Wow, I must say this movie is hauntingly beautiful. I had read an article about it back when they were wrapping up production, but damn I'm almost moved to tears.

For those of you that have never heard of it, it's a documentary shot about people committing suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. In the time of shooting, the makers of the film caught 23 different people jumping to their deaths and interviewed some of their family and witnesses to get an in depth story of what brought those individuals to take the plunge.

Beautiful cinematography and an absolutely heart wrenching story. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Quote:

The Bridge focuses on the large number of suicides that occur each year at the Golden Gate Bridge, capturing footage of the suicides and interviewing family members. Also interviewed are people who have attempted suicide at the bridge, and witnesses of the suicides.

The movie was shot with multiple cameras pointed at a notorious suicide spot on the bridge during 2004. It captured 19 people as they took their final plunge, and then offers interviews with grieving families.

Yea watched this movie a few months ago. It was pretty incredible. The scene near the end of the long haired guy jumping still sticks with me. Very powerful.

He was the only guy that jumped with any sort of grace and style. He stood up on the rails, threw his hands up and went over straight backwards.

Everyone else did a half assed drop while kicking all the way down.

If you are going to go, at least go with confidence.
