Director: Julian Schnabel

The diving bell and the butterfly is a movie that involves you so much that till the very end you feel like involved in the movie. The direction is excellent, the frames and the background are chosen perfectly. A very dull theme has been chosen which goes with the movie story. The story of the movie is very touchy and it makes you feel that you are in it. It is a real story of a very normal person and it shows how life of a human can change in a matter of few minutes.
Not to forget the acting of the lead actor who is acting as a paralyzed person in the movie. His acting is so natural that you really feel that he is paralyzed. The cast is superb, the scenes that show the father and son are very real and show the importance of acceptance of father for son, which is carried down to his own children. The director let's you understand, just a bit, the world from the paralyzed person’s point of view. This film deserves all the praise that it has received in a story which is emotional
It is amazing how the director has shown the story to the viewers. All the cast has acted wonderfully well making it a masterpiece. It is a must watch for all. We should all appreciate the director for delivering this story to the screen. Although I did not understand what they were speaking but only reading the subtitles involved me so much in the movie that I wanted to watch the movie till the very end. The director with the help of all the team has justified the story with excellent video shooting and lighting.
