  • Ever Thought of Killing Yourself?

    I've just watched a powerful documentary called "The Bridge," a thoughtful and fascinating meditation on suicides that happened on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is apparently one of the sites in the world where most people are drawn to jump. In 2004, there were 24 suicides off the bridge. The film is composed of interviews from a multiple perspectives of witnesses, family and friends of the victims and even a victim himself who survived.

    The movie affected me deeply because "The Bridge" became a powerful metaphor of the space between the desire to live and to die. And I was no stranger to suicidal psychosis as someone I knew from film school killed himself and one of my exes tried killing himself three times on me.

    "The Bridge" definitely made me think. And if you have every thought of killing yourself, don't miss it...

    And thanks to the tip from Levity, here's a graph from the SF Chronicle that shows where on the bridge the +1000 suicide have taken place,  freaky!

    If you're going to kill yourself, it's worth it to make the drive up to San Francisco, I reckon.  I've been wanting to see this documentary for a while, but nobody ever wants to rent it with me.

    I'm sorry you went through that *hugs* I had an ex who tried killing himself so many times, last time I heard he was institutionalized it was so bad...broke my heart. At 12 I had a suicide attempt... no offense but I'm going to skip that trailer. I'm happy now :)

    I find it strange that so many people are drawn to that bridge whe they consider suicide...

    Have you seen the picture that shows where people have jumped from?

    Well..Since life is already so short ... no point killing yourself...
    I have seen & heard the cries before someone dies...
    I can still remember how the lady screams when she throws herself off the building where I live... .. there comes a loud thud...
