The Diving Bell and the Butterfly(2007)

I've seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly(2007), the true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, who suffered a stroke which left him with a condition known as locked-in syndrome. The condition paralyzed him from the neck down and also can't speak. This is engrossing from the first frame, as we see everything from Jean Do's point of view, right when he wakes up from the coma. It's claustrophobic for a while, as the viewer is in his POV and sees how he must feel. Jean Do has many sarcastic remarks which apparently were ad-libbed by actor Mathieu Amalric. Max von Sydow is heartbreaking as his papa. It's ultimately inspiring as Jean Do learns to communicate through blinks and composes his memoir. Wonderful film.
