This week, Sir Anwari played a movie named "The Miracle Worker" for us. It is a true story of Helen Keller (a deaf, blind and mute girl) and Anne Sullivan, a gripping battle to overcome impossible obstacles and the struggle to communicate.
As a young girl, Helen Keller is stricken with scarlet fever. The illness leaves her blind, deaf and mute . Often frustrated and desperate, Helen flies into uncontrollable rages and tantrums that terrify her hopeless family. After that, her parents seek help from the Perkins Institute, which send them a "half-blind Yankee schoolgirl" named Anne Sullivan to tutor their daughter. After the first separating Helen from her over-protective parents, Anne begins the arduous process of teaching the girl the basics of language. She tries to quell the child tantrums by spelling into Helen's hands whenever she wants something, namely 'cake' and 'doll'. But Helen outsmarts her, hitting Anne in the face with the doll and locks her in the room. Through persistence and love, and sheer stubbornness, Anne breaks through Helen's walls of silence and the darkness and then teaches her to communicate.
I personally think that this movie is great because it is about an amazing story of the relationship between Helen Keller and the woman who taught her how to relate to the world around her. In my opinion, the moral value of this movie is perseverance. For example , Anne Sullivan not only overcome her own disability, but enabled an imprisoned child to learn, grow and become a fabled author and public speaker. "The Miracle Worker" is a story and film portraying real human courage, patience, individual and personal will and it will continues to live in my memory.
