Growth story

This is a story about growing up, a story about a boy becoming a man.

The role of the elder brother has never been as cordial as in the movie, nor has it disappeared so suddenly, but the more cordial, the more suddenly it makes people feel to leave. When the last person I was close to, my father, also left early in the morning, growing up began.

Bobby left his home and came to another home. There is a friend in this family who is like a brother, and a mother who does not belong to him but protects himself. But whether this kind of family affection can be shared is the same as whether later love can be shared, resulting in two differences between two friends.

In the last separation, Bobby and Johnny were left alone but not alone. In the end, your love has no corresponding return love, but what you get is the special care of Bobby. When the two men returned to their home alone---if this was still home, only the love they knew was left behind.

A Home at the End of the World quotes

  • Bobby Morrow, 1982: [to Jonathan] You're essential, man.

  • Bobby Morrow: I get up and walk around in the dark sometimes. Does that weird you out?

    Jonathan Glover: No... I don't know.

    Bobby Morrow: When the place is all dark, when you and Clare have gone to sleep, and I'm awake, it's like being alive and being dead at the same time, y'know? It's this sorta halfway thing, where people who are alive are dreaming and people who are dead are... where they are. And I'm here... in the dark and the quiet.
