Movie Reviews of Children of a Lesser God
Movie Review: Please read this note from deaf reviewer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do love this movie million times!!!! It shows the similar situation Marlee and I are going through. Just like Helen Keller was too, I praise to God every day for being in life showering His glory!
You gotta understand one thing that William Hurt is extermly WRONG when he don't keep his promise about not asking her to speaking. My (deaf) teacher used telling me as a child , "If you don't want to speak, then don't let anybody force you!" Why should I let them if you don't want for them telling you what do with your life? Not even your mom and dad.... I will tell you a true story :when I had a great speech teacher I been with for many years but I had not get a least or nope of speaking at all, but I know hard-hearing student whom successfully did. I was envinious a lil' and asked my teacher why he got it but not me? She said "I watched you all this years but speeching is not your thing, playing is" What did she meant? In other words, she said it meant It was not really what I want but my parents asked for it. You just can't lock away in the room and make a deaf kid learn speaking for hours/years , it wont work (trust me) . It won't work if you lecture. They has to want it so they can put in hard working .
It came to me naturally when I said the first word "mom" , "dad" and "I LOVE YOU". If you make a child while they doesn't want then they will walk away like Marlee did in movie. I did the same , but I was like yawning and distracted playing with something while my speech teacher taught.
