The Diving Bell And The Butterfly Trailer - 8th Feb - Pathe

Uploaded by patheuk on Nov 7, 2007
On December 8 1995 at 43, Jean-Dominique Bauby, inventive and charismatic editor in chief of the French magazine Elle suffered a massive stroke and his brain stem was rendered inactive, his life was changed forever. After lapsing into a coma, he awoke 20 days later to find himself the victim of locked-in syndrome - mentally alert but a prisoner inside his own body, his only means of communicating with the outside world the blinking of his left eye.
Forced to adjust to this unique perspective, Bauby created a new rich world for looking into himself to find the only two things that weren't paralyzed, his imagination and his memory. At The Maritime Hospital in Berck-Sur-Mer, in Nord Pas de Calais France he was taught an alphabet, a code in the order of the most frequently used letters in the French alphabet. Letter by letter, painstakingly words, sentences and paragraphs tell the story of a profound adventure into the human psyche and into the battle between life and death. This alphabet unlocked the prison of Jean-Dominique's body which he called his Diving Bell and travelled the borderless regions of freedom that he called The Butterfly. Released in cinemas by Pathe on 8th February 2008.

I'm Still Here by Tom Waits
-
Anybody know the song that plays in the second half?
-
I hope they learn the next locked-in patient to communicate in MORSE. Without that stupid "Char" figure he would had finished his book much quicker. This makes me really angry.
-
cant believe i had to read the whole way through the movie!!!
-
The Tom Waites song is absolutely heartbreaking here.
-
You may be interested in my song "I Am Still The Same" which is about a person with locked-in syndrome. There's a new video for it on my channel.
