[dba-Tech] OT: I Didn't Make this Up

To elevate the tone of this thread somewhat, has anyone seen "The Diving
Bell and the Butterfly", based on a true story of an editor of Elle
magazine, who suffered a stroke and then, unable to move anything but one
eyelid, wrote a book about his life and his stroke and the subsequent
events? It was directed by Julian Shnabel, also famous for his paintings,
and IMHO stands as perhaps the greatest movie ever made. It has nothing at
all to do with sex with animals, but rather "one baa for yes, two for no".
His nurses and therapists presented him with a slate of the alphabet, but
not in alphabetic order, but rather in order of frequency of use.

Not only is the story itself remarkable, but the filming of it is utterly
extraordinary. I've seen thousands of films, I've even studied the history
of film when in university, and seen thousands of films since. This one is
IMHO a masterpiece.
