Scott was a director of action films that left the viewer with no necessity to use their brain. In fact the less brain you used the more chance you would stand of being able to make it to the end. In this sense his work mirrored his life as he clearly wasn't thinking when he left his two young sons completely fatherless.
On the plus side I think it is admirable that he chose to hurl himself off a brigde in a manner that befitted his films. By that I mean they too should have been thrown off a blasted bridge.
However, many suicide-cases including Auntie Jo-Jums Ware-Armitage just try to fade away into nothingness without being noticed but not old Tony. No Sir! In the true spirit of his own films he went out with a bang or a splash to be more precise.
Personally one thinks that he could have preceeded the leap with a bank robbery, followed by a police car chase with dramatic music and then driving the car off the bridge but you can't have everything now can you.
The whole thing was a complete shower! If one is feeling down one doesn't go and finish everything No Sir!!! One does something about it and tries to get a grip on things not leaving the kids fatherless!
Totally agree. The thoughtlessness of leaving his children fatherless is not to be commended.
