The Diving Bell and Butterfly Reaction
T. Cooper
The film The Diving Bell and Butterfly was a very
interesting and different film about a man who had a stroke and is diagnosed
with locked in syndrome. Through the film we can hear the man speak but none of
the doctors or nurses can, this frustrates the man as he becomes bitter and
questions what is being done to him. I found the film to be very drawing. I
couldn’t help but put myself in the mans place and feel what it would feel like
to be imprisoned in ones body. We could
see what the man was seeing and hear what he is saying. The POV shots made it
easier to pretend like you were the person the experience was happening to. The
use of the sound of the mans breathing also added tension to what was happening
and drew more emotion in my opinion. Over all I enjoyed the film
