Recently, a suicide game called "Blue Whale" from Russia has been rumored to have killed 130 Russian teenagers because of the game, and the game is still expanding into the world. The game's designers have been arrested and have openly claimed that the game's participants were "walking garbage." This incident still set off a huge repercussion in public opinion. Why are today's teenagers so easy to "think about it"? We're looking for the answer today with a Swedish film like this.
Suicide Space is a drama film directed by Jan Comasa and starring Yakupur Gale Show and Roma Gasiorowska. Dominic, the protagonist of the film, has spoiled his parents, a handsome appearance and a carefree life. And because of this, whether in the eyes of friends or parents, they will feel that he should be a well-behaved child who understands the sunshine. After losing a bet at a school party, he kissed Alex, a handsome guy in his class, and had a physiological reaction in physical contact. This scene was filmed by classmates. The next day online video of the whole process spread at the school. Dominic suddenly became the "focus" figure, which made Dominique ashamed and embarrassed. The seeds of depression begin to take root in the heart.
Dominic seems to have everything, but he is very lonely. Parents cheat on each other, work is always busy, parents only know how to satisfy their son with materials, there is no time to accompany him. This makes the owners who are deeply involved in the school storm have no one to talk to. Depressed, he simply dropped out of school and immersed himself in an online chat room. One day he met the pink-haired girl Sylvia on the Internet, invited to enter a virtual world specially prepared for suicidal teenagers, there is called the "suicide room", at first Dominique also persuaded Sylvia to give up the idea of self-harm, but was ridiculed by Sylvia as timid, under Sylvia's repeated encouragement and inducement, Dominic's last psychological defense line and reason were defeated, and he also began to commit self-harm behavior.
When the parents discover Dominic's unusual behavior, they get the best psychiatrist, the doctor in charge, who can't guarantee a cure for him, but he makes the key point that parents need to spend more time with their children. His parents disagreed with the psychologist's point of view, and replaced him with a new psychiatrist, and then Dominic's condition did not improve, and in a video call with the girl Sylvia who agreed to commit suicide, he was found by his father and angrily pulled the network cable, dominique cried and rushed out of the room. Long-term autism and depression have made Dominic more and more desperate about life, and finally one day Dominic took the suicide pill while his parents were asleep and went to the nightclub where he had agreed to meet the girl. Eventually it went to death. The film, hailed as "the most brutal film in Poland in the last 20 years," is not bright in color, with gray, and is also interspersed with multiple songs, sometimes depressing, sometimes sad. It is full of ridicule for the world, but it also shows the indifference of the world to the next generation and the people around it, and the intolerance and incomprehension of some people. And the social repercussions caused by this "Blue Whale" game. Parents are urged to spend more time with their children and not to let the tragedy happen again.
