I said that this family is full of lunatics, there should be no problem, I feel distressed for "sister-in-law" inexplicably, that brother, his temper is really bad, but what happened 12 years ago? Just leave so easy? Why did you dig a hole and don't fill it up? It's really uncomfortable to keep the suspense like this, but from the beginning to the end of the film, the emotional rendering of the whole process is absolutely perfect, "desperate", "helpless", "overwhelmed", "redemption" and "shattered" In the end, I chose to "encourage" them as the backbone of the family, which is really ironic. His brother hates him, it can even be said to be disgusted, but his brother also "protects" him, just because he hates > loves him, so he seems so extreme. It can be said that his sister admires him and has no impression of him since she was a child, but after hearing many stories of him, she is very rebellious, because the atmosphere of this family is really unpleasant, like a "little adult" , tattooed and smoked, but she still loves this family very much, and has the last innocence, which is only left to her mother. There is also a sister-in-law, who always does things according to her promise. Her status in this family is undoubtedly the lowest, and this family is overwhelming her.

To describe this home in pieces is a perfect fit, the beauty of the past and the "dilapidated" now

    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.

    The internal comparison of Dolan's works is indeed not outstanding, but the overall works are still excellent. Many people directly deny this film because its sense of drama is stronger than the sense of cinema. However, it is obviously very inappropriate to use this kind of aesthetic conservatism to judge art films. The drama and close-up shots of Dolan's interviews are both to emphasize the contrast between the uselessness of language and the real sense of the body. This is also the first time that Dolan has focused on class issues in a movie.

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.
