We had to watch the movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I got to say I really liked it!! It was really interesting and sad! The poor guy cant move or say anything. He is a vegetable. And yet his imagination is his way out.
I dont really understand the title but the movie is what really matters to me not the title. Another thing i love about the movie is that it is a true story and how Mr. Bauby wrote his story while he all messed up!!
:]
Oh well we finished watching the movie! I still think its really good! I found out what the title means! yay! hahaha. I think the symbolism behind the butterfly is that he feels like he is being reborn and growing, and the symbolism behind the diving bell is that, that is what they would call the people who would go underwater. while he was doing that he had his stroke.
Another cool thing is that the movie goes in reverse. It goes from him having a seisure to him having a stroke. And he had had the stroke first. The director, Julian Shnabel, did a great job making this movie!
I love this movie also. It's so good! I think there's something in the movie that will reveal why the movie is called what it is. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
