Chris and I watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly last night and I have to say, it was much more than I had expected. A very moving movie. The direction is profound, to say the least. It’s in first person throughout most of the movie so it gives you the sense of what Jean-Do is really going through. It’s probably the most inspiring and motivational film I’ve seen in awhile. It really makes you feel grateful for what you have and makes all the little grudges you hold inside seem inane. Jean-Do was an extraordinary man and this film reassured me that no matter what life throws at you, you’re capable of anything.

I’m looking forward to reading the book now.
