The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Butterfly Diving Bell is sitting on my bedside table. This is a busy day, I am done, I thank the author, Jean-Dominique Bauby. As a beautiful French dessert, you should taste every sophisticated and wonderful phrase. The sense of humor freed by Bobby is combined with depression, requiring reading and slow digestion. He must be a fan of Morrissey. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Bobby, he was a former editor in the Paris edition of Elle magazine.

A diving bell and a butterfly were written from the viewpoint of the French journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby and the editor of ELLE magazine of former Paris - the diving bell and the butterfly's paper. On December 8, 2005, Bobby had a severe stroke and he developed a rare illness called rocking syndrome. The brain continues to function normally, but the body is completely paralyzed. Jean - Do kept motion on the head and the left eye and wrote a memoir with a boring blink.

Jean-Dominique Bauby, the real theme of the diving bell and butterfly, was "locked" for the stroke. And the director Julian Schnabel did a wonderful job of locking me and him. In addition to his ability to lick one eye, Bobby marveled, and during the first one third of the movie the camera can only see the world from the perspective of being trapped and tormented. This is not a fantasy skill, it is a transfer of creative responsibility. Most of the biography about extreme physical disability places the weight of the speech on the actor (please think of Daniel Day - Lewis on my left leg), the diving watch burdens the camera and put it on it I spread it to the audience. Shunabel eventually expanded his palette - he used flashback, fantasy sequences and the Bobby (Matthew Amarick) scene from the caretaker's point of view. But the real victory of this movie is that we have never really left Bobby's head. The diving watch is a shocking experience from the back.

This may be true if you are a serious film enthusiast or a movie student and you have not seen my left foot need to appear in your list. But diving bells and butterflies are beyond being a great movie. This is a medium term fix for your life. I have the opportunity to see things through extreme POV and to play a role when I can do it. I panted and cried, I did flinch, I ... I felt it. Even after several days passed, I do not know. I am very grateful, I can write to you, and I type speed, instead of flashing with just one letter at a time. As I saw in front of the movie, I do not know if life will be 100%. Look at the diving bell and butterfly, then call the person you love, do what you always want, then count your blessings.
