3) The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
Trending
The movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, a French journalist with "locked-in syndrome," brought on by a massive stroke. Being wholly paralyzed except in his left eye, he blinks his story with a prolonged and challenging method of dictating his memoir. The film captures this inward world when memories and fantasy serve as an avenue of liberation within his most constricted and reduced physical world. The surreal imagery depicts his sense of entrapment, like a "diving bell," and his imagination is the "butterfly" that enabled him to escape.
