Flipside: Off the Golden Gate

[bassistchrisist]

this is a suicide video

[Agathon81]

Well I didn't see the comedy in it. But I saw another point in it.

Many people would do anything for fame and money, and that is what this film told me...

But still I can understand why ppl find it offensive, because it is a very sensitive subject.

Still I hope that you are not a supporter of suicide since you made this film.

[martinifilm]

3 questions. Scream was me off camera. Made in 2000, clipped from "Camera - Dogme 15" avail at createspace. I had no idea people would watch this to view someone jump. It was part of my film where everyone gets this camera and I was trying to find funny things to do with it. Heights scare me, so I may have sounded frantic. I play the jumper. Suicide is a sensitive subject. But it should be discussed. checking out early only hurts those u love. read michael newton's books about the afterlife.

[ToroRosso20]

What year was the filmed. Looks like the 80's.

[shimeiwoo]

ok so fake sceam

[mchadud]

My best frind jumped 7 years ago , I'm hounted by it now.

[SuperBee187]

when i was 19 yrs old i saw a kid fall from 60 ft and get killed at the quarry in westford ma.the scream of his best friend backpaddeling with him in his arms was the most horrific gutwrenching scream i ever witnessed,it was an accident.

[TheDuck091]

wow...

[hedablinka]

No, from Powell st, you could take the 30 Stockton Broderick Beach, two blocks away on 3rd, and transfer to the 28, which will take you to the Bridge. Or, you could take anything inland on Market to 9th, and catch any Golden Gate transit bus from Mc Allister st to the Golden Gate Bridge. And you could kill yourself much easier, and more painlessly (once you actually get into the water) by swimming out into the Pacific off San Francisco where the water is so cold it will kill you softly sort of

[strke69]

When I go there I want someone to push me not save me,it will do me and everyone a huge favour.

[anthonyrawly]

no, there will be people who need you in this life.

[martinifilm]

"Typical person who jumps off the Bridge is a 40, white; More students hurl themselves than members of any other occupation, according to Marin County coroner. 83.4% who jumped were from the Bay Area, 26.3 from SF. Median age was 40, 56.4 were never married, 19.4 were divorced, and 74.2 percent were male. A total of 80.3 percent were white. Of the 330 victims examined, 27 were students and 15 worked in sales. Nine were teachers." FYI - don't walk on the bridge if you're any of the above!

[silentmoviemusicfrk]

Living in California is enough to drive anyone insane. Having the arch asshole Schwartzeneggar is governor is just the tip of the iceberg. Cost of living is so high, unemployment is high. I am glad I am not there.

[OpinionatedJerk]

California is paradise, we live the spoiled life, don't get it twisted.

[armchairmaster]

I'm just going to say this once to you.

It's NOT funny to make videos like this.

AT ALL. People die quite a bit on this bridge and you're just going to try and make it FUNNY?

You,sir,are a sick man.

[martinifilm]

Thank you. I think I said everything I needed to say in the film description. Sorry if you were looking for a faces of death video and stumbled upon this one. I didn't post it to insult suicide victims or their families, or friends of suicide victims. If someone got a suicide candidate to laugh, perhaps they wouldn't jump. Just a thought.

[dbo78912]

I'm not saying I disagree, but people die on this bridge because they either want to, or they're being stupid.

[JonThePyroGuy]

People and their morals. Morality is a bunch of crap. They mean absolutely nothing. It's a pointless perception of the human mind. Matter of fact, life is no more than fortuitous event.

[martinifilm]

Actually, I beg to differ. I'm shooting a documentary on reincarnation. Pretty unusual; Filming people under hypnosis remembering previous lives, as well as insight into why they chose this one. According to the research, we've lived many 'fortuitous events,' and those who check out early, tend to want to come back quickly to fulfill why they came in the first place. But profoundly, they say we all choose our lives, even if they might end early. And even those lives have morality & meaning.

[fpyout]

most shit video i ever sawed

[Aikenmort]

Misleading flagage? How do girls get pregnant?

[robbyswifey08]

Flagged for misleading content

[martinifilm]

Your comment has been flagged for misleading flaggage. Not fair to be mad you didn't actually see someone jump from the bridge. Maybe you did and missed it? After all, the camera didn't work. Did you consider that maybe it's a real video? Hmmm. A conundrum. Meanwhile, your comment has been flagged for being misleading - I'm not sure what content you're referring to. Is there a "Suicide" TV Network on youtube? Only real suicides allowed? Faces of Dearth? Mine is from "Faces of Mirth."

[wowsham1337]

A rick-roll is more misleading than this.

[amazrand]

Your right. Comedy is hard- maybe you will figure it out someday. Dont count on it though!

[NanaNarcotic]

"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."

Truesay XD

[padrn9am]

This bridge of life people Really do jump off all the time

[reassessment]

I was waiting for the funny part.

[gogogadgetcar]

Dieing is easy. Comedy is hard..., ha ha, Great Video.

[hollyzone]

funny XOXO

[scouticus05]

hahahahahha...

what made this a funny movie was reading all the comments before watching. you dicks make it work!

