside world their stay in these institutions can sometimes be for life.
LoL I always tell the kids I tutor to make sure that they pay attention to the negative signs because that can spell the difference between a pass and a fail. [NB: Pass and fail may be different for each student. For my daughter, a mark/score less than 80% is a fail for her.]
Ego is something people are taught to have. Children don't have ego. It always starts about parents or others authorities comparing you with others over and over and over to make you feel special.
@@russ7414 think about it this way - If you remember your childhood, you with your friends didn't care about how you differ. It was fun to be together and noone cared who is smarted, who's taller, who's prettier, e.t.c. Then at some point children start comparing each other. And there starts egoing. More you are delusional about yourself, more you cry out how everything goes wrong when you get reality checked and things show you are not so perfect.
Tbh id choose ego over respect if it meant proggressing in science and advancing our understanding, no one cares about "older peoples" feelings. But i can understand why they did it with a child in the movie, still a good movie though.

The reality is as follows….I went to Jack In The Box for lunch, the total came out to $10.27. I gave the cashier $20.27, expecting a ten dollar bill back in change, what really happened was a five minute ordeal with the cashier trying to figure out the change, then the manager trying to figure it out and eventually, I got my food for free because no one there could do basic math unless they have a calculator. Our country is doomed.
I did the same thing at In and Out. My order was like $8.50, so I gave him a $20. He gave me back $1.50. I said, "I gave you a $20." I'm not sure he was trying to cheat me, or he just forgot. But be careful out there, even if it's just a lousy $10.
@@navigator487 I remember doing some basic math at a grocery store and she was like, you should be a manager. I remember telling her I'm overqualified to be a manager, which is true I have a bachelors in computers. schools nowadays are making simple math harder than it needs to be. its almost like they want people to struggle.
When I was in first grade (over 60 years ago), even before we got to subtraction our teacher set up a pretend store in a corner of the classroom, with cardboard groceries and money. And then she taught us how to make change by counting up from the price of the product to the amount tendered. IN FIRST GRADE. It was easy. It's still easy. So several years ago, before I was making nearly all purchases (except fast food) by debit card, I drove into a gas station, filled my tank, and tried to pay. And the kid they had clerking couldn't make change without a calculator, and the batteries were dead. So I showed him the easy way to make change. His manager came out to watch, and then stuck around to thank me.
The clip makes her seem like a Mary Sue character but the movie focuses on a very emotional aspect which is a custody battle between the nice uncle (played by Chris Evans) and the evil greedy grandmother who wants to use the little girl for her own gain. That's what makes the movie so amazing and McKenna Grace is a great actress, really shows lots of potential.
On real life, who wouldn’t want to have a chance of running away of a 💩y life by using someone else’s gift? Real people do that all the time, ridding on someone’s gift or success. Parents of gifted children do it all the time. Managers of artists, boyfriends or girlfriends of artist( when they’re not artists themselves, and even if they are, like Amber & Johnny Depp) I don’t see a poignant plot here.

It’s better to learn new things/ skills and such whilst one is still so young as the mind is like a sponge and absorbs everything around them so there’s that!
Some kids are truly, wildly brilliant. It amazes me. However some of those kids can suffer greatly in our society. They often have difficulty integrating into most social groups. If they are lucky they have family or good friends that look out for them.
She’s beyond “gifted”. Nobody seems to address what she said walking out. She said, “I knew he would have a beard before I walked in there.” She’s psychic as well.
This is a made-up movie story and yet many of the "geniuses" write about it in the comments as if it were reality? Where reality can no longer be distinguished from Hollywood scripts to be impressed by it is pretty weird.
Huh. Thanks. Except that _she_ is a true genius, sometimes called Extremely or Highly Gifted (I think). Merely being gifted just means IQ above 130 (or 132, depending on the test). Some dictionaries define genius as 140+ IQ. I think that's ridiculous. *I* qualify under that definition...but I consider genius to start up around 160 IQ. _Lots_ higher. Hollywood.
One of my Professors was considered a genius in his field globally. He also worked 15 hours a day and was the kind of student who solved every single problem in the back of a math textbook when he was a kid, even those not assigned for homework. And I don’t mean dumb calculus problems where it gets repetitive but pure mathematics, abstract problems where he would prove every problem at the back of the book as well as try to derive every theorem using his own approach. These types of people have very strong natural abilities but also have insane drive, insane curiosity, fearlessness to devote years to a problem where they may get nothing, and of course they work HARD!!
That’s usually the part that’s missed in these media shows and movies… the countless hours of reading and work that they have to put in to become the legends they are. Natural inclination can take one far, but it’s never anything more than a curiosity if no work is put in. And like prodigies of instruments, they work insanely hard WHILE being obscenely naturally gifted. When you get to the top of your field, it’s a combination or balance between either how much more work you’ve done or how much more gift you have.
knowledge is its own reward....read a book once in a while even if its the same book...books are like movies catch things missed on 2nd or 5th time around....i hear alot of movies start out as books
@@V-ns7iy a lot of the time, the super difficult and complicated proof-based math textbooks have that so that you are not further messing up the page. A good amount of even more remedial math subjects may have that formatting preference I believe.

