did he really want to commit suicide near the end?


Because it looked really like it, or it is just me that feel this way?

What movie did you watch? What suicide? Are we talking about My Life on Ice???

reply

Yes I also thought it. For a moment there was the possibility for suicide cause he felt very lonely and it was right after his friend had this very negative reaction for his outing. So yeah you could sense there was the possibility for it.

I'm assuming he was thinking about it when he was standing on the cliffs.

It had that feel about it--the cliff--the camera at a distance--then the other guy came along and 'redeemed' him (and took him to bed).

reply

He was compared to his dead father (or was it step father?). I think that he uhm, felt a connection there, to the life of his dead father and was sort of there because uhhmm, processing whatever it was that had brought him to kill himself and feeling similar feelings, trying to decide if it was so.

reply

Definitely. Depressed, the cliff, everything. He was at least thinking about it.

reply

It was also prefigured in his grandmother's conversation about another young man who fell off the cliff face and about whom it was rumoured he had committed suicide.
