Although I am going back to my home after a 12-year absence to announce my imminent death, I just want to go back and see the people and places that were most important to me, but I don't expect any comfort or encouragement, because life My own, I have long since parted ways with my family and my hometown.
During my adolescence, I replicated the same rebelliousness as others, especially when I discovered my sexuality, I was immersed in my own world, and I imagined that the whole world headed by my father was against me, and there was a strong explosion with my friends. The passion of my life, catalyzed by drugs, became my weapon against the world and the whole meaning of my existence. I understand how childish my rebellion is in the eyes of adults, I just don't understand why they are so hostile, why they face me with a mocking attitude even though they have experienced it.
It was not until many years later, when I, as a writer, wrote about my own experiences with a pen, that I faced these fire scars again, as if I could see the true face of things. Father's rigid love is the only possibility left to him by his past, and the softness and restraint he lacks will disappear forever in this home with my dead mother. My stepmother uses all her wisdom and courage to create a joyful warmth. However, due to the irritability of family members, they fail repeatedly. My brother received the baptism of rebellion before me, and perhaps because of this, my father's patience was lost to me. My father and I have never been able to communicate properly and effectively through words or behavior. Finally, I had a younger sister, so, almost inevitably, my younger sister received almost all the love and attention of my parents. My brother has left home as an adult. It seems that I should leave home earlier to bring complete peace and joy to this family. In this way, when I was fifteen years old, I left my home, my hometown, my family and my lover.
After leaving my hometown, I seem to really fly. I have achieved success in my career, found a lover and established a family. My life is finally flying in the direction I like, and I have left my hometown far behind. Every one or two years, I get news from my hometown, my brother got married, and then had a child, my father died, my sister went to middle school, and this news came to me every one or two years, telling me that my hometown was still there. , that family is also there.
Now, I'm terminally ill, time is running out, I'm going back to my home at the end of the world, and see how I became who I am, I'm going to pull the world in my head into reality, and see what time brings us change, perhaps unchanged.

    Leaving a little time, returning after years. The words "I'm dying" can't be said at all. Everyone only paid attention to expression, and no one really listened to it. Together they couldn't breathe, and separated nostalgie. Too private and too depressing. Just close the door and do it by yourself. If you visualize it, you can only pick the audience who has experienced it. Those who are tricked into the theater by the lineup must be cursed. It took Ulliel two years to overthrow my persistent prejudice against him.

    It's hard to find a character more boring than Vincent Cassel in film history. In the film, everyone said to Cassel, "What are you doing, why are you talking like this, I don't understand anything."-I want to repeat these words to all the creators. 2 stars give the only visual style left.

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.
