It was out of nowhere and seemed like an obvious ploy.

Nobody else I said this too agreed with me. The reasons I cited may have been inapplicable - I said it was irrational (most suicides seem irrational) and out-of-the-blue (most suicides are) but in a movie there needs to be some realism attached to that. There was no evidence that his dad was so oppressive that it wouldn't have just been a normal conflict between parents and child.
