Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

hellholehorror This really was not a nice film. The story behind it is rubbish and the images in the film are not that brutal but the overall idea is truly brutal and shocking. Some scenes are really hard to handle. This comes about from the amateurish realism of the way that the film is shot. But this is also its major let-down – it is too amateurish. Not a very original idea and there is almost no production value this film gets its shock value from the brutal yet non-graphic death scenes. It is hard to think how anyone survived this film. Not a nice film at all.

HumanoidOfFlesh A young,ambitious director of photography and his girlfriend want to be famous.They decide to document suicides and sell the resulting footage to the highest bidder.However the photographer soon wants to quit this unwholesome activity,because he doesn't believe the suicide films they shoot are realistic and visually exciting.His girlfriend refuses to quit, and persuades him to continue by soliciting business for their fledgling company on the internet."Suicide" is an emotionally disturbing film.The suicide scenes presented here are truly depressing and painful to watch.Of particular note is one guy who slashes his wrists–it looks painfully real.The film is stylish and very well-acted.The concept is very interesting,but as a whole "Suicide" is utterly downbeat and bleak.Give this film a look,if you can stomach it.9 out of 10.

welpe ! ! ! Watch out! Spoilers! ! !There are two sorts of German amateur movies. The gory "funny" ones, and the ones who want to tell something, who are critical of society."Suicide", I guess, also wants to tell something. But unfortunately it mumbles in that way.. you don't understand the message.The film starts interesting, a couple follows a guy with a camera. The guy wants to jump off a building but can't do it in the end. He starts crying and runs away from the camera.. Since his life is really at the end he slips and falls off... I guess he didn't have the right shoes.The rest of the film we see alternately the couple driving in their car to the next "death session" while they talk about it, and the killings of many people in different variations. We've got a junk with an overdose, a guy who stabs himself (DON'T watch the "acting" here or you start crying!), a shooting guy, a heart attack and angst girls who swallow pills. As a "plot turn" the neutral camera man starts killing one guy... anyway it doesn't have any effect to the story.Sounds interesting so far? Then you like my description but not that film! The end "joke" is a real/faked killing. The girl (of the couple) drives her neutral camera man to death (she tells him she fakes it, so he can be official dead, cause he killed somebody..).The plot, well, the idea is sort of nice although the joke of the documentary-style is kind of strained. We see people talking to the camera how shitty the world is and they want to end it and more then one time after they tried to kill themselves they regret it. One or two times this can be nice, but not for feature length! We see characters and we (and in that point the film is very realistic) just don't care about them, cause they're losers from the street. Everyday faces without a background. This leads to a numb feeling and after 2 kills the viewer's only interest is the kind of the next killing.The actors, ha, OK it is an amateur production and nobody can expect high acting skills, but here it seems that the neighbor boys and girls helped out. Unfortunately this is not enough to make the film believable."Suicide" could have been a great short film! I'm pro amateur production with a good idea and motivated makers. But to stretch a good idea to feature length can it make boring. It's a pity for "Suicide".

jpilkonis The appeal of "reality television" is, on the surface, easily explainable: there's an undeniable intensity to any viewing experience where the viewer can't tell himself, "it's only a movie" (or TV show). It ups the ante for the viewer, and is infinitely more compelling. Since this intensification is applied across the board, its presence in television is a match made in heaven, since it allows lazy producers to present half-baked contents and still make them effective.This movie eschews the aforementioned ineptitudes and presents an already compelling topic and cranks up the intensity meter almost past the level of endurance. The "Blair Witch" way in which this film is presented - is it real, or isn't it? - is brilliantly done and genuinely convincing, and the first viewing of this movie, particularly if the viewer is unfamiliar with any of the production details, can be harrowing. To our mind, this really is happening on the screen.And here's the spoiler which sums up the way the movie affected me personally: All through my first viewing, I couldn't get it out of my head that this all could be the real thing flickering on my screen. This movie never "blinks," it never tips its hand to let you in on a camera trick, or a jump cut...until the very end.The very last scene, where the filmmaker himself seems to get murdered by his partner, looks as real as all which has come before it. Unless, that is, you focus your eyes on the trees in the background, and you see the tiniest jump of the leaves where the real footage and the fake death were masterfully spliced together. Watch for it, and instead of seeming like a flaw, you realize just how brilliant the cutting was.However, considering that, immediately before this scene, the two filmmakers are discussing faking the death in that exact way, it still doesn't represent a break in the film's veracity. Masterful. Really masterful.This isn't a fun film. But it's a film you won't soon forget, either.
