I believe this is one of the most spectacular movies I have ever seen! The most amazing thing about "The Miracle Worker" is its absolutely timeless quality. It still holds up beautifully for a film that's almost 40 years old.
The movie is about a 7-year old blind, deaf and mute child named Helen Keller. After numerous attempts to communicate with Hellen, the Kellers hire Annie Sullivan, a twenty year old teacher from Boston. Annie, who is virtually blind herself, has an aggressive, but meaningful approach to help Helen overcome her disabilities. This movie truly does deliver, from the infamous dining room scene to the heart wrenching finale.
The famously long sequence in the dining room where no more than perhaps five lines of dialogue are uttered, it is relentlessly physical, a dazzling and exhausting battle of wills, so entrancing a show by the two characters as they run around the room, spoons thrown, with every object getting trashed. It is violence in a different form, one with an extremely productive purpose that makes it impossible to avert your eyes. It's mesmerizing.
The ending is arguably sentimental, which is why the devastating last 10 minutes are so wonderful. The film covers only the short period leading up to Helen Keller's breakthrough to others as a child of intelligence -- instead of a child who's incorrectly believed to be mentally handicapped.
This is one of those movies that you can't just watch once. The more you watch it, the more you'll love it. I must admit, it's hard not to be emotional moved by this masterpiece which is "One of the finest works of art in the history of motion pictures." (Boxoffice)
我相信這是我觀賞過的壹部最出色的電影！“奇跡工作者”最令人驚奇的是它那絕對永恒的質量；幾乎是40歲了，但它仍然是壹部靚麗的電影。
這部電影是關於壹個名為海倫凱勒的盲，聾，啞的7歲孩子。經過無數次嘗試與海倫溝通失敗後，她父母聘請了壹位來自波士頓的二十歲教師，安妮蘇利文。安妮本身也是幾乎失明的人，她采取壹種咄咄逼人但有意義的方式幫助海倫克服她的殘疾。這部電影確實不負眾望，從那著名的飯廳場景到打動心扉的結局。
這著名的飯廳場面是壹組挺長的片段，也許只有不到五句的對話；但卻是壹場持續的、粗野的、眼花繚亂和筋疲力盡的意誌鬥爭，隨著兩個角色在飯廳的來回奔跑、亂扔勺子和摔破所有的東西，展示了壹場引人入勝的表演。這是壹種另類的，很有目的性的暴力鏡頭，讓人看得目不轉睛，使人著迷。而結局可以說是傷感的，這也是為什麽最後10分鐘是如此精彩絕妙的原因。故事沒有描述海倫被人誤解為弱智，而只描繪在短期內導致她有所突破的壹個聰明孩子。
這是那種不能只觀看壹次的電影，妳會越看越喜歡它。我必須承認很難不被這部傑作感動，‘票房’雜誌將之稱為‘電影史上最優秀的藝術作品之壹’。
