However, it does not disappoint, the film perfectly expresses the feeling in the book "the body is heavy like a diving bell, but the heart longs to fly freely like a butterfly". From the very beginning of the lens with constantly changing focal lengths, light and shadow shaking, the director began to let people observe, think, and imagine through a person's left eye... The picture of the film is pure and flawless, and the fusion of light and shadow is natural and smooth, like a sound. Pictures, it turns out that you can see such a beautiful world with only one eye. When Bauby sits in a wheelchair and faces the sea, even if there is no sound, it seems that he can feel the expression of his boundless thinking and imagination. The interludes of several memories in the film are also natural and sincere, including the psychedelic taste of the hard photo scene with a strong industrial atmosphere when Bauby was working at the beginning, and the natural expression of Bauby's family shaving for his father later. Smooth and excellent.
In fact, when I see Bauby in the film, I always think of Ramon, the protagonist in "Eternal Sleep". Ramon would imagine himself getting out of bed freely, flying over the window of his room, over fields, forests, mountains, over the sea, and the sea is endless and there is no camera. So is Bauby, his mind is a butterfly that emerges from a cocoon, flying to any corner of the world to witness the calving of glaciers. It seems that people who are physically bound are always full of inspiration. Ramon uses his mouth to hold a pen to write poems about death; Bauby uses his left eyelid to write a part of his life. In addition, just like Ramon's intention to indulge in the shallow sea in "Sleep in the Deep", there are also flashes of Bauby trapped in the diving bell in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", reminding us that his body is not free. However, this just highlights the beauty of human thinking and the profound spirituality. It's just that Ramon chose to die, Bauby may have thought so, but then he faced everything with a more open-minded and cherished attitude.
To be or not to be, is there a key in the universe that unlocks the diving bell when the individual is incapable of making that choice? Is there a subway with no end? Which strong currency can buy back freedom? Should look elsewhere. go, look for it.
The collapsed iceberg is restored in the form of playback, can it really be recovered that has been destroyed? Or just stay on the outskirts trails surrounded by the soundtrack in The 400 Blows?
