The article is an attempt to compare the cultural existence of a paralyzed body, captured by various discourses, with the stories that include individual experience of ill people. Beside the anti-war cinema, the article discusses Jacques Derrida’s, Tony Judt’s and Jean-Dominique Bauby’s texts. Following Susan Sontag, the aim of interpretation is to show paralysis as a metaphor – a very important one in our culture – which assembles essential fears of contemporary societies: the phantom of immobilization – inertia, which becomes a disorder, and a damage of a medium, a break of communication.
