Once you leave, you'll never come back

If you leave, you will never come back. The story can be summed up in one sentence. A man returns home and announces that he is about to die. But when you think about it, there are many questions: I went home because I left, so why did I leave in the first place? What is the reason for declaring death to my family, just because they are my family, what does my return mean to my family? is it necessary? The main color of the whole film is blue and brown, a little dull and sad. Ineffective Communication The most notable feature of a movie script is to interrupt long and trivial dialogue, unlike ordinary scripts where every line is carefully designed to have its own meaning. These conversations happen in our lives, and they make no sense or even logic. But in real life, we often have this kind of communication. Although there is a lot of "nonsense" in the film, the director wants the audience to pay attention to the body movements of the characters and the large and dense close-up shots. Focusing on the characters, in one-on-one or one-to-many conversations, the male protagonist Louis appears embarrassed and at a loss. Louis often loses his mind in the conversation with his family members. There are a lot of empty shots in the film to show the heart of the character and other people. a sense of alienation between them. Twelve years away, even relatives will be unfamiliar. I started talking and said a lot, but it was useless. Because what really matters is. We started talking and said a lot, but it was useless, because the really important things were not spoken about the lack of memory. Most of the film is depressing and bleak, and the pictures in the two memory parts are rich and colorful. One is his childhood memories with his father, and the other is falling in love with his lover. The reason why he remembers (although the memory is very vague) is because he finds that his home is not what it used to be, and his memory of home is still in the past. He wanted to escape reality through reminiscence, the fact that he would not actually be able to return home.

It's Only the End of the World quotes

  • 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.

  • La mère: I don't understand you. But I love you. I love you. No one will take that away from me.
