This has to be one of my top ten films.
Speaking for myself, I related so much to Jesse it was scary. I myself have suffered from suicidal depression for years and I just hang on day by day wondering why I am still here? I am right now in the exact same situation Jesse was in in the film, my Mother lives with me and my story follows the film well. If I'd only known years ago when I saw the film I would be in Jesse's shoes later on in life.
My Mother is really all that is keeping me here for right now, I just can't seem to do anything until she is gone. I know that sounds horrible to someone that has no idea and probably never will know how I feel and I understand that. It is a constant sense of helplessness, nothing more to look forward to and of not belonging here that drives my thoughts on a daily basis.
I am not a coward or afraid to die, far from it. I just can't leave my Mother behind like Jesse did. The really sad part is, it is making both of our lives miserable and I see no way out for right now.
I wish people would at least try to understand before they judge myself or anybody that is afflicted with these feelings. I think this film goes a long way in helping them to do just that. As I said this is an excellent film, a no miss in my eyes. If you know someone that is dealing with depression of any kind I would suggest sitting down and paying full attention to this entire film, it may help you save someone's life some day. I think it may have saved mine in a lot of ways.
