The relationship is very complicated, the last second and the next second will be very different, not to mention it has been 12 years in the past. Louis' indifference, his brother's resistance, and the family's embarrassment can all be understood. It's not that they no longer love each other, but it's much harder to resume a relationship than to start a relationship. They are all dealing with the hurt caused by their feelings in their own way. The elder brother uses cruelty to keep everyone's love out. He thinks that if there is no emotion, he will not be hurt; the younger sister uses fantasy to make up for the lack of emotion; mother He pretends to be optimistic and tries to save everything; the kind sister-in-law wants to take care of everyone, but loses the other; however, Louis is like a lonely soul in the wild, he doesn't know how to save it, even if he listens to his mother's advice, it is futile, and finally he can only choose to leave . The feelings in the film are not so difficult to understand, just like the couple who broke up meet again, what can they do? Even if you still love each other deeply, can you be reunited? They still looked at each other and smiled, chose to leave, and never communicated with each other. This film opens up a feeling of neglect, the extreme alienation after the loss of extreme intimacy.

It's Only the End of the World quotes

  • 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.

  • La mère: I don't understand you. But I love you. I love you. No one will take that away from me.
