This is Jean Dominique Bobby's narration in "Diving Bell and Butterflies". "Diving Bell and Butterflies", what a romantic name. Before I understood this story, I had a lot of beautiful dreams about this name. However, in front of this true story, in front of Bobby's flying and dancing soul, our ordinary people's imaginations seem immature and pale, no matter how colorful it looks.
In 1995, Jean Dominique Bobby was also the editor-in-chief of the French fashion magazine Elle. He was handsome, cheerful, talkative, and passionate about life. However, at the end of the year, the 44-year-old suddenly suffered a brainstem stroke and was paralyzed all over, leaving only his left eye to function. He can hear, understand, and remember, but he cannot speak. The diving bell is the punishment for trapping prisoners in the giant bell and drowning in the deep sea in the Middle Ages, just like a body imprisoned by life on a sick bed; the butterfly symbolizes the soul that always flutters its wings and yearns for freedom. With the help of relatives and friends, Bobby used a system developed by a speech therapist to write this immortal memoir letter by letter.
Trapped in a wheelchair, he still optimistically imagined that he could eat oysters, kiss beautiful women, and his thoughts would fly freely like a butterfly...On the 10th day after the book was published, Bobby passed away, but he said The power of dreams and thoughts surpassed his form and his own life. Because each of us will have a day to face illness and death, Bobby’s story tells us that as long as we understand it carefully, we will discover the truth and beauty of life.
The film has undergone a great adaptation of the original work. Due to the unity of the original description of the person, it is difficult to achieve shooting with the traditional direct adaptation method. Fortunately, the guide tube of the film fell into the hands of Julian Schnabel, who was a painter. As a representative of the "New Expressionism" movement with Andy Warhol and the backbone of the international art world, Julian Schnabel’s obsession with editing and an aesthetic perspective from the painter’s point of view make the filming capable With a strong sense of beauty, the movies under his hands are like pictures with sound. In the end, Julian Schnabel played his artistic talent almost perfectly, reproducing the splendid and colorful spiritual world of the hero Bobby with his artistically beautiful sound and painting. Julian Schnabel also won two "Best Director Awards" at last year's Cannes Film Festival and this year's Golden Globe Awards for this film. He successfully crossed the border from a famous painter to a well-known director.
