I've only seen three films based on Grimm's novels. Except for the gloomy eyes and the harmonious shadows, "The Third Party" is generally pleasant. The second, probably the most recent "The Quiet American", Including this "The End of Love", you can't say that it reflects the original work very well, but they all give me a feeling of disgust, especially the latter, and because it has too few scenes and is exquisite, it only feels thin, While the dialogue is still brilliant, the overwhelming detail in Greene's novels is gone. But these are not the main reasons for my disgust.
It's strange that I never felt that way when I read Grimm's novels before, but can I now decide that Grimm's novels are inherently repulsive? Like birthmarks as signs, we can find them in many of Greene's novels. It can't be said that I didn't have the ability to respond to Green at the time. At that time, the protagonists who were more brothers than brothers were hidden in more landscapes, so that people felt that they were more complicated - isn't it true? And in the movie, in order to show their purity, their characteristics seem to be magnified several times. Yes, it's disgusting mainly because the characters aren't likeable. I faced this problem for the first time.
But I think the film is not bad, both externally and internally. This seems to serve as a little corroboration for a topic that has been discussed recently, and my conclusion is that hating the characters more or less makes the movie hate it, emotionally it must be, of course, sometimes reason makes you fall in love Impossible, it offers plenty of reasons to give way to feelings. I think this can be applied outside of movies as well.
