irreversible twelve years

The unexpected return of the second son has become the venting point of the family crisis. The family that is already in crisis needs such an incision to express each other's feelings, even at the cost of blushing and thick neck. The close-up is a great test for the actors, but the performance is persuasive enough, the male lead's restraint, the older brother's anger, the younger sister's disappointment, the mother's nervousness, and the sister-in-law's worry, propped up the whole movie with a weak script Film. In the repeated tensions and hesitations, the tense nerves and the hesitant stares, the director told us that mutual understanding is more important than anything else, especially between family members. Twelve years are enough to build a hard barrier between him and his family. He missed the growth of his sister, the wedding of his brother and sister-in-law, and the death of his first love. There are too many irreparable things, and it is only a drop in the bucket to repair. He is a stranger to this home, destined to leave here. What he regrets is his past indifference and selfishness, which to a certain extent has also become the source of the family crisis. It's a pity that the music and the bird at the end are a bit stiff, and some of the clips are similar to the MV, but overall it's relatively smooth, and those who have had similar experiences will feel deeply.

    Either an MV or a close-up, Dolan won't make a movie

    Chong Lan has been criticized by critics, but the industry still likes it. Cannes gave the jury prize, Aowai entered the top nine, and Caesar nominated a foreign film. The audience is polarized. I think I personally like it. Louis and his family are bound by blood, but it is difficult to express their love for each other. I think his family loves him, and his brother loves and hates him. After leaving for so long, he didn't know and was afraid to communicate and avoid each other after he came back.

It's Only the End of the World quotes

  • Antoine Knipper: We think silent people are good listeners. But I shut up so people leave me alone.

  • Louis-Jean Knipper: There I was, after 10 years, well, 12, to be precise. So after 12 years of absence and in spite of my fear, I was going to visit them. In life there a number of motivations that are no one's business, that force you to leave without looking back. And there are just as many motivations that force you to return. So after all those years, I decided to retrace my steps. Take the journey... to announce my death. Announce it in person, and try to give the others and myself one last time, the illusion that I am, until its very end, the master of my life. Let's see how that goes.
