I also realize that those who respond this significantly are likely already depressives. So the film was likely just a trigger anyway. The thing about many depressive states is that a disconnect between the real and the imagined (i.e. thoughts) happens quite easily and persistently.
I don't think this film actually caused anyone to become depressed. I wouldn't give it that much credit.
