The Bridge

Has anyone seen The Bridge?

This film is haunting me.

I have never had something affect me this way before.

The Bridge is a documentary about people who commit suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. The filmmakers set cameras up and taped shots of the bridge for a year. They caught 23 people actually jumping, 2 people being pulled back and radioed in to police 6 people attempting to jump.

I really don't know if I would recommend for someone to watch this. It sounds interesting, but you are literally watching people die. This isn't like the manufactured Faces of Death. You actually sit and watch these people having their last thought. You are watching someone that is so down, so depressed, so low, so unable to know that tomorrow would be better that they hurl themselves into the ocean. With a splash-their life is over. That person does not exist anymore.

I will say-this movie did reaffirm my faith in God. For those of you who might see this-I won't ruin it. By no means does this have a religious statement behind it, but one particular part really spoke to me. And yes-there is a God who watches and listens to us.

If the purpose of this film is to make you think and realize truth-it succeeded with me. If you do watch-let me know. I am very intersted in what other people have to say.
