The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

[Apache]

Next time you're having a really bad day, stop your moaning, it could be MUCH worse!

I read the book years ago, and watched the film tonight. Makes you think...

Too right, really gives you pause for thought that film.

My sister recommended it to me then lent me the book. As she handed me the book I asked her if it was good. She said without a trace of irony 'it's good, but a bit short.'

Never heard of the book or the film!?


Whats it about?

[Apache]

Google it. Hard to explain. You need to see / read it really.

I dont really do squeamish but the doctors making sure his eyeball didn't dry out made my toes curl

[RodLeach]

Wow..

Just did a lil read up and saw the trailer on youtube..


Im not sure i could handle watching the film or reading the book. Seems like a very emotional piece and one that focuses on something that i'd describe as being truly awful.


My cousin is doing a skydive for Motor neurone disease which leaves the person in a 'locked-in' state.. I'll dig the link out if anyone fancies donating to something to try and help those suffering with something so truly horrible.

Whats it about?

It's a riddle......
What would happen if a butterfly was in a diving bell with wheels on it, four fathoms down in the Pacific ocean, on a conveyor belt. Would the butterfly be able to fly?
