"Curious - how is an accidental death more shocking and devastating than a suicide?"
I imagine most people would say they're about equally shocking in different ways.
Interesting: In LILIOM the play, as in the stage version of CAROUSEL, Liliom/Billy definitely kills himself, but in LILIOM the play, the ending is ambiguous as to whether Liliom goes to heaven or....elsewhere. Yet the ending is much more hopeful in the 1934 film of LILIOM. |
