The Bridge

Very depressing movie... But it was worth a look.

"People suffer largely unnoticed while the rest of the world goes about its business. This is a documentary exploration of the mythic beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, the most popular suicide destination in the world, and those drawn by its call. Steel and his crew filmed the bridge during daylight hours from two separate locations for all of 2004, recording most of the two dozen deaths in that year (and preventing several others). They also taped interviews with friends, families and witnesses, who recount in sorrowful detail stories of struggles with depression, substance abuse and mental illness. Raises questions about suicide, mental illness and civic responsibility as well as the filmmaker's relationship to his fraught and complicated material"

 

I thought it was interesting though

I rented that one a couple weeks ago. GREAT first date movie!

 

That's why I love it here: you're a load of sickos. And I mean that in a good way

 

I see what you did here... Get the girl to be emotional and BAM, you are there to help her out...

 

Kinda sad. Amazing how some people were "ok" with the suicide of the guy with the long hair.
