A simple movie about a man who discovers that there are a few things that he just must do before kingdom come. He of course needs some help to realize that he should do those. And since those things are diverse enough you ride along unraveling different aspects of his life in particular, but of life in general. The amount is almost tiringly large, but leaves you refreshed. A light and touching movie.

LA Confidential (1997) (6/10)
A fast paced movie (except for a small interval near the middle) where 5 types of cops are shown (with overlaps). How an organization has a life of its own, and how values related to morality etc. generally take a back seat. There are too many twists though. You can follow them as they are mostly linear. For some of them you feel that you should have seen it coming.
Its a bit black and white, but thats understandable. Violent as police movies can be. Not much of LA itself comes in, except for the unique glamour of Hollywood of course.

Le scaphandre et le papillon AKA The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) (6/10)
Last evening as I was walking home I was contemplating about armchair universes and about moving cursors and hopefully even objects with thoughts. Why does one need the body? As my netflix queue was shrinking I looked around and found this French movie which I was able to stream.
It is based on a real story, and in that the story itself is impressive. A man losing all his body except for one eye, and thanks to good care, visionary therapists and a will to lie and generally be good humored about it, he manages to accomplish something which other souls handicapped by having too many things to do, do not.
But it is a story of an individual, and he dwelves in his past, the best he can do. Others can take courage from him that not all is lost when seemingly it is. After choosing to fight for it, it is upto each individual what to actually do. Sometimes too much may depend on those around you though.
