This film had an incredible side to it, mostly out of wonder and how life would chase such a genius, in fact, most genius children end up doing whatever they feel like because society suddenly drops on them all the responsibilities of the society and hope them to fix, and if they dont, they are persecuted until they breakdown... So this film at least got that really right...

It is without a doubt one of my most remembered films of those years. You're right my friend, when a genius like that comes along, society seems to do the opposite to accept him and ends up making him feel misunderstood and undervalued.
George lived that feeling already in his adulthood, but as you point out, child geniuses have to deal with this situation throughout their lives.
And it is unfair!
