      Another film that touches the soul

      First of all, I want to say that the actors performed well, especially the eye movements of teacher "tee", which is really moving. Seeing the emotional part, I actually shed tears.

           The line in the play "I never taught her the word impossible" is really good. There is nothing impossible in the world, only things you want to do, which are very well interpreted in the movie.

          Seeing the limits of human nature in the movie, if you don't push yourself, you will never know...

      Cherish everything you have

      I never thought about what life would be like without seeing or hearing. When I saw Helen Keller's deeds when I was a child, I only marveled at her success and incredibleness. I never thought about the hardship and hard work behind it. The movie gave me an opportunity to understand a world without sound and color. I couldn’t experience it personally, but seeing the heroine’s life could give me a glimpse of it. I can’t imagine how utterly dark and quiet an environment would be....

      Black.

      She was suffocated to death in the dark.
      How can I feel the same way.
      I can close my eyes, but I can't pierce my ears.
      dark. In her world, darkness is everything.
      She is like a roaring little beast, she destroys, she eats with her hands, no one has taught her.
      Tee saw the bell on her body, and he pulled it off fiercely. Holding a bunch of blooming flowers, she happily went to see the teacher who had returned. When she touched the long chain, one end was the bed, the...

      If the world is dark and silent

      I don’t know when modern psychology began to explore the human consciousness and perceptual system. Now scientists use various sophisticated instruments to detect electromagnetic waves and infrared waves, but their papers have only been confirmed repeatedly and have no achievements. Because more than 2500 years ago, Shakyamuni knew all this by sitting under the bodhi tree with a physical body. The Buddha told his disciples that there are six elements in contact with the environment: eyes, ears,...

      A good inspirational film

      I bought it at a dish shop a long time ago.
      Very ordinary cover, very old-fashioned introduction, always on the last one of the stack of discs.

      Then one day, I still watched it.
      It was a mess of crying.

      ===== The

      story is simple with a little complicated.
      A tutor devoted infinite love and patience in order to teach a little girl who had the same symptoms as her own child.
      The girl gets better every day, she no longer fears water, no longer eats...

      We are all blind before God, and none of us can see him! I have to say that this film has changed my prejudice against Indian films. The film is sincere, and the rhythm and loose structure of Indian films are almost gone in this film. In addition, the soundtrack plays an absolute role in setting off the atmosphere in the film....

      Does anyone else know the story of Helen Keller? I changed it to the Indian version and continued a paragraph | The interpretation of Helen’s story was originally a process of recreating miracles. This version is too hard to perform, although there is no typical Indian singing and dancing, but the excessively exaggerated movements are almost the...

      Finally saw the full version. . . Since I was young, I often wondered how to live if I was blind or deaf? Everything becomes so difficult, even simple things. No matter what kind of incompleteness, it is full of pain, which is why this story can move you and...

    Snow is the core element in the movie "Black". The crew went to the northern Indian city of Simla to wait for snow in mid-January 2005, but the sky was not beautiful. They had to buy thousands of bags of salt from the local market and transfer snow machines from Mumbai. After work ended at 4 in the morning, the local citizens who were traveling were stunned. On the second day, Sim pulled a heavy snow.
    "Black" is the favorite color of...

    In the 2-hour film length, "Black" does not intersperse any singing and dancing, regardless of the technical level or the choreography and director links are undisputed world-class standards.
