      Love is not about petting children into animals, but about educating them to be more like humans

      I have never understood the nature of education before, and I have had an epiphany when I saw this film today. Before I wanted to come, I was the child who had been petted as an animal. Although he had sound limbs, had good eyes and clever ears, he was not stupid or pinched, and could speak well. When I was a minor, I kept testing the bottom line of the people around my parents and got what I wanted through the form of rogue. When I grew up, I always felt that I was a...

      A good film that should not be missed (2007/7/12)

      The story about Helen Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan.
      "How to reach her? How to open her mind to the world?"

      The story of Helen Keller has always had a concept, this time it is specific to the cause and effect. Very surprised that there is such a teacher in the world. It's really not an ordinary person. Annie herself is not only a teacher, she herself is almost blind, and later recovered part of her vision through surgery. Standing out among thousands of disabled people,...

      "Helen Keller"

      It's a story about Helen Keller's childhood. The acting skills are very good. Although it is not a martial arts show, it seems that he has suffered a lot of injuries. It seems too exaggerated now, but the style of the movie at that time seems to be like this. Called a classic! There are tears in the eyes of how Teacher Sullivan did it! If I, I would rather be more leisurely than feel frustrated. I was angry when I saw the attitude of the captain several times, and wanted to say to Teacher...

      Two legends

      Black and white film, the story of Helen Keller's childhood education. Her teacher, Anne Sullivan, was also blind. At the beginning of the film, she was very sunny and speaking loudly. Teacher Sullivan is of course an extremely important person to Helen, who Helen calls “the person who reshapes life”. In the description of "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", Sally's difficulty in teaching Helen does not seem to be as deep as the movie.
             The film only shows the difficult process of...

      Light up the light in your heart

      After watching the movie, Joe said that it took luck for Helen to finally learn to speak. Dongdong said that if Helen lived in a poor family, maybe he would die early, right? When he saw Helen finally learned to think and learned to utter "wa-wa", the moment his parents hugged her tightly, tears filled their eyes. Maybe we who are watching the movie have been waiting for the good result of a climax, looking forward to the beautiful ending of the story. We are more willing to comment on Helen's...

    Movie quotes

    • Annie Sullivan: Pity? For this tyrant? The whole house turns on her whims! Is there anything she wants she doesn't get? I'll tell you what I pity: that the sun won't rise and set for her all her life, and every day you're telling her it will! What good will your pity do when you're under the strawberries, Captain Keller?

    • Annie Sullivan: It's less trouble to feel sorry for her than it is to teach her anything better.

    • James Keller: Nothing I say is right.

      Kate Keller: Why say anything?
