let those who want to die die

After watching this film, I think the Golden Gate Bridge is worth jumping. Whether you want to commit suicide or not, I really want to investigate.
The long-haired man in black in the film is the main line. He also had a great attitude before he died. The other jumpers were either hasty or hesitant, at least they climbed over the low railings and took a look at the sea below them. After the black man walked back and forth on the bridge a few times, he sat back on the railing. The three or five tourists around him didn't notice anything either. Then he braced his hands, stood up neatly on the railing, leaned back, and fell straight down, very simply. Like a black helicopter, his body spread its arms in the air and then fell into the sea. I replayed this clip several times, the cold sea, and a flock of seabirds flying over after he fell, just like a movie. The Golden Gate Bridge in the mist does have the taste of the entrance to heaven.
As for the recollection of the deceased and the humanistic care, I have no intention to say much. A bystander said, "Her hesitation before the jump made me feel that she needs help." The bystander can see at a glance whether the person standing in front of death is seeking life or death. And those who are determined to die do not need extra voices.

The Bridge quotes

  • Witness: [after witnessing a suicide] When I talked to the highway patrolman, I asked him "Is this a rare occurrence or does this happen a lot?" And he looked and me and he sort of smiled and he said, "It happens all the time."

  • [Last lines]

    Caroline Pressley - Gene's Friend, South San Francisco, CA: I don't know why people kill themselves. And yet, it's a small step to empathize... to say... well, because I think we all experience moments of despair. That, ah, it would be so much easier not to do this anymore. But for most of us, the sun comes out, and then "Oh well, Tomorrow is another day". Why he chose the Bridge? I don't know. Maybe there was a certain amount of release from pain, by pain. Maybe he just wanted to fly one time.
