Diving Bell was one of those movies that I have been aware of for a long time and in that time I knew people kept telling me to watch it and I was taking this good advice and doing nothing with it. To be honest I didn't really know anything about it apart from the fact that it was in French. I am not the kind of person who won't watch a movie because it is in a foreign language and in fact some of my favourite movies are not in English but because people were telling me to watch it coupled with the fact that it was in French I thought it was going to be one of those arty movies that you pretend to like to the people who recommended them to you in fear of seeming stupid if you don't but really didn't get and when it comes down to it just didn't enjoy.
There is a wonderful scene where the son is shaving his father and they are talking about menial things but you know this is a memory of a man who can no longer say his own name and it means so much more for it.
There is so much I could say about this movie but it is so much a visual piece that it is almost pointless. It should simple be watched.
