The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, directed by Julian Schnabel, was a truly inspiring film for me. It was a film that made me think that life shouldn’t be all about work and stress but it should be about enjoying it and living it to the fullest because we don’t know what the future stores for us. Jean Do was a man who lived a very comfortable lifestyle but he had many regrets in his life. After having the stroke and only able to control his left eye, Jean Do could not make amends with his love ones that he hurt.
What I find so inspiring about this film is that Jean Do had the determination to go on even when all progress seem impossible. With only the blink of his left eye, Jean Do wrote a book about his life with locked in syndrome. I feel that this film motivates us to never give up even when life throws something hard at us. It makes us think what we would do if we were in Jean Do’s shoes.
Overall this film was a different (in a good way) experience for me. It made me think about the things I take for granted. I would highly recommend this film to anyone.
