Movies and TvShows featuring "filmed-suicide" theme.

Christine is based on the true story of television reporter Christine Chubbuck, who, in 1974, committed suicide on live television. The film explores her personal struggles, including depression, dissatisfaction, and a broken dream. It delves into the pressure of television ratings, workplace issues, and her mental illness. Christine's tragic end shocked the nation and left a lasting impact on the media industry.

The film's main theme is obsession. An obsession with love, with art, originality, copying, with success, money and... with oneself. Sooner or later, if we lose our rational upper hand over it and let ourselves be dragged down by it, every obsession leads to destruction. But it is only when being dragged down, in spite of all the cuts and bruises, that we find a unique DELIGHT, if only for a few short moments - and what else is life really about? It is like a drug. What at first seems to be weak and trivial is capable of expanding and growing into a serious problem that can appear to be absolutely incomprehensible and absurd to those who have never experienced anything like it.

A young TV news reporter grows tired of commercial programming and decides to cover more positive stories. He is fired for his troubles, and goes on a personal search for truth and beauty in the media. A voyage in consciousness for the millennium.
