Also, Mrs. Chandler thought the manner of death in the latest version was poorly conceived compared to the 1976 version. The Kristofferson character -- bottle of booze in hand -- wiped out in a speeding red Ferrari. The Cooper character hanged himself in the garage.
One was manly, the other cowardly.
Thanks for the warning. Who needs to see a suicide in a movie?
Hanging is associated with guilt. self loathing. But the real Sin here was Ally’s manager encouraging Jack to end it all because he knew he was going to fail and ruin Ally’s career. I was hoping to see a very painful death for him. Like falling into an industrial potato peeler.
