boo hoo I don’t have a flying house, I’m going to kill myself? Hardly the thought of a rational mind. Bleeding idiots, that what I have to say about it.

I don’t admit that often… but I’ve cried watching Titanic… and it was OK reading the 1st paragraph… even interesting… ’till I read the bit about the guy wanting to commit suicide… THAT did it for me…
I am on Anti-depressant drugs at them moment… and THERE IS NO REASON to feel worse by watching Avatar… I LOVED it… it has a couple of sad scenes (not gonna spoil) but it is more about (self)discovery…
GO and see it… then let me know what u thought of it! (fancy writing a guest post??? )

I can understand the idea of feeling so uplifted that reality makes you feel down, but the suicidal thoughts are quite crazy. The setting was pure fantasy, so it’s about as realistic as getting upset because you can’t live in the world of the movie “UP”.

I haven’t seen it yet, but I’d like to.

Wow, that suicide contemplation is extreme, I’ll give you that.

I have not seen Avatar, but when I first started reading your post I was going to come comment about how seeing a sad movie can invite melancholy feelings.

In fact, I read a study years ago suggesting happy women were drawn to sad movies – because women actually physically need “a good cry” every once in a while – it is good for us – and if we don’t have a reason to cry IRL, a sad movie can help with that. I don’t think it was the same for men – but give it a try if you feel up to it!

However, once I read the quote about suicide I will change my tune – my guess is this person was depressed already, and the movie is another outlet in which to focus that depression. Like you said, therapy might be in order for someone who feels that way.

I have seen movies that are SO real feeling that I wake up the next day thinking about them. Like I said, I haven’t seen Avatar, but from what I’ve heard, I could see that being one of those movies. And I could see a previously depressed person feeling drawn to the sad parts of it.

This post makes me really want to see the movie, actually! As I’m not depressed I’m not too worried that it will have negative consequences …
