"I bet you will be fine if you are given a tent to live in the desert now. What else can you not?"
"I can't be alone."
Bobby is. Such a person who is afraid of loneliness, he is an orphan and longs for the warmth of the family. Jonathan is eager to break through the inherent life pattern, not knowing if this is one of the reasons why he prefers men. They later fell in love with the same girl Claire, her personality is like her red hair, bright and charming.
This makes me have to think of Truffaut's movies "Jules and Jim" (Jules and Jim) or "Loving" (Loving). The story of a girl and two boys is always so complicated. However, it seems so simple here, people are attracted to each other because of certain characteristics, regardless of gender or age. As Claire said at the end, maybe the color of her hair seemed so strange. What she longed for was the life of ordinary people, a harmonious and happy family.
In the beginning, the relationship between the three people may be viewed from the eyes of some people, and some are against the secular, and some are against the norms of morality. In fact, all the extraordinary are for the pursuit of ordinary beauty. They are just three people who fell in love with each other, loving each other hard and hard, maintaining this fragile relationship. Their common hope is to have a family of their own, where members can choose for themselves. This seemingly ordinary request seems to have become an extravagant desire, and love is gradually unbalanced among the three people. Bobby can only choose Claire or Jonathan. Although there is no force to force him to choose, emotional things are always natural. Love is always selfish and exclusive.
Movies always convey a kind of uneasiness, that is, some things cannot be chosen arbitrarily.
Everyone can see that there is a subtle and warm atmosphere between the two men, as if the two poles looking into the distance will eventually meet. Bobby always likes to dance with Jonathan in music, and they can dance to the accompaniment of any music. The picture at that moment is always exceptionally beautiful, harmonious and warm. Is it love? I have no idea. This kind of thing is never clear. They are like two inseparable little animals, seeing what they lack and desire from each other.
When Jonathan wandered the streets of New York looking for the excitement of a one-night stand, he looked so tired and so lonely. The night in the big city is always disturbing. Bobby pulled him to dance like a beckoning.
We go home.
Maybe this world does not seem to have a place for us, but at the end of the world, where the sun rises, there is our home. The place where the soul resides does not need to be very spacious, as long as the other party remembers to leave a little space in his heart.
The whole movie is full of provocations to the world, such as the lives of three people, unmarried babies born, and love between the same sex. But behind this, there is a deep sorrow. It is a painstaking pursuit, trying to open up a pure land between the noisy world, only love, no harm.
The last shot of the film reminded me of Rilke’s words: “Whoever doesn’t have a house now will never build it well; whoever is single now will be alone for a long time.”
Bobby finally refused to leave with Claire and chose to stay. At the end of the world, accompany Jonathan through his few remaining years. They are familiar with the posture of calling each other without words.
now.
go home.

It is worth mentioning that the original novel author of "House of the End" is the Pulitzer Prize-winning Michael Cunningham, and "The Moment" is also by him. Compared with "Moments and Moments", which is exquisitely structured and freely shuttles in different time and space, "Apocalypse House" is more approachable and does not play with fancy. It outlines a pure land of emotions in the emotional entanglement of the three people.
For a small production film, Mike Meyer, the director who directed the feature film for the first time, has a good grasp of it, making the picture peaceful and exquisite without being overwhelming. Colin Farrell converges on his usual unruly image and interprets a lonely, introverted, and eager for warmth. I even think he is more suitable for this kind of literary art than "SWAT" movies that show movements and muscles. piece. The other starring Dallas Robots (Dallas Robots) was a rookie who made her debut in the TV series in 1994, and later became a supporting role in movies. He always wanders the city with the artist's temperament, which may also be the same. Limits his development. But Mike Meyer never forgets him, and in 2006 he made his second film "Flicka" (Flicka) and also reserved a place for Dallas. The heroine Claire is played by Robin Wright Penn (Robin Wright Penn), who has rarely been seen in blockbuster movies. She was also a beautiful beauty star back then, starring successively in "The Princess Bride" and "Princess Bride". Forrest Gump" (Jenny is her inside~), but her greatest achievement is probably to tame Sean Penn, a wild horse. Her performance in the movie is mediocre, but it is estimated that where she is now happily being her own producer, acting is just a side job.
