Because I gave Tropic Thunder 9 - I'm giving them 10. I am a Graboid user - but Graboid links to this site so...

I feel tired - so I'll keep it short. DEFINITE SPOILERS WITHIN. So read this after you've seen it.
I think the implied hanging is not truthful to the spirit of the film. I may indeed be wrong - but it is unquestionably implied.
Why wasn't she knocked down...? - by a bus or a car? Or perhaps an overdose...? Was she really a nurse..? The conductress aspect lending weight intellectually to the characterization - but - things can be also shown to be just as strict within a hospital regime. Would lend authenticity to an overdose...(a compromise maybe between self-hanging and being knocked down..) But knocked down I would prefer.... She is not like that - to hang herself... she is too fearful, in a survivorist sense - God is Just - In what he allows us to do - though he may not agree..
The music is far too invasive - far to distractionary... it is bad. Lovely music to be sure - lovely, orchestral, - but wrong... Might have suited the end - and may have played a subtle theme, orchestraly ... and therefore disturbed... things... That kate won an Oscar - though her performance is splendid/exceptional - doesn't impress me at all... I expect it came as a substantial shock to her...
Ralph Fiens' character seems like he had Brass Balls to go to so imbittered a Jewess - but it works in the context of Kate's character's suicide, so... If she suffered suicide for that reason - its hard to say - that it was wrong filmatically.... Hmmm - I still lean toward being knocked down - somehow... Might have given the Jewess survivor scene - surrounded by all that wealth - may have given her more anger to work with - something stronger - more emotionality...
So, is it the script ? - the book ? Well...its hardly the project - but is there a book? ..another script..?
All in all - very worth the watch...
The love scenes - well... it should be as hot as that - shouldn't it? Beautiful Bods though..... Acceptibly so, maybe..
