The movie will go over his life before the stroke, what he missed etc. and just shows the struggles he faced living. Communicate speak is only a minor way in which dialogue is initiated in the movie. What I liked, is hearing his thoughts while people would interact with him.

What's so great about this movie, is that unlike most movies you will watch and forget about. This will probably be stuck in your head, and make you think about things. That people really take things for granted, having kids and a wife. Not being able to hold them or speak to them.

It's some deep shit.

There's about a mountain of self-struggle movies, most are based off true stories.

Okay, the movie is about some rich magazine editor who drives a sports car, has a stroke and is now paralyzed, and he tells his life story...."Yeah, I got rich, and took pictures for lame nouvelle magazine, but I had a stroke, so it looks like the ride is over, now I gotta communicate by blinking, and think to myself alot..."

Again there is a mountain of movies that make you "think about things" and make you realize you take things for granted. If anything, this movie is just another "I had everything, and it was taken away..." movie.
