Shooting or saving lives? This problem has been encountered more than once, and "The Hungry Sudan" filmmaker Kevin Carter has been criticized for it, and it is rumored that he even committed suicide (suicide again!).
It's a movie about death that guides people. The Golden Gate Bridge is so spectacular and beautiful. It's better to die here. It's the same movie that tells people how hard life is, and it's easy to die, but people should " Wait a minute", maybe the best view is in the back.
Is the death being watched a wake-up call or a desecration of the dead?
Is it just let him go or do something? (The doubts of the interviewees in the film are also our doubts)
Is it to maintain the natural beauty, or to install layers of protection?
Is life good or bad for a person? Is it right or wrong not to let those who want to die die?
In fact, if you have seen the movie, you will know that from a technical point of view, "Golden Gate Bridge" is not at all brilliant. Maybe it's the location where the camera is set up, so the picture can't reach the look and feel we used to enjoy documentaries. Moreover, from the time the suicide was filmed until the suicide was thrown into the water, even if someone stared at the monitor for 24 hours, it might be too late.
Of course, on the other hand, the movie wouldn't exist without people going to the Golden Gate Bridge to commit suicide. So the documentary has preset a field, like an open net, waiting for the chicken to be caught. From this point of view, it is indeed cruel, inhumane, and inhumane. For the deceased himself, his self-chosen "death" is artificially packaged as a performance by others. Death has already caused the survivors to suffer, and they have to work hard to protect the dignity of the deceased afterwards. Therefore, from the filming to the release of "Golden Gate Bridge", it is to be expected.
However, Eric Steel is a man of courage. Some things will indeed lead to criticism, "right and wrong" is not clear, but if you don't do it, you will never know the result - "Golden Gate Bridge" to three people who want to commit suicide to choose the Golden Gate Bridge as the end of their lives, But it also inspired more than 200 people and gave them the courage to live.
Three to two hundred, in terms of numbers, the significance of "The Golden Gate Bridge" is self-evident, but, for the families of those three people, the pain is 100%, they hate this movie, it is understandable— - People will hate death involuntarily, but, in fact, this is the way back for all people, but many people turn a blind eye to it.
The dead gain a sense of peace, and all this is just the exploration of the living. Humans have been curious about "death" since ancient times. Between life and death, there is a door that opens and closes. The person on the other side of the door will not tell the person on the side of the door what kind of experience "death" is. It is precisely because of its "mysterious", "overbearing" and "unknowable" that human beings have never experienced death for thousands of years. Abandoned the exploration of "death".
Of all the forms of death, "suicide" is the most unknowable. According to common sense, people can't wait to "borrow another five hundred years from the sky", but why do some people end their lives in a hurry when they have a good time?
Maybe you think suicide is a kind of performance art. After all, the suicides shown to us in film and television dramas are more romantic. In fact, each of the 24 people who ended up on the Golden Gate Bridge (2004) had their own way of dying. Someone came hurriedly and hurriedly climbed on the railing, completely ignoring the image after being bruised and falling, like a dead fat water bird being thrown into the water heavily. Some people will patrol the bridge, think, and even involve the posture of falling into the water; some people will look for a special Luoshui point, and some people will fly freely like a gorgeous bird... Death is so different from death, although, the terminal Are the same.
Let a group of people who may not understand you when you are alive interpret you after you are dead. Many people think that Eric Steel is doing this just to make up for the 90 minutes. However, stripped of the film, aren't those of us living thinking about "death"? What if they understand or not? Just as you can understand or not understand, it is no longer important to the deceased. What is important is that when you are in close contact with "death", when people around you try to end their lives in this way, what are you thinking? ? What do you think about "death"? What regrets do you have and what do you want to say to those who want to take their own lives?
Gene, you hurt me! In the film, the little black brother said to the camera. How many families of suicidal people hate them, but they don't care about the dead. The people have passed away. They can only hide such anger and pain in their hearts, Gene, maybe you will get a good position after waiting? How many family members and friends are full of regrets, maybe just wait and life will be different.
However, have the lives of those who hesitated to be rescued from the railings have been substantially changed? Evan committed suicide three times, saying he wanted to go back to the past, but it was impossible. Sometimes, some people don't understand others, and those who don't understand others think they understand the world. Isn't life just eating, drinking, sleeping, others can live, why can't you? You already have a lot, why are you still not satisfied? For those who want to commit suicide, perhaps it comes from the self-righteous understanding of "normal people", and the pressure of not being understood but not being harsh is what they are eager to escape.
So, since I love you, does it allow you to choose the "freedom" you want, or do you do something to stop you from fulfilling this potentially harmful behavior? All wobbly, this question will not have an answer and never will be. One of Gene's friends chose to respect his choice-since he didn't belong here, he was only alive because he was needed, then, really, one day, please say "goodbye" before leaving. This is the most touching farewell and the most dignified death. Although some people were deeply hurt by this, when they were alive, some people understood that such behavior was forgiven. For Gene, it has to be said that it is a kind of luck. Therefore, his departure is the most beautiful, "he just wants to fly". Life, if it ends here, may also be a kind of consummation.
Stop berating parents and lovers of those who commit suicide. Like giving up blaming the suicides themselves.
"Others will say, what poor parents we are." People can't be demanding to understand everything in this world, even if they are close relatives, maybe you still can't understand him. The water on the Golden Gate Bridge is still calm, a beautiful place, and Sharon took a lot of pictures, and he was hooked, "I'm not good enough, but I don't think I'm a bad mother."
Maybe, they'll get Peace, freedom and love.
Humans are complex animals, even hugs are not necessarily warm.
Recalling "All the time", Woolf hurried out of the house to commit suicide, in order to achieve what she wanted, she even put a stone on the list. "I've been struggling alone in the dark for a long time, only I can understand my condition, only I will know."
Don't say they didn't try, but some gave up and some were defeated.
When we understand the pain of those people, we can understand "tomorrow is another day" better. It is not difficult to die, what is difficult is to experience the pain and try to watch the rising of the sun tomorrow. This is the most inspiring force. Understand death and be kind to life.
