/tv/ can you recommend me some movies in which high IQ of the main character is shown through his actions, and not by him spouting huge amount of pointless information.
>pic related is the only character that I know

But what if his actions are spouting a huge amount of pointless information?

That's fine kek
I just don't want characters that are shown to be smart by explaining quantum physic and shit. That's just what retarded writers think it means being smart

Shawshank Redemption is a massively overrated film but the way the main character sandbagged the warden for decades and escaped with all his embezzled money showed a patient intelligent man fairly well.

Cape Fear, the guy knows exactly the limits of the law which he uses to fuck with the other guy without breaking any law. He isn't a genius just smart enough and dedicated, but the exposition is better than le epic high iq ricky&morty fan explaining every detail of his plan dramatically.

In The Usual Suspects, the main character spouts huge amounts of information, but it serves to conceal his genius while his actions reveal it.

Pacific Heights. Micheal Keaton as a con artist/ sociopath, the role he was born to play.

I want to see more films like that, actually. But all I can think of off the top of my head is The Talented Mister Ripley. And I don't even care for the character.
Always seems to be evil geniuses or sociopaths.

Who was intelligent in Fargo? The ditsy but strong independent single mother who couldn't do her job properly or the criminals who couldn't even commit crimes? I guess that deaf guy was probably one of the smartest. Unless you're referring to the movie of-course.
