This is reminiscent of Helen Keller, Zhang Haidi, Shi Tiesheng and Zhou Yunpeng, but because of my disgust for an overly obvious motivational behavior rising into ideological education, I prefer to accept a more personal sublimation , Like Shi Tiesheng, Zhou Yunpeng is also a person who realized that being disabled is a kind of fate. He said that blindness is a door, only open to him. I'm blind, you can see, these two kinds of life, each has its own destiny, each has its own limitations, and each has its own advantages. It is an experience, and it is impossible to have both at the same time. How much of this feeling is helpless and self-comforting, I don't know, but I would rather believe that this feeling is real and sincere, even though no one wants to take the initiative to experience that way of life, however, accidental life cannot guarantee a certain One day, something we don't want to face floods us like a tidal wave. Whether we follow or be dragged depends only on whether we are ready.
Director Schnabel said: "The story is established for everyone, because everyone will face disease and death one day, but as long as we savor carefully, we will find the meaning and beauty of life." This is a highly The stylized film, full of subjective shots and the interweaving of fantasy and real scenes, is full of expressionist streams of consciousness and metaphors, as well as actors mumbling from beginning to end, making audiences accustomed to traditional Hollywood narrative movies Some people are discouraged. The story has no so-called cause and climax. It is just a visit and fantasy of a person's past life before he is about to die. The protagonist Bobby suffers from autism and can only move his left eye. The only way to communicate with the outside world, although this life makes him feel like a diving bell submerged in water, unable to move, in the dark underwater world, no light, no communication, no meaning, and on the other hand he also The preserved memory and imagination opened up another world for him, as colorful as butterflies, giving this vegetative life, which is more painful than death, a touch of color. This freedom of thinking allows him to experience a kind of dissolution of suffering that is still like a normal person, which is reminiscent of Fellini's "Eight and a Half", when reality becomes chaotic, memory and fantasy It has become a place of mediation and reconciliation. In this soil, the women who once loved and the children who represent the continuation of life are gathered here, becoming a bridge from this world to the other side.
If the director has a little religious feelings, then he will let the protagonist Bobby take a step forward to think about religious redemption, which is only a passing in the movie, and from the point of view of grace, Bobby's this If a sudden illness cannot find a reasonable basis from the actual pathology, it can only be attributed to the withdrawal of God's grace and the advent of another grace in suffering. In "The Biography of Mozart", Sani El has no way of understanding why Mozart can play music like nature when he created it at will, but he is still only a craftsman who can't compare with it, then in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", it may be another form of grace. It is a form of experiencing the meaning of life and the beauty of life in the midst of suffering. Is this method of redemption of the soul through the loss of the body too cruel? I don’t think anyone can give an answer. Individuals who are carried away by the torrent of fate are powerless to fight back when faced with accidents.
Perhaps this kind of disaster and disease has become the door to all wonders.
