      On the Golden Gate Bridge, just high in the sky

      "Golden Gate Bridge" documentary footage

      In April 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was completed and opened to the public in May of the same year. To this year, 2017, the full 80th anniversary.

      10 years ago in 2007, Eric Steel's documentary "The Bridge" was released in one year (2004). It did not discuss...

      take a bow

      Is jumping off a bridge to a better world?

      (observed at 10.8, written at 10.9, code at 10.14)

      When I learned about the Golden Gate Bridge film, I saw a tweet about suicide on WeChat. The article was very long. Although it can’t be said that I read it carefully, I finally finished it. It was the National Day holiday, so I wanted to see this film.

      Watching this video was on the motor train from home to school. The weather was sunny that day,...

      reason to wait

      I like smart people very much, and I once thought that after reading a lot of books and becoming smart, I could avoid many misfortunes and be full of positive energy without turning back. However, later found out that there are some things in the world, if you haven't experienced it, then the only thing you know is that you really haven't experienced it. Like orgasm, like depression.

      The film "Golden Gate Bridge" is not top-notch in terms of skills and interviews. You can clearly see...

      those left behind

      The professor told us a statistic about this documentary.
      After the documentary was released, three people decided to commit suicide by jumping off the bridge after watching the film, and they died as a result.
      But in the long run, "The Golden Gate Bridge" prevented about 200 people from jumping off the bridge.

      Then the professor asked, should this documentary appear from the beginning?
      Statistically speaking, this is totally doable. The deaths of three people and the...

      Golden Gate Bridge

      The sky was clear, and two men were sailing windsurfing at sea. People and cars come and go on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. Then an old man jumped over the bridge railing. The strong upward wind blew his hat up, and the old man fell heavily into the sea. The daily calm is broken.

      In 2004, 24 people committed suicide by jumping into the sea on the Golden Gate Bridge. Director Eric Steele and his crew captured real footage on both ends of the bridge. They also...

      Those relatives and friends of the deceased speculate that their mood is the most meaningless part, and no one but themselves knows what they are thinking. But the story of one of the jumped but survivors is well worth listening...

      Everyone has moments of deep despair, and it's easy to end that despair in an instant, but most people don't, because tomorrow is still a new day. Maybe wait a little longer, and the sun will emerge from the cracks in the dark...

      The interviewee here has too many slots... If he waits, he can wait for the interview call for the position he wants / I was born into an abnormal family (but I didn't...) / In this world There are a lot of people who love him, he hurts them/he feels like a loser, it's a compensation - being famous can imagine how arrogant it would be to call a living person to judge a suicide, but it's still disgusting to me, I thought there would be at least one or two people who really treated each other,...

    Movie plot

    While people are suffering tremendously, the world just goes on without knowing it. The Bridge is a documentary exploring why the majestic The Bridge is the world's most popular suicide destination, and those who are drawn to it. Eric Steele and his crew used daylight hours throughout 2004 to film on opposite ends of The Bridge, documenting more than twenty deaths during the year (and preventing several more) ). They also tape-recorded...

    Movie 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."

      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.
