Have you ever seen the movie “Wristcutters?” It was a little independent film years ago that starts off really dark but by the end turns very optimistic. It’s about a sort of Limbo that suicides go to…the main character, Zia, has killed himself by cutting his wrists and wakes up to find himself in a place that is “just like real life, only worse.” The movie then evolves into a Buddy road trip theme where he travels with other suicides to try to find his ex-girlfriend, who has also “offed.” On the way, they pick up a hitch hiker, Mikal, who is trying to find The PIC (People in Charge) to inform them that she is here by mistake because her heroine overdose was accidental.
yes, the movie misses opportunities to talk about the effect such a selfish act has on those left behind, but it focuses on these extremely narcissistic characters who start to come to realizations by the end. Plus, Tom Waits has a cameo and the music is by Gogol Bordello. It drives home the point that the Hell we experience in real life is all a creation of the mind.
Thanks- I never saw the movie- Sounds like a great subject for a movie though- certainly a unique story-
