This is a very touching film.

In the beautiful and peaceful American countryside, the beautiful girls Deanie and Bud are deeply in love with each other. Their love carries the enthusiasm and excitement of youth, as well as the helplessness and confusion of youth. However, they were forced to break up due to misunderstandings due to family, social and environmental reasons. Although the boy was sent by his family to a university in another city for further study, he exiled and depressed himself because of this deep-rooted love; the girl even suffered a mental breakdown and entered a sanatorium...

Many years have passed, those youth The fragments of Bud settled in Bud's memory. Bud found an ordinary girl to marry and have children, and he became an authentic farmer. And when Deanie got sick and got out of the nursing home, he mustered up the courage to meet Bud. Bud was already a mature man. He pulled up his pants and worked hard to clean the bullpen. The child is next to him. Bud introduces Deanie to his family one by one….

At the end of the film, someone asks Deanie if he still loves Bud. Deanie didn't answer, she smiled softly, but her eyes were full of tears. In her heart she recited the poem of Wordsworth: "There will be no more bright sunshine, magnificent grasslands and gorgeous flowers, no sorrow, we must draw strength from everything that exists."

    The background of the times is placed in the period of the American economic crisis. One side is the shattering of the collapsed American dream, and the other side is the demise of personal idealism and love. However, unlike "The Great Gatsby", which ends with nothingness after complete disillusionment, "End of the World" rebuilt a pragmatic hope on the ruins (after the passion disappears, life returns to dullness, and ideals give way to reality), "Though nothing can bring back the hour of slpendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."

    Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. Wordsworth is so beautiful and so fitting. This film has a taste of youth and pain literature. The young man turns into a butterfly from the wound of growing up, and the beauty and regret of the past are all gone. Those who go can not be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased.
