The movie can be said to be touching, especially after learning that it is adapted from a real story, no matter who it is, no matter who is trapped in the world to pick a disease, he still tries his best to roam in the world of ideas. Just such a subject matter, how to shoot it, or who shoots it, will not reduce its appeal and sensationalism, because this is originally beyond the concept of ordinary people, and the director's skill cannot be reflected in it.
The film is plain and simple. It is narrated by the monologue of the male protagonist in a low voice, and very indifferently describes the process from despair and pain caused by a severe stroke to an optimistic and positive process, often showing the setting sun in the French suburbs. The beach, the grass field lighthouse is meaningful.
The only one of those shots that strikes me as quite good was a change in the hero's attitude towards life.
The previous narrative perspective was completely within the scope of the hero's remaining vision. When he learned that he was suddenly paralyzed in bed, unable to speak or move, and lost all mobility except for one eye that could be opened and closed, The world has become completely narrow and blurred to him, and we can only see the hospital ward from his eyes, the pale scenery but not his own appearance, just as he has always refused to admit this crooked mouth. The image of terror is just like himself, and once he has aroused hope of re-existence, when he compares his imprisoned body to a diving bell sinking into the sea, but still alive and leaping memories and thoughts to dancing butterflies. , the perspective of the whole film has changed and broadened a lot - not only the wider whole living environment, but also his sensitive and angry eyes even though he was lying down in a wheelchair.
Although he said in his later autobiography, "My children see their fathers like zombies" through the communication method of the alphabet, he said so helplessly and sadly, but he never refused to truly know himself or hide himself. In the corner of the ward but face it calmly.
In fact, this is the origin and connotation of the film's name, and it also makes me feel that after reading the stories of terminally ill patients, I still feel emotional and shocked.
"I have decided not to feel sorry for myself anymore. Besides my eyes, there are two things that are not paralyzed, my mind...and my memory.
My mind and memory are the only things I can get out of my diving bell. The way.
I can imagine anything, anyone, anywhere, I let the sea wash me on the island of martinique, meeting the woman I love, bowing before Ozym Andias, the king of kings.
I can imagine anything, childhood, I used to dream if I was an adult, now I'm going to remember who I am, handsome, suave, charming, and terribly attractive, yes, handsome and suave that's what some people say, That's not me, that's Marlon Brando, no, that's me."
We may not be truly limited ourselves to the greatest extent possible, but there is no doubt that our minds are also far beyond what we can expect.
This is the meaning of our existence at all times, the core of life.
