'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'

This is a really, really hard film to watch. It evokes so many emotions and feelings about life, survival and, eventually, death, that it scares you.

It's like sitting in bed and staring at the ceiling thinking about eternity. Oh. Maybe that was just me.

But you watch this film and you wonder what you would do in the similar situation. It would drive me crazy. The fly on your nose. The incessant beep of the television as programming ends in the early morning. Having to communicate at a snail's pace.

If you want to bummed out (they try to make it less sad, but it doesn't help), watch this film. Probably best if you start drinking before hitting "play."

The true upside: Semi-hot French women.
