is similar to playing a person who wound up with "locked in" syndrome and managed to write a book by blinking one eye?

And I'm curious... lets say it had been true that they were similarly themed... why would that make TDBATB "not promising"?

I'm not a fan of the tragic theme-d films, the emotionally disturbed, the terminally ill, the cognitively challenged.
Dustin Hoffman began almost a genre with "Rainman."
Suddenly, we had DeNiro, Penn, and others stuttering, stammering, groping their way towards the Oscar Grail.
A noble fight against a personal tragedy.
I'd like to see someone that just gives up.
Period.

At least it would have the flavor of novelty.
