August 2021-12-17 08:01:05

What would you do when you heard that the end of the world was only twenty days left? The wife of the middle-aged male protagonist abandoned the car and disappeared instantly, leaving him dangling and witnessing the various crazy behaviors of the people around him, and befriended a girl next door who had missed the plane home and was crying alone. . Since the girl next door returned all the letters sent to the wrong address to the host in the past few months, the two of them are even more inseparable. The girl has also vowed to match the host with the first girlfriend who sent the letter. The girl's greatest wish is to be able to Fly back to my hometown in England as soon as possible to reunite with my family. Afterwards, the two set out together for their eager goals, striving to fulfill their wishes on the last day of the earth. After wading through the mountains and rivers, and experiencing all kinds of strange incidents on the road, the relationship between the two people got closer and closer, and the fireworks became stronger and stronger. When the male protagonist gave up meeting his first love girlfriend and the girl gave up meeting his family, he finally found out at the last moment. True love is right in front of you, and those who are in love are each other, embracing and happily waiting for the last horrible moment.

The film is written and directed by the female screenwriter Lauren Scarfalia. This can be regarded as the first small test on the big screen. Steve Carell and the British neurotic beauty Keira Knightley teamed up. . Since showing extreme jaw movements in "Dangerous Method", Knightley can be regarded as a leader in this kind of interpretation, and her performance in this film is quite satisfactory, and she still expresses the mood of eagerly looking forward to meeting her relatives. ". Although this is a gimmicky film about the end of the world, most of the time is about feelings, love, and family relations. The son forgave the father, and the daughter thinks of the family. There are not too many thrilling scenes of God’s horse, and more. It was moved by various tears.

When a huge disaster comes, people think that too much time was wasted and too many feelings were not cherished. Using limited time to make up for all the mistakes becomes the greatest emotional sustenance. However, the ending of the male and female protagonists who are very different in age and has no chemical reaction is still a bit abrupt. I thought that the last passion of the two would not be enough. If they didn't think about it, they eventually became married, which is really amazing. accept. When watching the two listen to a small song and make a happy conversation, it is even more anxious and eager to look forward to the end of the world, why are you not coming!
