3º – The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Julian Schnabel, 2007)
The film tells the true story of an editor of a French magazine who, in detriment of a stroke, completely loses the movements of his body, being limited only to the movements of an eye. Irresistible, this film alternates between happy and sad moments, explaining a way of life different from the one to which we are accustomed, always based on a unique sensitivity.
2º – It’s a Wonderful Life (Frank Capra, 1946)
Disillusioned with the ways of his life, a man receives the visit of an angel who will show him what would be the routine of all the people around him if he did not exist. Nurturing a motivational plot from the first to the last scene, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is intelligent, honest and light in every scene transposed to the viewer, relying on the figure of actor James Stewart to give even more weight to the film.
1º – As Good as It Gets (James L. Brooks, 1997)
In the plot, a middle-aged man, wrapped in a routine permeated by psychological disorders, will have the chance to change his unpleasant behavior to meet different figures of a society. ‘As Good as It Gets’ destroys that view that a particular psychopathology limits the life of an individual, bringing a character that changes even though it is affected at all times by obsessive-compulsive disorder. Much of the success of the film is due to the masterful performance of the actor Jack Nicholson.
