The disease of intelligence


Recently I watched a particular movie, Phenomenon by Gerald Di Pego. This movie made me realize that sometimes, intelligence is a handicap for a person. Effectively, in this movie, George Malley, played by John Travolta, is struck by a flash and suddenly becomes intelligent. In his case, knowing much of anything in a short amount of time is negative for him. In this text, I’ll show, with the example of the story of George Malley, how intelligence can be negative.

Firstly, everything is fine for the character before the flash. He has a good life and great friends. When the flash got him, he becomes very smart and people began to get scare of him. In fact, George lives in a small town where everybody knows everybody and people are not very cultivated. When they saw that George was kind of weird, they start to believe he was abnormal like an alien. This intelligence ruined his life because everybody around him that used to be his friends start to have some doubts about him. They know that there was something wrong.

Secondly, yes intelligence can be a great thing to have. In this case, George could solves some problems in his life and in the others life. In sum, intelligence can greatly helped, but it has its place and must be managed.
