Why is Edgar (spoiler)
Still in Purgatory/the clinic at the end of the movie? Is it because of his suicide?
they consider suicide as murder for some reason.
shareDoris was in ... whatever this was; let's call it purgatory ... because her suicide caused so much suffering to her family. Edgar is still there at the end either because it caused Maylon to feel guilt and pain (even though it actually saved her from purgatory herself, she still presumably suffered) or because the filmmakers take the conventional Christian view that suicide is a sin.
Or because as another commentator said in a different post, it is not purgatory for him. He is proud of his sacrifice and it makes him feel good to relive it. If you ask him he would probably say there is no where else he would rather be.
sharePurgatory, I don't think was ever described in the Bible. But more than likely it was for lost souls. Those who were bad enough to go to Hell, yet not good enough to go to Heaven.
Apparently the old Lady was some sort of Demon or Devil in charge of the damned in the layer of hell meant for people who murder their loved ones and suicides.
As usual each writer has their own expression of what Hell is. In this case it is some building dormitory that they can't leave from (exception noted) and suffer eternal torment relieving their murders/suicides and having to come tell the other souls what their sins were in life.
I'm not sure if it is possible to escape Hell, but Greek Myths have several examples of people escaping Hades.
In Doris's case, by Edgar going into Doris's personal hell, he was able to meet the real Doris and take her place as a suicide, therefore and absolving her of her sin.
The powers that be considered her penance satisfied and gave her back her life as it was before she committed suicide and gave his wife her life back in his timeline.
The reason is that suicide obviously IS murder, it's not that abstract of a connection. Homicide = murdering someone else. Suicide = murdering yourself.
It's not murder since it's your life to do as you please where as someone else's life is theirs and you have no claim of right to it.
This movie is despicable, liberal propaganda.
You're right, but that is irrelevant. He killed someone (himself) and that's all that is required apparently. They're not drawing any lines in this version of hell. Even when he killed his wife, you could say there was nothing morally wrong with that because she was trying to kill him. But that's not the point, killing = hell.
And your opinion on the movie is irrelevant to the definition of murder or suicide... But it's clear that's coloring your view on it.
Wait...don't you mean conservative propaganda?
The film portrayed suicide as eternally punishable murder, which aligns more with a Christian belief system.
Regardless, I enjoyed the profound messages of empathy, forgiveness, and self-sacrifice.

I bet you are a joy to be around. You sound like a real loser. Seeing conspiracis everywhere. Isn't it the conservative point of view that everyone is a piece of crapaper sinner and deserves to suffer? Think you have your propaganda mixed up. Here's a tip, turn off the tv.
