Jenina 14,921 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I follow some chronic pain accounts on twitter and I've come across a few tweets saying stuff like "PSA: don’t see A Star is Born if you are struggling with sobriety/addiction and/or suicidal ideation." The responses have been some people regretting going because it was very hard to watch at certain scenes as you know if you've seen it. Should ASIB have/had more of a trigger warning? It doesn't really reveal the problems the characters face in the trailer too deeply so I'm not sure cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy101 5,428 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 they literally show him drinking and going to rehab in the trailer honestly it’s the fourth version of this movie how do people not know he commits suicide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmar 22,030 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yeah, movies do have trigger warnings, which is the MPAA rating. 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina George 59,387 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If anything it should have epilepsy warning at the beginning because my friend (who has epilepsy) almost got another episode because of constant light flashing in the movie.. She had to leave the cinema for few minutes.. Not even kidding.. I don’t remember what scene it exactly is but I remember it had a lot of flashlights in it.. Also it’s well known fact that movie is about alcoholism and addiction problems so I see no problems there.. Suicide was not mentioned but it’s rated R for a reason..

Nightwing 1,500 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It's not really feasible tbh. If they put it in front of the movie the tickets would have already been bought. Same deal for buying/renting the movie. Plus putting a warning anywhere (posters, trailer, description, etc) would spoil the movie for a lot more people than it would help.

Quartz 11,923 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If you got triggered in the right way, I think it's good. Ignoring/Avoiding an issue is never advisable. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 71,338 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I don't think so. Not only, in my opinion, does it take away from the creative world of whatever the movie is about (in this case, ASIB), but also ASIB is rated R for a reason...

whore 11,447 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Trigger warning? You mean the MPAA graphic that every movie trailer has that warns viewers of the contents of a movie?? Im all about progressive views but some people just want to be spoon-fed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagally 775 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Wow. this is amazing. I did not know how to broach the topic. The first time I saw the movie, I was so down. It was quite a conflict, I enjoyed the performances so much, but I had no idea the suicide was coming and it is an emotional trigger for me. It took me a couple of days to process and come to terms with it. Watch As I Dive In Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the opening scene was very hard to watch, the flashlights and sounds were louder than normal, it was crazy and I felt dizzy as well. But it was like that until he gets to the car.

Tom Nook 37,752 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 In the US the MPAA states that it’s rated R for language throughout, some sexuality/nudity and substance abuse so I’m not sure if there is a need to take it one more step further but I’m glad people are letting others know if they are prone to relapse Uh Red Wine...
