    I think because of how aggressive she is touching things to learn what they are is what makes this so touching. Helen finally is seeing the world for the first time and doesn't want to wait, she's so excited.

    The moment where, now that she understands everything around her has its own name, Helen points at Annie as if to ask “what is your name?” with tears in her eyes … recognizing for the first time that this person has been trying to help her all along and feeling a newfound love and gratitude of immeasurable depth towards her … that’s a cinematic moment, right there.

    You can see in these scenes why Patty Duke's performance got her an Oscar at such a young age. The physicality, the way she seems to look and point "through" Anne Bancroft, the way she hardly even seems to blink in the scenes I've seen, and that tear coming down at the end of this scene, and again, without blinking is just incredible. I have to check out the whole movie.

    Annie was the first to see Helen not as a wild animal or a troublemaker or a "mental defective" but as an intelligent human being ravenous for knowledge, exploration, freedom, and connection. And she gave her all of those things in the form of language. A miracle, indeed.

    • @ContessaChalice

      Annie had some experience with a deaf-blind person before. While a student at the Perkins School for the Blind, she met Laura Bridgman, who had lost her sight, hearing, smell, and taste after scarlet fever. Bridgman was educated by Samuel Howe, learned Braille and manual alphabet, and was the most educated deaf-blind person at the time, until Helen. Bridgman was elderly, her achievements mostly forgotten by then, and Annie forged a friendship with her that helped Annie become proficient in fingerspelling and laid some groundwork for teaching Helen. Helen's mother had read about Bridgman in Charles Dickens' "American Notes" and wrote to the Perkins School hoping to find a teacher who could help Helen.

    As someone who grew up in the "special education" system in school (I've been visually impaired since birth) the part where Helen gestures to Anne to ask, "Who are you/what are you called?" and Anne answers, "Teacher," moves me to tears every time. It really does take uniquely empathetic people to specialize in teaching students with disabilities and to do it well, because the teachers who are genuinely good at it are the ones who see the disabilities as simply a part of their students rather than things that need to be "fixed" or "overcome". The only time Helen's blindness and deafness were holding her back were when her parents shaped their treatment of her around what they thought a blind/deaf person was capable of--or rather, wasn't capable of. Once Anne arrived and believed in Helen enough to hold her accountable and consider her worth educating as one would any other child, there was no stopping Helen from becoming the badass she later went on to be while still being blind and deaf. Anne and Helen are amazing women who should be remembered and celebrated as their individual selves and the famous teacher/student team they became. They are queens in various disability communities, but especially the blind, d/Deaf, and d/Deaf-blind. Rest in peace to them both. Blessed be.

Helen’s utter ecstasy, Anne’s realization and relief, her parents hugging her in rapture, the emotion in the words “MOTHER, PAPA, SHE KNOWS!” And then the whole thing quieting down to the somber ending part in which Helen learns the word for “teacher.” It still makes me either cry or laugh every time I see it.

    In just a few short days, it will be eight years since my miracle worker departed from this earth. We met in middle school and we were both in 8th grade. I was a lonely autistic boy in a new school that people didn’t take a second look at. She saw me sitting alone at a lunch table and asked me to come sit with her and her friends, from there on she set a chain of reaction in motion that still goes on to this day. She brought me out of my shell, took me under her wing, helped me get around school, always told me how amazing I was, always made me feel better with her brilliant sense of humor, taught me that my autism doesn’t have to consume my identity, and she left a hand print on my heart. When I graduated high school, her family awarded me her scholarship and I successfully went to college and graduated having made the National Honors Society and Deans List.
    Allie Castner, forever my miracle worker, best friend, and guardian angel. Someone who cared enough to make an impression and change that lasted a lifetime.

      @@elektra121 if you read the book, Annie was blind as a child, but not deaf. Not too long before she came to the Kellers as a teacher, she had an operation that restored her sight (some of it anyway). That's why she needed the dark glasses. Her brother died in the asylum, still a boy. They didn't remove the body for days, and Annie pretended to play with him as if he were still alive. She grew, and learned to navigate the facility. One of the doctors there wanted to start a school for blind children and worked with Annie to develop the skills. She was doing pioneering work, and she could earn a living at it. Helen's parents were fairly well off, which is how they heard about the doctor's methods. They could have paid for her care as she got older, but she was so wild, and she was growing up. They hoped she could be civilized. The doctor sent Annie, who knew she could be taught much more.
      For her part, that moment at the pump, Helen had a memory of when she was still a TODDLER, learning to talk. She had been born a normal healthy little girl, but contracted meningitis at like age 2 or 3 which left her blind and deaf. She remembered learning how to say the word "water," and finally connected it with Annie's finger signs.
      It wasn't so much a matter of being smart - just surviving as children proved they were both clever - or even being tenacious. Each woman needed someone else to unlock her future. Neither one could have done it on her own.

Then one day a strange one shows up and starts tickling your hand and wants you to feel it's face. No clue as to what the hell is going on whatsoever.

    And I especially want to thank you for posting this with the comments on. I understand alot of people say cruel things. But I'm sure Hellen has heard them all. Or is aware of them anyways.

    This week while teaching my Chinese students, and one of them being a 10-year-old girl, I had given a discussion topic of "The Five Senses". After we'd talked at length about that, I suggested she watch this movie just as kind of an extra, fun homework assignment for next week. Of course I needed to look at it again myself since I hadn't seen it since my teenage years. I was astounded at the stellar acting by the whole cast, including Andrew Prine, and Inga Swenson, a quintessential southern belle who called her husband Captain, and of course Anne Bancroft (who was married 30 years to comedian and produced Mel Brooks) and Patty Duke. I noticed all the fabulous details noted by others below, but a couple extra things stood out to me.
    One was the great acting (and no doubt directing) of Patty Duke portraying Helen trying to find/recover the sound of "wawa/water" in her brain. The way that her face twists muscles makes so much sense to me, maybe because I am an English teacher trying to help second-language learners to produce unfamiliar pronunciations. A sighted child has the benefit of seeing speakers move their lips and their faces when talking. Helen would have scant memory of this, so figuring out those contortions would be a challenge.
    Another thing that stuck me was Helen's ringing of the porch bell. Without ever having heard the bell, she knew that its motion always brought people running. I imagined along with gathering them together, she was also just ecstatic and wanted to shake with joy, generating every feeling of vibration and movement within her soul.

    She comes to the short part of her life when she remembers having eyesight and hearing. Yet at that point she makes the best of the remaining 80 years of her life and does a fine job of it!

    Imagine the perspective of Helen’s parents. They hear Annie shouting random words, followed by “YES!” She frantically tells them to come outside, where Helen is reaching towards anything and everything. She grabs them, and Annie signs “mother, papa!” And finally cries out “SHE KNOWS!” As Helen embraces them both, and they know everything will be okay.

    Helen has to memorize every name letter by letter because she can't hear what Anne is saying - she's just memorizing sequences of letters. She remembers there is a vocalization that goes with each word because she said her first word (wah-wah, or water) at age 6 months. But she hasn't learned how to pronounce anything because she hasn't yet learned to figure out sounds by touching the speaker's lips and throat.

    I saw this movie once in upper elementary. Every year we would learn about Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan’s story and of all the ways we learned it, this movie was by far my favorite way to learn it.
    Hear Anne Sullivan cry out “she knows!” was so awesome. It made me cry and still does to this day.

    To be deaf and blind.... my gawd how unfair. As a small kid watching this in school, I still couldn't fully understand the gravity of Helen's situation. Now I realize simply having her understand that life, and everything in it has a name, a place, and a purpose would be a task of enormous proportion. Poor girl was stuck in her own prison.
