Run time : , 1 hr. 54min.
Director : Julian Schnabel
Paragraph 1 :
For about first 20 minutes, all
that the screen shows us is small circular world that is being seen from Jean-Dominic
Bauby’s eyes. If you manage to keep the film run throughout this stifling
scene, you may empathy Bauby’s status that he has diagnosed an locked-in
syndrome.
Paragraph 2 :
The reviewer gives his final impression as a
discomforting but inspiring struggle for one enduring. Bauby, the editor of
French Elle , struggles to communicate and connect with the outer world through
not his uncomfortable ‘eye’, but mind’s eye. The ocular activity make him being
able to write his own story by blink eyes for one year and 3 months, six hours
a day. As the frequency of blink is getting slowed down, the blackout of his
consciousness is getting to leave.
This film is very visual because the only
window connecting between world and Bauby is his eye that shows what he sees. Director
uses his skill as a painter to assemble a collage of fantastical images to
reveal the exquisite physical wreck that Bauby has become.
Paragraph 4 :
This film is completely
based on true-life story. The reviewer states, “perfectly blends the tragic
with the triumphant.” He inspires you to flash back your life and tell us how
to embrace what we are facing now.

Such. an. awesome. movie. And book.
I'm having some trouble following this. It needs a bit of editing. It appears there's quite a bit of summary of the film itself here and just a few mentions of the review as opposed to a paragraph by paragraph analysis.
Do you want to take another stab at it?
