The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

I watched this movie today, based on a true story about the editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, some french dude named Jean-Dominique Bauby. He has a stroke and can no longer speak. He ends up writing a book based on blinking his eye when the each letter of the word is spoken by a scribe. It was ridiculous that someone could have the patience to write a book that way. The movie shows you through his eyes how it feels to awake from a stroke and can't speak. Pretty decent movie, I had never seen a film that captured the feelings of confusion and disorientation so well (although it was making me a little lightheaded to watch for awhile). Thanks to Elyse for the recommendation.
