I don't think anyone can really appreciate this film unless...


I don't think anyone can really appreciate this film unless they feel or at least felt like William. What I can tell you is... the acting was spot on. Solo's character was spot on. Williams character was spot on. Damn... I know how it feels from Williams perspective... those ppl that keep telling you that you shouldn't do it because... whatever... like they know anything about how you really feel. *beep* I keep contemplating exact same thing. I know I'll eventually do it, I just don't have balls for it. *beep* I already lost everything.But I digress...
Just wanted to make a point, that people watching it most likely associate themselves with Solo, who wants to stop William when Solo even doesn't know why and what for. Williams frustration when Solo goes thru his things was so real... amazing performance.



People are just jealous, because "voices" are talking only to me...

Come on man, why would you say something like that? If he's serious, this is quite troubling. It's people like you who've encouraged people to actually commit suicide. There was a kid a few months back on Justin.tv who was suicidal, people didn't take him seriously and said the exact things you said. Live on justin.tv the poor kid killed them self.

you next

I'll go one step further and say that no one can really appreciate this film unless they've committed suicide.

The point being that a good film, like this one, can be understood on an emotional or logical level by anyone - that's the point, really.

I KNEW IT! Knew b4 reading any more posts that the deleted post must have been "encouragement". I think it is VERY wrong that the administrators edited it. VERY WRONG. This site is based in the US, no!? I think racism, homophobia, etc. are wrong, disgusting even, BUT IF ANYONE HAS THOSE FEELINGS, IT IS BETTER TO LET THEM OUT. Let them have their say. IT IS ONLY WORDS!! CENSORSHIP IS THE MOST DISGUSTING OF ALL "POSTS"! Look, you bad admin person, you guys should censor NOTHING; you must be real psuedo-intellectuals, you know. If someone is there, saying 'I wanna kill myself'; you never know that someone saying '*beep* you, go ahead', will be motivation for or against. Most probably though, it won't make a darn difference. I think the worst thing for raf696 would be for people to ignore him altogether! And legally, saying 'go ahead', could never be what kills or even helps kill someone . . . C'MON.
Sorry you feel that way raf696, life certainly does suck, but suicide would be indicative of the more selfish human side of our natures, (not saying I am 100% immune!). And well, usually, the LESS selfish we live, maybe we don't even find that much more sense in life, however I think we have a better chance to find at least enough to not kill ourselves. You 'lost everything'?? 1) The material losses should mean more freedom, if your mind is open enough, and 2) the people, love; they weren't right for you, even if they were family! And love, my dear friend, if you really are not so selfish, and you can love, really love, BIG love, even if you are uglier than sin and poor - real love/rs have MANY, MANY fishies in the sea for them, trust me . . . (but you gotta be open to change as well! ;)
PS. you identify with WILL!? You MUST be white - also sorry you drew the "emotional short straw" in terms of race, huh.

Gotta love poser, elitist, racists like you, Queer. In one sentence you claim that racism is disgusting and then immediately after insist that the poster must be white because he identifies more with the white character than the black. Sounds like profiling to me, assuming that all whites have to identify with each other. Then to top it off you claim that white people have no emotions, now that's just plain stereotyping racism. I've met many people like you, you represent the main problem with racism in the world today. You go around making false claims of racism, which only stirs the pot, when it is you who is the true racist. I wouldn't be surprised if you were white yourself, and this was all just self loathing racism.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

You know though, there are FAR more pseudo intellectuals (and/or just plain idiots) like you.

Yes, I am racist. Yes I sometimes am a hypocrite. The way you lack self awareness or any particular awareness, you are probably blind to your own hypocrisies.
Did you ever imagine that there is a difference between anti-white or anti-black racism, or does your pea brain continue to block out reality, allowing you to wallow in your quagmire of platitudes? I don't care about you, or a white person who DOES NOT PERPETUATE NEGATIVE EFFECTS WITH THEIR RACISM, I care about where the world is at, right now. What a cool trip to see whites oppressed the way blacks are - I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT, just for a change, mo th r f u k ing ar s e hol e, not for any other reason, not because I "hate whites", simply and boldly I would love it to see a C H A N G E. And of course, I would love to see a class of powerful, racist whites as the object of their own oppressive ACTIONS, (opinion means so little re this subject). Bush, Cheney, even pro-war Democrats AND THEIR CRONIES, and that would include some UGLY arabian ROYALS (also white or very close to), (yes, it would include maybe a few blacks), having to shine shoes on the streets of Baghdad for pennies or simply being exterminated, THAT would be refreshing.
I like to throw whatever shocking contentious comment out there. I already know me, perfectly well, so it's good and (can be very) fun to see how others will relate or react - there is absolutely no other reason, but a loser's reason, to be here, engaging.
You have missed the point, and lorded yourself as some holier than thou, because if I say, "you white *beep* idiot", yet given person comes back with something that proves me wrong, that shows great/er intelligence - I LOVE IT. THAT is why I say things that may be incendiary - and because it is what I believe or maybe just points to what I believe, not just to start a fight.
The big shame here is that the original poster didn't reply, instead this . . . this third party scum wrote completely irrelevant drivel.
What the f * * * is wrong with you. I just re read the post, something I predominantly don't do (I like to focus on replying to the issues raised by a person in the immediate reply and I don't really have the time to do that), but here I was so out of ideas as to what context would have attracted someone as lame as you, the way you are lame. I cannot believe, my post is about censorship, and a strange, extreme reply to a stranger suicidal? person. The white thing has nothing to with anything. I just threw it out there, good on me.

And finally, you really have no clue - "poser, elitist". Let's focus on the first one, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, poser. :) :) You just LOVE that word - even though it says NOTHING, it is YOUR pet projection / hate. And I categorically deny "elitist" - I would probably win a prize at IMDB for replying to EVERY SINGLE reply I get (over time, of course, I put so much passion in, so I can't be that quick). Yes, THAT effort, even if replying to morons without a clue, I also give them the time of day, even when they don't deserve it. I am the least elitist poster on all IMDB. You are just a loser, so your inferiority must drive you to call someone an "elitist" like that.
PS. I can only hope that IF ANYTHING (because nothing is most likely) - I would give the "suicide" guy a shake, and that makes my post 90 something % more probable to do him good than ignoring, or saying nothing or something typical (he's heard all that before, moron). And I am not his or your or anybody's martyr to give him/ her love and understanding or support - if he/ she is a decent person there is a 100% probability of being able to find that in his/ her "real"/ material, world/ environs.
