I don't know. Didn't they say something about how a freak accident in his house isn't his fault? He started the fire but they couldn't prove it. I honestly can't remember, I didn't really like this movie so I've forgotten most of it.
They had no reason to believe he had anything to do with it. It's not like 99.9% of people wouldn't just come in and get arrested if the cops found new evidence connecting his involvement and asked him to come in to "answer questions".
Remember that he lit the fire in the fireplace instead of putting the central heating on just for the sole reason because his wife complained about very dry sinuses from central heating, so you could even blame his wife for it all.
There’s this Jeff guy that works at the hospital and 5 or 6 years ago he was driving somewhere during a blizzard and he wrecked his truck killing his wife and both his kids but he survived with some broken bones. When he’s not working he’s getting drunk in the bar I work at and he said he begged to be arrested and thrown in prison when he was released from the hospital, he says he wished he was in prison for the rest of his life. Gave me a new perspective on this film.
>he says he wished he was in prison for the rest of his life
very poignant in a void, but frankly if he wanted to be in prison it's not like it's hard at all to get there, that just sounds like lip service on his part so he can talk about his dead family for sympathy without looking bad
The being in prison part is not the important part, but the fact that he feels immensely guilty and wants to pay for that fact. That person now trying to rob a bank just to get hot meals in a prison won't suddenly feel better
nah, it's really comfy and relaxing staring into a fire late at night sitting on the couch surrounded by family having comfy late night conversation, it's a nice once or twice a year feel
>it's a nice once or twice a year feel
So do it in the yard or when you go camping or literally anywhere but in your house if it's just once or twice a year thing
I had a fireplace in a bedroom once. It was incredible. You are engineered on a biological level to enjoy it and I'm not even exaggerating. A fire pit isn't the same because it's an action and event by itself, you have to spend like three or four hours in the backyard to make lighting a fire pit not feel like a waste of time. A fireplace, especially in your room can be activated whenever you want so you quickly become accustomed to its daily, constant influence. The notch is raised on your standards and you feel worse permanently for not having it, for having known a better life and then having it taken away. It's like heroin.

Your point sounds backwards... a guy who wants food and does a crime to get in prison for free food instantly has that problem solved. He got exactly what he wanted and he'll keep getting it for the foreseeable future with no significant loss on his part. It's a game where he wins and only 'loses' something he doesn't value IE his freedom. Jeff feels guilty about surviving so he drinks to cope, then he feels guilty about drinking so he tries to pretend he'd totally rather be in prison than drinking because he's just oh so tortured... get over yourself, Jeff. Maybe you would have another family if you went back to having the functional life that attracted the first woman. Tell him that, tell him I said that... tell him to talk to me if he has a problem with it
>Maybe you would have another family if you went back to having the functional life
You must be a kid still.
Newsflash: Someone who feels responsible for the death of his entire family DOES NOT feel worthy of ever having a family again. Even this very film shows the same thing.
This isn't like your dog dying so you get another dog or breaking up with your high school gf so you get another gf etc. Things like these are lifelong immense grief and basically PTSD, no such person can ever be fully functional like before.
>yeah my kids died so I'm basically unable to function for the rest of my life lmao
same shit as drug addicts taking advantage of the false pretense that they have a "disease", there's no effort to overcome it because of intense demoralization and eagerly willing helpnessness
>yeah my kids died
Even just your kids dying before you is enough to make a man broken for life, let alone YOU being the one responsible for their death. Men have lifelong extreme PTSD and extreme suicidal tendencies just for seeing their friends die in war, now imagine you being the one essentially killing your entire family.
The ridiculous drug addict non comparison is insultingly moronic, please finish high school
>Men have lifelong extreme PTSD and extreme suicidal tendencies just for seeing their friends die in war
I was raised with a present father and reached puberty with functioning testosterone production. Perhaps I should have opened with this so you could understand how different our perspectives are

Ah yes the problem of war veterans is that they didn't have enough testosterone am I rite.
You're a clueless kid with no connection to life whatsoever. Maybe you'll understand in a decade or two

Sounds more like you're weak and broken from too many bad memories and not enough of your parents building you up as a reliable person. A chain forged with pig iron can't pull a boxcar so you can't really be blamed yourself

I have no bad memories or trauma whatsoever, but I'm also not a clueless kid who can't understand the perspective of someone else feeling responsible for the death of their entire family. "Just forget about it and have another family" is clueless kid talk, not to mention your implication that men who fought for their countries were supposedly low testosterone weak men

You literally don't even understand the mouse wheel you're in. By blindly accepting it and lashing out at me, you defer to this outcome and directly choose it. If it happened to you, there would be no chance whatsoever of you finding another life on the other side. You would be Jeff. You choose to be Jeff.
>men who fought for their countries
I wonder how many of those men might speak of their duty to overcome struggle... they probably didn't get shelled by artillery or shot by germans while drinking in a bar and seeking reassurances

Like the policeman in the movie said 'it's not a crime to forget to put the fire guard up'. Would he still have living children if he hadn't drunkenly forgotten about the fire? Yeah, probably, but a sober person could have made the same careless mistake. He wasn't negligent to the point of criminality.

got a better question. why did you just post this if you posted the same thread yesterday
He's literally me
>didn't immediately open fire on him
I’ve seen this webm a million times and still don’t know the context
the dad's reaction makes me sad
>0:07
>Staring right at a gun
K I N O
He called the shots
It was a small town where everyone knew each other.
>gets arrested for attempted suicide
Happens all the time. Any humanity is illegal.
It's a movie. Irl he'd be drugged and locked up for several months< and or murdered, by cops themselves or the "hospital".
Why don't (You) let him go?
Why do the jannies just let him go?
>yeah arrest him for trying to kill himself, that will teach him
Remember that he lit the fire in the fireplace instead of putting the central heating on just for the sole reason because his wife complained about very dry sinuses from central heating, so you could even blame his wife for it all.
It was just an honest mistake.
I blame women for everything
same here
He wouldn't have needed the fire if he didn't do cocaine that night

isnt a fireplace like the dumbest thing ever? i assume thats why ive never been in a house with one, because why would you have one

(You)
Fricking hell, did you read Nietzsche for the first time in your life, kid?
Maybe he should blame the blizzard instead and move on?
sounds like something a woman would do
A wöman would never drive during a blizzard.
she definitely would not take responsibility for her actions regardless
It's not like he started the blizzard.
Lol fireplaces make a home a home. I was very lucky to grow up with one
white privilege
Was I supposed to believe his house had zero smoke detectors? His entire family would have been awake as soon as carpet caught fire.

hilarious how this chris watts esque crime drama in sheep's clothing went over everyone's heads
