Suicide Club
Wow. That movie was freaky, but also, refreshing- In the sense of- Someone else sees what the fuck is going on and isn't afraid to show us what is really happening.
A bunch of people die, mostly children, young girls, and for what? Why?
Is it posibly because of cirsumstances they are not in control of? Do they really commit suicide, or do others lead them to it?
Lets say that not only in the Japanese Culture, but in the American culture too, that most kids are raised by television. Don't want to have to pay attention to your kid? T.V! Want them to shut up? T.V. Need a babysitter? T.V. So children grow up in front of the t.v, grow up according to the media. Parents don't understand their children. No longer understand innocence. We grow up loosing our connection with ourselves. Grow up not knowing who we are, but nowing what clothes we want to buy, what brand we need for our toilet paper or whatnot. Grow up needing to look like her, or him. So then, once we 'grow up', what do we have to look foreward too?
We do have love, family, children, another life under our wing or to share with to look foreard too.
But that is not enough. We need to be connected also.
People loose their connections with themselves, with eachother, but not with what told them how to grow up. So if the media, letsay, tells us to commit suicide, who's to stop us? What has been our life, our only way of knowing, is telling us what to do.
Dessart, Desert, Dessert, tells us to be connected. So you become connected with others through a skin chain. They tell you that suicide is the in thing, that you will stay connected even through death. So you commit suicide.
But, if you have not been brainwashed, then you will see this message of connection and possibly obey, but yet, you will also know that you are connected with yourself, no one needs to tell you how or why, you just know you are. And if you are connected with yourself, then you love yourself, and see life. YOu do not fall into the brainwashed demands of killing yourself for you know better.
So, I guess the underlying message is- Love yourself. Do not loose that connection with yourself. If you do, you have died. You have failed yourself. Fads can only get you so far. Love yourself enough to know the difference between what you truely want to do, and what everyone is telling you to do.

We'll find life again."
