@official_super_star_angel wrote “I don’t agree with him tho…if someone put hand inside fire in the movie ,will u put ur hand inside fire too? We have this kind of scenes in hollywood movies too..”

@somebodys_1stson wrote “Lol does he realise this has no bearing on the root cause of why people commit suicide? When people are depressed and want to take their life it’s not the creativity of movie directors that inspires how they chose to exit. It is movie directors that in fact learnt from suicidal people”