[maltijien]

Fuckin electronic gadgets!!!

They pack up at the best moment of filming!! hahahaah lol

[yagerOne87]

lol gay

[csimo13]

hahahaha thats great.

[andygoodyear]

I am guessing my comments wont get shown as they go to you for approval, but you will never get an impartial opinion if you disable ratings, label things wrong and approve all comments. So in other words you are only showing what you want.

Giving something an incorrect title is is just as bad as myspace and those people that for some reason want hundreds of friends even if they dont know them.

[quinnsans]

I like this. But you gave it an incorrect title. I wouldn't have watched this film other wise, but you still gave it an incorrect title.

[martinifilm]

Okay, the new title is: PRETEND VIDEO OF A GUY JUMPING FROM THE GOLDEN GATE. are you happier?

[muffinlad23]

yeah

[mihiro2]

have some respect to those who committed suicide man.. can't imagine if u are the one of those family.

[martinifilm]

I respect you. I bet I know more people who committed suicide than you do. Right now, the leading cause of suicide is Prozac. It shuts off the part of the 'fight or flight' portion of the brain. The jury is out on Ambien (if u check the website it warns "you may wake up and not know who you are.") Suicide is a complex issue - from people who can't move past their past to people who are too drugged to see it. I say, depression should lead to a trip to India. See India, and you won't be unhappy.

[martinifilm]

When I labeled this clip, I called it this because it is part of an overall film with many clips about various uses of what people might use a video camera for. I had no idea people would watch this hoping to see someone die. However, the bridge has always scared me, and this was my comic way of laughing in the face of that fear. Sorry if it offended you. I have no idea why people watch this video looking for death, and then are upset when they don't find it. Either way, enjoy your day.

[ash0717s]

Suicide is such a joke, right? Why don't you have some compassion for the family of those who actually commited suicide at the bridge? Or for the people who feel like jumping off of the bridge is their only answer? All you are doing is trying to make a buck with your "my movie is available at Netflix." Why don't you use a less serious subject while trying to plug your movie.

[pineyjoesdad]

Nice bridge.

[Miisen]

only americans know how to FILM WHEN THEY BUY THE CAMERA THEY ARE ALREADY FILMING WITH

[Titan752]

CRAP VIDEO!!! I hope the bridge collapses when you're on it!

[XsYnTheTiC1]

Lmfao

[BrackishWater]

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS is 8 times what ANY digital camcorder is worth! Theyre as cheap as 2-300 at walmart! EVERY 'glitzy' camera store in sf along market street etc GAFFLES the tourits !!! they get them on the exchange rate quick math, and man do they get SUCKERED!. Go look at the tag prices on the useless crapp they sell there and youll see what I mean. Portable cd player worth 29 at bestbuy--there: 199 ! DvD player-89 at bestbuy--there 1200 !! Sharks!

[Nickifyoudontbuy]

That was actually pretty witty for something so macarbe.

[pinkie963741]

[zenethstokecity]

[logansGT]

I prefer a bong rather than rolled (*_~)

[zandj710]

must be the cable car turn around yes it is the old woolworths used to be there. the emporium across the street. Jump baby jump, one less person to feed at glide, more for moms and children or even the working men.

[zandj710]

i live here, its the most jumped bridge in the world, thousands a year. they want to put a net that would hurt but not kill you but they are debating it because it would ruin the astetics. screw them, if they are that hell bent on suicide, they will find a way. shame because they are not even noticed or name printed in the paper, they are just called another jumper

[Enoeno]

24 in 2005. Not thousands...

[normank27]

24 is not thousands  but thousands in total over the years which is crazy

[allthismovie]

This is all fake.

They are all actors one even won an oscar.

[DerrickForLife]

i thought it was real

[kirkwanglers32]

Good Gag,Had me fooled.Lol

[fatherfrost111]

Fuck!! i cannot believe the camera blacked out when the guy jumped!!! thats soo sad

[dell9494]

haha im glad u can read

[pete5668]

if you jump off and survive, what happens? do they slap the cuffs on you and throw you in jail for life?

[Kverul]

Sent to bedlam, receive therapy and probably medication. When healthy, released. If in America, lots of debt due to lack of health insurance.

[Debbie321lopez]

ore you get psygiatric help.

Ore you drownd

[charlotte240]

"psygiatric help"

[akshona]

HeHeHe I've been in that store in China Town. I got taken for $45.00 for a pair of "$600.00" binoculars. I went on the alcatraz tour with them and the lens in front fell out! HAHA Dont Buy In China Town!

[volzrule005]

wtf...:-\

[TheShadowShowa]

Why does this video have 2k views and no comments?

[martinifilm]

Because I moderate the comments. And so far, you're the only three who weren't mad they weren't watching someone take the plunge. Two places that make me think of that; Niagara Falls and the Golden Gate. This little fantasy was just an extension of that for my film "Camera" which has been designated as "Dogme #15" and is available at NetFlix.

[TheShadowShowa]

ah. I see.