As an intellectually gifted, late-diagnosed autistic person, I felt it deep when she said “I'm not supposed to correct older people… nobody likes a smart-ass”. My childhood in that phrase. 😢 To be clear, I'm not that gifted, but still, the general idea is the same.
@alyjiyu I'm no genius by any stretch of the imagination. My grandmother passed 3rd grade to take care of her siblings as her mother was sickly. My mother passed 5th grade and gave up after that as she couldn't afford her school books. I graduated high school. Any time growing up if I said something different from what they said they would make fun of me.
I have a learning disability and get meh when people get mad when they are wrong and I'm the one who answers correctly My mum says some times people just learn differently in my case the place i went to for help and jobs said that i was a advanced disabled person and wouldn't help.
I remember correcting my math teacher once but not in a “You’re wrong” attitude. I just asked them how I got a different answer than what was on the board.
Some people seem to have a gift for cooperation and not insulting people. I try to work on that principle, but it's sometimes difficult around the super competitive types. Some people are better at teaching than others, and correcting people is part of it, but its best done carefully.
Me in freshman calculus, "sir, I'm sorry. Did you accidently skip a step? I couldn't follow." [Sighs of relief around the room] Professor, "You're just dumb. I did not skip any steps." TA to me after class, "He didn't skip one step; he skipped three." TA starts a study group and the third of us that attend pass the class.
My buddy is a genius. Graduated top 1% of his class. He worked part time under a grad student. He corrected her work and she got angry. She got him fired by saying he was difficult to work with and anti social. He has aspergers. Because of her claiming that, he had difficulty getting another lab job. Now there has been too much time between when he graduated to get a lab job anywhere. Bro is one of the most intelligent people ive ever met and he cant get a job. The weird part... his autism isnt obvious enough to get reasonable accomadations for hiring.
Because 30 years ago, no one even know what Aspergers/Autism was or knew to look for it. So us folks that OBVIOUSLY have it now and are 30yo-45yo were forced to live with it and internally adjust around it to avoid getting in trouble and just needing to get along with everyone. Funny how quickly you learn to correct people and inquire about them screwing up, but without allowing them to think that. Because if you are smart like this gal, and you don't adjust and pretend the prof is super smart, then you do indeed get labeled as stuck up, arrogant, overly confident, over the top, hard to deal with, pompous, etc. I can't even hope to guess how many times I've been called that when someone openly invites debate and I would debate and then they take it personally.
Maybe show him the great story @cherylmcnutt9905 told in these comments, about her Uncle Ralph. I reckon your mate can still change his own life AND have a wonderful influence on others' lives. Best wishes to you both.

Y’know what’s funny about this? Unless she had access to math textbooks and everything like that she wouldn’t even know half of this stuff. So yea this is kinda impossible, again if she had books than it’s a different story
@facepalm486bruh, he strived to be educated, and he worked hard. Especially against the odd of society he had to face. He didn't just randomly started spitting theorems. You need to "READ" to be able to at least know some conventions. Like what is an integral sign, what are limits, what is Euler's constant and so on. So yeah, even Ramanujan won't be able to solve it , if he never read or learn't. And that's exactly the point of original comment 😂. They don't know how to potray geniuses.
Well based on what I saw in this clip it seems like a variation of the gaussian integral. So you probably need to use polar coordinates to prove it. Still mathematics are "made" by humans so basically a genius child could be able to "invent" every branch of math in their head.
I have had the distinct pleasure of encountering very gifted people in my lifetime. It has always been exilerating to bump into one of these individuals. One is an individual that did not attend school past the 8th grade. Now in his late 70s, is still sought-after for unique mechanical engineering issues. A number of years ago, they even had him conducting seminars at one of the universities in Oregon.
In grade school and high school, I was an absolute dunce at math. But, in the eighth grade a man who wrote math books at the post graduate level spoke to my class about math that was beyond what the really smart kids in the class were familiar with. Then, he gave us a math problem that used the math formulas that he had explained to us. Much to the consternation of several top-notch math students in my class, I was the only one out of 26 students who worked out the correct answer.
It's sad because if you've seen the movie you know that the odds are that that random teacher cares more about that little girl that he just met than her actual grandma does.
Only ever knew one guy with a photographic memory. Got amazing scores in school through no effort. Went on to become a mechanic because he loved cars and that was his dream. :)
@@michael-1680 yup, not that he wasn't intelligent, he just wasn't interested in academics at all. For him it was just a quirk, not something he'd use in life.
It is a scary movie when dumb people watch a movie where a child is smart. She might be good at math but what does she know about life. She still need to be toght and trained.
