The Bridge

Just finished watching 'The Bridge. ' It's poignant, disturbing, strangely heartwarming and definitly hard to watch.

You get to know these people through their family testimonials. You sympathize and in my case even empathize with them. You want to help but at the same time you know that the leap off the bridge is looming and you know you will see it, it will be shoved in your face as a period to the end of the sentence no matter what was said by anyone.

Watch this film, take what you will from it but I know I'll never see the Golden Gate Bridge on a postcard or on TV, and not think of the troubled souls who plunge from it as a final end to whatever has been slowly killing them already.
