good movie

After the first 30 minutes, I don't want this film to end. At the end, I can guess what the ending is. The long shot of the greenery in downtown Paris began to faintly feel that something was going to happen. When the 400-beat soundtrack sounded I almost burst into tears. If I hadn't watched Four Hundred Strikes, I would have been very puzzled. There is also the replay of the falling glacier scene at the end of the film, and the crying and smiling faces of the people who accompany the protagonist in his final moments, which are all very sad and artistic. The input of the director team and the choice of photography technology are very attentive. In fact, the acting skills of Mathieu Amalric as Jean-Do and Eddie Redmayne as Hawking are better. There is a chance to read the original book by M. Bauby.
