Everyone is born with the ability and desire to communicate and learn. Everyone wants to explore the world around them, understand and distinguish objects. A person wants to interact with the people around him; know, love and be loved. Everyone has the ability and desire to speak, to communicate. This does not exclude people with disabilities. In The Miracle Worker, released in 2000, he tells the story of Anne Sullivan and her struggle to teach the blind, deaf and mute child Helen Keller. At the beginning of the film, the family, convinced that there is no hope for Helen, intends to place her in an institution. However, as a last-ditch effort to control the little girl, Anne Sullivan is sent to the Keller home to help young Helen. Throughout the film, Anne attempts to teach Helen not only how to behave but also how to communicate. Anne performs this through sign language, teaching Helen each letter and word by placing the signed letter in the palm of Helen's hand, soon discovering that the little girl is actually intelligent. Anne faces constant obstacles, all due to the Kellers, who questioned Anne's teaching methods, pity rather than Helen's own disability. Subsequently, given permission to live alone with Helen for two weeks, Helen learns to behave and learn an incredible amount of words. Ann, however, fails to achieve a break with Helen, who still cannot connect words with reality. When the two return home, Helen returns to her old habits. As discipline, Anne takes Helen to fill a jug of water, which Helen has poured into during a whim, and it is at the water pump that Helen finally manages to find an opening, connecting the word "water" to the wet fluid that comes out from the pump. It is found in... middle of the paper... a name or a meaning. Because her communication skills could not be developed, Helen was mute and the people around her pitied her. Yet the film reveals that despite Helen's limitations, she still has the ability and desire to communicate and learn. I believe The Miracle Worker is an incredible film that accurately depicts the disabilities of being blind, deaf, and dumb. Many can gain a better understanding by watching this movie as it depicts the struggles of the family, the teacher, and the child. It reveals that with the right help, no disabled child is lost. This film is not only accurate in its portrayal of an almost feral child, but also of a bright child who longs to learn and communicate with the world. It shows that love, pity and faith for the child are all key factors in his growth. This shows that you should not lose faith in a disabled child.
