Honorable Suicide, Euthanasia, like in movies or history, is it a sin?

[Asking]

In movies and history you very often see it as something honorable,

for example in war movies, the troops retreat, someone is badly injured, cant move, he knows he is going to die, and he asks some friend to kill him because he doesnt want to be killed by the enemies who will find him, is that a mortal sin?

Or like the jews in masada or the celtiberians in Numantia, who were sieged by the romans and prefered to kill themselves before being slaves, is that mortal sin too?

There are many examples, spy movies, samurai movies,kamikazes…

Why is it usually shown as something honorable? heroic?, It is not a modern liberal trend, it has always been the case thru all history.

The other day I was watching Thelma and Louise and I had an epiphany, hey, thats mortal sin! I had never thought of that in that way.

Would you say Thelma and Louise are in hell?

Yes would say they are. It’s been years since I saw it but thinking back it showed the one way modern women act when they’re through with their husbands–go out and party and get into deeper trouble. That’s “living” you see and is considered trés cool. Except when you bottom out and you’re called a slut.

Also, dramatically a suicide makes a nice tidy little ending so writer opt for it all the time. Really, the writing is so bad. There is not a whole lot of thought that goes into it except what with the box office gross be. With a little chutzpah, you and I could be selling screenplays too.
