Only the end is beautiful

Most of us hope that we will be a good person, and we will do our best to do the right thing to friends, family, and ourselves. However, sometimes things go against one's wishes and often lose some control over their powers, especially when we are betrayed, deceived, and abandoned by the world by the people we love and trust. This is an eternal contradiction and struggle, which is the theme of this film.

Mexican director Gonzalez finally no longer continues the three-stage style of "Love is a bitch", "21 grams" and "Tongtian Tower", but still maintains the sadness of life in this magical realism work. Touching and delicate description. Spanish actor Javier Baden plays a father who has only two months of life in terminal cancer. He wants to maintain not only a limited life, but also a group of illegal immigrants who have illegal and dilapidated employment opportunities, and a man suffering from depression. Zheng has repeatedly betrayed his wife's weak desire to return to the family, and the long and unknown life of the two children who are far from adulthood. In the last few remaining lives, he endured the double torture of illness to the body and suffering to the soul, and shouldered his overwhelming responsibility.

Those unbearable past events can only be found in the long years to be irretrievable. Those preludes or episodes of life, after sounding, begin to sing forever the sadness and despair that seems to have long been destined. Despair is like the deep seabed. He said that it was too dark and depressed. No light, no hope, only the floating bodies of death and their long-suspended crying that they did not want to leave. This was his Instinct, innate destiny.

Perhaps only the end is beautiful. He finally heard the sound of the waves and wind. It was the beauty that had never been heard in a quiet and sad life, and the kindness and serenity that he had never seen in his entire life. He had never seen it since he was born. In the voice of his late father’s description, the meteor flashed across the brightest life moment in the sky before he died.
