In A Star Is Born is the unsympathetic view that Jackson's suicide was his own fault an American thing?
I mean there's no thought given to awareness of mental illness and depression but rather they put the blame at his door and say it was nobody's fault but his own?
What's up with that?
Because suicide is ultimately a selfish act. There's nothing noble, tragic or romantic about it. There's no shortage of movies and music trying to convince you otherwise, though.
Basic human instinct is to survive. Do you really think that somebody who is sound of mind would kill themselves? It's a fucking mental illness, man.
Basic human instinct is to laze around if the environment allows it.
Do you really think somebody who is of sound mind would work in such an environment?
It's a fucking mental illness, man.

read this comment out loud and think about how sick you sound. memeing out words that mean nothing and aren't even factual.
I'm not lying or exaggerating when I say take a long look at yourself.

it's not possible for white men to be victims, not even of depression. they are always the aggressor.
>32 years old
would music moguls really try to create a music pop star at the ripe age of 32?
seems like the movie would have worked better if it was someone who was like early 20s like lady gaga was when she first hit popularity.
They couldn't make Jack sympathetic, because that would take attention away from Gaga.
The 70's version was custom written to promote Streisand, but the character was just a rocker in decline, and not dealing with it, but trying, and gets killed drunk driving, but not intentionally - he's not even hinted at being mentally ill or suicidal.
It's not an American thing, in this case, it's a Lady GaGa thing.
In country, maybe. For most other genres, no. The movie would have worked better if they could have cast the part to an actress who fit, instead of fitting everything in it around Gaga.
