    The part about eating and fighting was so stupid, even if it happened in reality, it was stupid. The director exaggerated this part too much and made it look like they wanted to kill each...

    I actually learned that Anne won an Oscar from be kind rewind because of this, but after watching the stills, I found out that this is a picture of Helen Keller's text in the high school English book (Beijing Normal University Edition). The plot is not boring at all, but the whole film is really depressing, and the part of eating and fighting is full of tension, so in the end, when Helen finally understood the meaning of words, his emotions were released to the greatest extent, and I couldn't...

The Miracle Worker quotes

  • Annie Sullivan: I wanted to teach her what language is. I know without it to do nothing but obey is no gift. Obedience without understanding is a blindness too. Is that all I've wished on her?

  • [first lines]

    Doctor: She'll live.

    [Captain Arthur and Kate Keller embrace tenderly and thankfully at the seemingly good news]

    Doctor: I can tell you now I thought she wouldn't.

    Captain Arthur Keller: I thought too I'd miss my wife's first. It's a battle scar

    Kate Keller: Doctor, will my girl be alright?

    Doctor: By morning she'll be knockin' down Cap'n Keller's fences again.

    Kate Keller: Oh, is there nothing we should do?

    Captain Arthur Keller: Put up stronger fences, huh?

    Doctor: Just let her get well. She knows how better than we do. These things come and go in infants, never know why. Probably acute congestion with sunken brain procedure.

    [Captain Keller escorts him out of the room]

    Doctor: The main thing is the fever's gone. I never saw a baby more vital.

    Kate Keller: [Helen starts to cry and Kate lovingly tries to subdue her in a happy but emotional state] Shh, don't you cry now. You've been trouble enough. Call it acute congestion indeed. I don't see what's so cute about a congestion just cause it's yours. We'll have your father run an editorial in his paper: the wonders of modern medicine. They don't know whether they're cured even when they're cured. Men, men and their battle scars; we women have...

    [trails off as she notices something's not right with Helen]

    Kate Keller: ... Helen?

    [snaps her fingers feverishly]

    Kate Keller: Helen? Cap'n! AHHH!

    [shreiks for her husband]

    Captain Arthur Keller: [rushing back inside the house and up to Helen's room] Kate, what is it? What's happened? Kate, Kate...

    Kate Keller: Look at - look, she can't see! Look at her eyes, she can't see!

    [Captain Keller waves the lantern in front of Helen's face]

    Kate Keller: Uh, or hear! When I screamed she didn't blink! Not an eyelash!

    Captain Arthur Keller: [frantically clapping his hands in front of Helen's face trying to get her attention] Helen! Helen!

    Kate Keller: [in hysterics] She, can't, hear, you! AHHH!

    [they both shreik in hysterics and the scene fades out]
