Movie Reviews

          This was the movie about the young girl named Hellen Keller. Helen was not born deaf, and blind. When she was seventeen months old, she got very serious fever. So, after recovering from the sickness, she became deaf, dumb and blind. She became wild tempered, naughty and undisciplined child when she was six years old. Her parents, Captain Keller and Kate Keller became increasingly troubled by Helen's wild temper. They were unable to control her and because of  their less knowledge about how to train and educate her.

          Aunt Ev suggested to write a letter to Dr. Cisolm because he had cured some blind problem. But Dr. Cisolm can do nothing and he recommended Dr. Alexander Bell. So because Hellen was a young child and his parents didn’t allow to bring her out of        home, he ordered Annie Sullivan to teach and educate Helen.

          And then, Annie Sullivan came and entered to Helen’s life. Annie was certain that language was the key to get  access to Helen's mind. So Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller moved into a house not far from the Keller’s house. They began to develop a trust and relationship of  love and respect for each other. Helen Keller began to spell the names of things on Helen's palm. Although Helen can spell the words back on Annie's palm, the comprehension of the words was important too. And then she began to learn many words and touched of that things.

          After spending two weeks together in the garden house, Helen finally obeyed Annie, but when the time is up and they returned to the Keller’s family, Helen quickly reverted to her  bad behavior. The Kellers family were allow her to do it because she was a special guest but Annie doesn't let them . When Helen spilt a water in pitcher to Annie, Annie took her out to refill it. She spelt "water" into Helen's hand, and suddenly Helen try to say it but unclear and unfluently. So after that, the miracle was happened. She understood by spelling the words on hers palm while she had restrictiveness hindrance.

The Moral Value of this movie is

A big desire and empathy from Annie Sullivan to teach, train, and educate Helen to be discipline, independent and  to have a good attitude can make Helen changed to be better than before. No matter what difficulties we face. Everyone has challenges to reach whatever they want to reach while they are deafness and blindness.
