Cause And Effect, Bukowski

the best often die by their own hand
just to get away,
and those left behind
can never quite understand
why anybody
would ever want to
get away
from
them

People who commit suicide are pretty much fed up with life and what it may have to offer. They no longer want to be a part of a society they do not agree with. These people are usually the most sensitive, imaginative, smart, loving and kind. They can’t deal with those who don’t understand their unique, creative perspective. The ones who are left behind never fully understand the chices of those who have chosen to leave this world.

Jessie Cates (Sissy Spacek) packs her belongings into bags intended for donation to charity. She's doing so because, as she tells her mother, Thelma (Anne Bancroft), she plans to kill herself that very evening. This film, inspired by an esteemed stage production, centers on the interactions between an elderly woman and her daughter, whose depression has pushed her to the brink of suicide. As Jessie steels herself for her last act, Thelma gallantly encourages her to opt for life.

"It happened in 1983. It was a rare and remarkable theatrical experience. Controversial. Provocative.". It happened in 1983. It was a rare and remarkable theatrical experience. Controversial. Provocative. And shocking. Now, two Academy Award-winning actresses make the Pulitzer Prize-winning play the motion picture event of the year. What would you do if someone you loved sat down with you one night and calmly told you that they were going to end their life before morning?