I can't believe that the professors is not able to solve that. The question in the board is not that difficult. Even first year engineering students would be able solve it.
It's the integral of a normal distribution (after adding that minus sign), which is a standard homework problem for students - yeah, professors can certainly solve that.
@@Gray_mk someone who doesnt know grade 12 maths at grade 3 for no reason other than “smart!”. it would be nice to see someone who isolates themselves for hours at a time, working on projects (academic related or not), is able to talk intellectually from a young(ish) age, and possibly does poorly in school (it would be nice to show kids that doing bad in school doesnt mean youre dumb)
He was an ass. He never would have done that to an adult. She showed that she's a better person on top of being brilliant. Frank was a good Dad. She had manners.
If you know a little probability and stats, you can see pretty easy the integral is the (slightly scaled) PDF of the Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and variance sigma^2. This makes the integral pretty easy to solve since all PDFs must integrate to 1. If you didn’t know that and only have calculus knowledge, you use the old trick of solving for I^2 instead of I (where I is the integral). In the I^2 version, you can switch to polar coordinates and pretty easily solve it from there. Then, just take the square root to get back I. This problem is very elementary (in terms of “genius” level stuff).
This movie is amazing. The little girl has a tragic background and her uncle took her in, fighting for her custody when someone tried to take her away. Her mother was a genius which got pregnant by accident, birth the kid, and called her daughter the best thing that she ever did instead of all her other achievements (she was also a mess though cause of expectation she had from her own mother) before passed away. Her uncle wanted her to have a normal childhood refusing the woman's (the grandmother probably) request to test her intelligent and enrolled her to college, but caved in to his niece when the girl actually wanted to attend college. In the end, his uncle still got custody over her and the girl went to college.
Having been a super smart kid myself, I was never bothered by people who "don't like a smartass." I just thought that if older people are going to get upset at me for being right, then they're just being both dumb and mean.
The smartest person in my Applied Math undergraduate class graduated top with a First (it was the UK) and snagged a great job with IBM. After a few years I heard he quit and got a job as a Park Ranger in a National Park. I guess he was even smarter than I knew.
Most of the really smart people I have known in my life do blue-collar jobs. Oh, and all of them were or are dyslexic. Mechanics, phone surveyer, sewing expert, Semi driver, my favorite was a woman who did not graduate high school but did accounting for Les Schaub in Pen.
I was friends with a kid who was doing calculus in 7th grade... and was bored in the class. He couldn't write a 500-word essay if his life depended on it, but he could solve differential equations at the age of 11 like how most people would do basic arithmetic.
To everyone calling this movie unrealistic, Kim Ung Yong knew calculus at 3, 5 languages at 5 and published a book. He was studying nuclear physics at 8. I know at least 3 other kids off the top of my head.
@zhollamychalis4252 watch her in the new ghostbusters movies. In afterlife during the credits she sings the song haunted house. This child can do everything!
She listened to a rule from an adult who wasn't in the room because she remembered the horrible feeling of being called a "smart-ass" once... I see you girl. But your mom is right, March right back up there and tell that adult they were wrong! You are intelligent and never let them say otherwise
She wasn't just listening to "some adult that wasn't in the room" she was taking advice from her uncle Frank who raised her on his own from a baby to however old she is in the clip. Also that's not her mom, it's her grandmother whom at this point in the movie the little girl has only known for a few months. Frank purposely kept her genius a secret because he knew the grandmother would exploit her the same she exploited her daughter (who was the little girl's mom) so he definitely had her best interest in mind. Unfortunately the only reason the grandma marched her back into the room to correct the professor was to prove she was a genius and to gain the possible accolades from her gift, and not to teach her a lesson about speaking her truth regardless of anyone's age.
I haven't seen this movie, but atleast Matilda made some sense. Like she was reading all the time. Despite magic powers she didn't just know things which she never studied or read before.
@@tonywoutrs this movie was better than Matilda, it didn't introduce magic powers that don't change the plot whatsoever and the caring parental figure in her life doesn't let her go because he loves her. I think this movie would resonate with adults more since Matilda is about Matilda from Matilda's perspective, whereas "gifted" is about Mary from Frank's perspective. Parents and adults can better empathize with the suffering parent who is having their child wrongfully ripped away from them opposed to a kid who eventually leaves their parents and family the moment a window of opportunity opens
@@CinnamonBob Sure, that could make more relatable to some. Based on what you're telling me they're simply completely different narratives then. The main thing people here are comparing is the portrayal of genius. Since that's all that little clip gives us. And the scene without context looks silly, for a movie that seems to have a more serious tone than Matilda. That's why I pointed out Matilda didn't seem unrealistically smart, despite the surrounding silliness.
Reminds me a little of how my genius was discovered. It's kind of a long story Mostly because I'm a total idiot that has trouble figuring out how to make a bowl of cereal and I'm only intelligent in my own mind Excuse me while I go stumble through life😂
