The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Read the Book
On PopSense, staff writer Alexandra M. Svokos details the “Top 10 Films That I Watched in 2008.” Included on the list is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, about which he writes:
Don’t stop at the movie either: read the book. You will find more appreciation and love for life in those quick 132 pages than any motivational speaker could ever contrive. And Jean-Dominique Bauby…God…the man could have easily given up and wallow in self-pity but he chose to strive on, to keep trying. Every word was so carefully chosen, each idea entirely thought out. I do not believe it is possible for a more beautiful and perfect work to be created.
