Film Reflection In the “Diving Bell and the Butterfly” 1‚ the incident where I felt the most unease was when Jean-Dominique Bauby’s right eye was stitched closed by his doctor. The scene opens with a close-up shot of the doctor examining and commenting on the condition of Bauby’s eyes. I watched in disbelief as the doctor immediately told Bauby he was going to sew up his right eye without explaining the procedure. The doctor states that this will save Bauby’s “cornea from going septic”2. Perhaps

Esther Greenwood of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and Christopher McClandless of John Kraukaer’s Into the Wild had their own “music” different than societies.

Once the story begins‚ the theme of death is clearly relevant as we enter in the

Bauby was a master of the elements of mind. This is how he was able to write a book with only his left eyelid. If he was not a master of the elements of mind‚ being able to write The Diving Bell and the Butterfly wouldn’t have been possible‚ and I believe this book is why he stayed alive.
