Why does suicide still seem to be a sensitive main theme in movies?

Why does suicide still seem to be a sensitive or taboo main theme in movies? Meanwhile, we got people killed and raped in a lot of movies. For example. I haven't seen movies where the main idea is justification for a mass suicide.

    Hits close to home for way too many people.

    Homicides on the other hand are quite rare. Unless it's in expected group ie gangs.

      Good take.

      Because suicide is more relatable to the general population.

    Whatever happened to the good old days where you could put 2 in the back of your own head and nobody would care. We should go back to that let people kill themselves how they want to

      How would you get two shots in?

      In my opinion the 22 caliber is the superior suicide caliber. Just enough power to punch through your skull, ricochet around so you die, and not leave a splatter for someone else to clean up.

      I suppose you could of meant a pepper box 22. But that's rare enough of a pocket pistol.

        It's a joke of people getting reported as suicide when they were clearly murdered. Yikes dude f that. I'll grab my 357 im not taking tge chance of being turned into a vegetable

          Yeah that was the other interpretation. To avoid being a vegetable aim for your brain stem. Cut that you just straight up die.

          357. Might not puncture the otherside of your skull. But in the mission if cleanliness dont kill yourself in a room, die in the woods. Cleaning is so much simpler/ if you are a hippy you return to the earth faster.

    Bc they don’t want you to ask questions when the media says someone killed themselves.

        And a million other people that had suspicious deaths that are just called a suicide. If you even mention that it didn’t seem like a suicide you’re “disrespecting their death”.

    Idk, rape seems as big as a sensitive topic as suicide. It doesn't get scoffed over like with killing

      Um...what about the Taken trilogy? The entire premise was literally trying to rescue his daughter from sex slavery. That movie was portrayed as a fun action romp
