Black is her world. No sight, no sound and no words to speak. Young Michelle suffocates in the vacuum of her inner world. She is like an animal living in the dark.
Michelle McNally a girl who becomes deaf and blind after an illness at the age of eighteen months. Born to an Anglo-Indian family, Michelle is a bright, intelligent girl whose world is dark, black and silent. She cannot communicate with the outer world. Nor can she comprehend the forms and shapes of things.
This story has been written in philosophic way, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said “much learning does not teach understanding” this is an example for the time that Michelle family patience, but the teacher did not give up; he believed that learning is practice, good behavior; learning is the education of the mind, and the building up of performances, he continued teaching her the forms and shapes of things until she become well educated lady. Also as the Chinese Proverb said “Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid only of standing still." This quote explained how Michelle faced her filer. Although she had field many times but she had never learned that there is something called impossible. Michelle is ambitions, she never give up, she & her teacher were dreaming to see Michelle wearing her graduation rob, they didn’t give up until she make her dream come true. He kept teaching her & she kept trying her best to reach to the topes point.
Lao TZU the Ancient Chinese his quote was about the opposite between things and related in such way. “Heaviness is the root of lightness” and in black there is many opposite things, but they focused in the black\dark Vs light, Michelle, she lived her childhood in dark she was surrounded in the black until she learned what does light mean, how could light makes her a life, light is knowing, learning, and education. Light is knowledge, she realized that light is the way to be free from darkness.
Michelle has many strong lady characters, she is intelligent, strong personality, survivor never gives up, ambition, and she is loyal, Debraj her teacher dreams to make her a graduate. But a quirk of fate awaits them as he slowly begins to lose his memory. He succumbs to Alzheimer's and one day she loses him completely, she is in search of her lost teacher She finds him after 20 long years, near her home with his memory completely gone that he cannot even recognize her, the reason was his debilitating health and his Alzheimer’s attacks make him bedridden. But Michelle never left him, she wanted to, return the favor that he been through with her in all events from the day she was a kid until now he is the one who made her educated.
Debraj, the tutor of manic proportions raging into the darkness like a Shakespearean tragic-hero. He played a strong role, he is the one who slowly introduces Michelle to the world of light and sound. With his help she tries to make sense of the pitch dark world around her. She learns her first words. The teacher becomes her constant companion and he has big ambitions for her. He helps her to get into a regular college and sits with her during class interpreting the lessons to her through hand contact to fulfill their.
Debraj is not only a teacher he is a brilliant teacher, he invented a new way of teaching, when he met Michelle he was so inspired to teach her, cause he believed that she is a human being & she can live just like any others can & she should be treated like others, not like animals or different. Debraj’s first encounters with Michelle are far from pleasant. But soon he realizes the immense potential the girl carries and decides to use entirely new methods to teach her. He teaches her the language of touch and smell so that she begins to learn about the things and creatures in the world she cannot see.
Debraj is smeller to Michelle, and may that why they are concerted, both are intelligent, strong, loyal, and they never give up, although Debraj slowly begins to lose his memory, he was trying to remember, he didn’t give up until he had the Alzheimer’s attack.
I really loved the movie because it’s one of the kinds it mixed of different feelings. It makes u laugh or cry.
