"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"

I recently saw this movie called "The Diving Bell and butterfly" by the director Julain Schnabel. The movie took me by surprise and I haven't seen a movie like this one in a long time. The movie was about a man who use to work for Elle magazine in France had recently suffer from a massive stroke. He couldn't move any part of his body due to this and he could only see through one eye. The only way of him communicating was through a sort of blinking method. What he did was blink twice for yes and once for no. The doctors a therapist would recite a series of letters from the alphabet until he would blink twice for the letter and make words in that matter. The movie was completely in french but I still fell the pain that he was going through.
