With this, Jean-Do can now communicate with people and this is here where the film starts to tug at the viewer's heartstrings as it shows his friends and family coming to terms with Jean-Do’s illness. Jean-Do is then helped by therapists to try and enable him to communicate some how the method they select by reciting the alphabet and Jean-Do chooses a letter by blinking. The film then plays out in a non-linear style taking moments from his life before his accident to him remembering them in the hospital. Jean-Do is then informed that he is suffering from ‘locked-in syndrome’ causing him to be permanently paralyzed. He speaks out in confusion but it is revealed that no one can hear him and that he also has no control over his body apart from his left eye. The film begins with Jean-Dominique Bauby, Jean-Do (Mathieu Amalric), waking up from a coma in a hospital after a devastating stroke. The film captures the emotions and the hardship Bauby goes through perfectly, so brace yourself for the emotional rollercoaster of Jean-Dominique Bauby story adapted by director Julian Schnabel. The Diving Bell And The Butterfly is based on a true story from the memoir, of the same title, by Jean-Dominique Bauby.
