Life with Locked-In Syndrome

"You're locked in your body, and I'm locked in my apartment."
We're both inside a diving bell, the only difference is the shape and color of the diving bell. We all have things that we can't get over. But our minds are free butterflies, even when we are trapped in the smallest of spaces.
It's hard to imagine an eyelid exchange, the accompanying people are powerful, and the trapped soul is humorous.
There are some beautiful scenes in the film. This man who was physically imprisoned, the one eye that could not be turned, was still attracted by the woman's skirt. He couldn't finish swallowing, but he could still imagine the best binge eating and drinking, and he could even imagine having a different relationship with this hospital. The woman who Xie Yuanyuan stroked my shoulder behind my back one day told me that I could stand up, and I actually could.
