In "The End of the World", Bobby’s character is undoubtedly innocent and warm like a piece of jade. He never wants to hurt people, but only hopes to express his inner love in his own way. Jonathan’s mother called him Called "angel", Claire calls him "a strange and mysterious creature that can do anything". He is willing to bring unreserved sincerity and tenderness to anyone he loves. It is precisely because of this that he can become the same as Claire, The reconciler and lubricant of this unusual love established by Jonathan. Bobby lost his relatives one after another while growing up, but got love in Jonathan’s family. His life was full of ignorance and confusion, but he seemed to live on love as a nutrient. When Claire jokes "is there anything you" couldnt do?" He even said frankly "I can't be alone".
But the family that once belonged to the three eventually ended with Claire's unbearable. Claire once walked at the forefront of open thoughts, thinking that establishing an unconventional relationship is "freedom without fear of outsiders' vision", but in the end he still tortures himself "Maybe I am not so different from others and can't bear this breaking convention. everything". Some people think that this is Claire’s irresistible love and yearning for traditional family relationships, but I see more of the possessiveness that is difficult to suppress in love. Even when Claire is determined to quit, she still treats Bobby before she leaves. With a little expectation, I asked "do you want come with us?" and "do you want come with us?" twice.
To be honest, the tone of the film’s overall character portrayal is too romantic and gentle. I don’t know how many times "I love you" and "I love you too" appear in the movie. Sexuality is no longer an issue to be discussed, the only thing in the movie. Once there was a discussion related to sexuality when Claire saw Bobby dancing in a nightclub and exclaimed "why all the good men are gay?" Jonathan said "no, Bobby is not gay.". The last time I had a similar feeling, I was afraid that it would go back to watching "Magic Girl Sakura" in early 18th. A little closer is also "Bnana Fish" I watched in early 19th. The character of Bobby is simply a little angel who does not exist in the dream.
But there was a scene in the movie that made me feel very embarrassed. It was the news that Claire announced that she was pregnant during the quarrel at Alice’s house. The scene reminded me of the Qiong Yao drama clip that was dissed by netizens some time ago, "Who is Dad? The important thing is that the three of us love each other." Although the specific settings of the two scenes are much different, after all, the boundaries between the three people are very clear in terms of sexual behavior. Jonathan is obviously the outsider, but I really hope to change the plot here in a more graceful way.
Plus, Colin Farrell really picked it well. This eyebrow plays a role like Bobby, looking like a stream of blue and green water. Ahhh! SOS.
