Too many close-up details without lines gave me enough time to figure out the character's heart.

This is "Just the End of the World" in my eyes:

Four stars. I knew about this movie a long time ago, because I have always liked family ethics dramas and the portrayal of characters, so I gave this movie four stars. If you haven't seen the introduction of the movie, or the monologue of the male protagonist on the plane at the beginning of the movie, the content behind is basically dizzy and incomprehensible. Fortunately, I read the introduction and noticed the monologue of the hero at the beginning of the movie. The hero has a terminal illness and will die soon. After 12 years, he returned home and wanted to tell his relatives the news. With this kind of emotion, the moment the hero opens the door, the emotion is brought in. When his sister-in-law paused in the first conversation, the male protagonist's eyes met. At that time, the male protagonist's eyes were blank. I felt that the sister-in-law already knew that he came back this time with bad news, but was not sure about him. Come back to say goodbye, or announce some bad news. It was not until later that the male protagonist began to act blindly with nostalgia, which made his sister-in-law affirm her inner thoughts, and even unable to restrain her inner emotions, she asked him how much time he had left in a panic. Then suddenly realized that the male protagonist probably didn't want to say it at this moment, so he hurriedly mediated and said something to remedy. Don't break the news until the end, when the male protagonist uses his eyes to get rid of his sister-in-law before you go. The male protagonist's sister can see from the family's dictation that he does not know the male protagonist very well. She lost her yearning and pinned all her beauty on this brother who she didn't know very well, that is, the male protagonist, so no matter how the eldest brother commented on the male protagonist, she felt that Louis must be a good brother, at least better than the eldest brother. Mom should have never understood what was going on from the beginning until the last big quarrel was to make Mom's mind more cluttered, and I wonder if people who know the truth might be sadder. If the male protagonist's sister-in-law didn't say that to the male protagonist in advance, and his elder brother felt that his younger brother didn't care about him just because he had no sense of existence, then the male protagonist might not understand his brother's anger in the car, thank you His sister-in-law's remarks relieved his feelings for his brother to a certain extent. He listened carefully to his roars and accusations all the way, and did not feel angry. He knew that his brother cared about him and valued him very much. In the last dessert, the eldest brother finally knew what was going on from the eyes of the male protagonist and the gesture of his wife's hands. In the end, in order to make up for it, and to help the male protagonist escape, and to understand his feelings of not wanting to make his family sad, he resolutely directed and acted himself, and asked to drive the male protagonist to the airport in person immediately. . . .

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.
