The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an Academy Award nominated 2007 film
directed by Julian Schnabel. It is based on the French memoir Le Scaphandre et le
Papillon by Jean-Dominique Bauby.

The film describes Bauby's life after suffering a massive stroke at the age of 43,
which left him with a condition known as locked-in syndrome. The condition
paralyzed him; his only remaining means of communication was the blinking of his
left eyelid. The film premiered in competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival on
May 22, where Schnabel won, two weeks later, the Award for Best Director.

The Kite Runner



The Kite Runner is a 2007 Academy Award-nominated
film directed by Marc Forster based on the novel of the same
name by Khaled Hosseini. Though most of the film is set in Afghanistan

The plot of the movie follows that of the novel. It tells the story of Amir,
a well-to-do boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by
the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara
servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of
the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of
refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime.
