However, Jack and Frank have been friends for many years. How can Daphne choose between the two men without destroying their friendship?

A journey of depression and healing

The film is melancholic, sad, and even a bit decadent. With Daphne’s resignation, love-breaking, and moving house, it brings out a major turning point in her life experience. From broken details and fleeting memory clips, it shows how she embarked on the same search as her mother. On the road of love, the wandering heart cannot stay for whom, causing harm to others and oneself, which is reluctant.

When Frank, the "walking hormone", she used a strong body and an erratic body. Acts tempted her, and she soon became a slave to desire. However, Jack, who is smart and promising, can give her an absolute sense of security. His level of consideration is enviable.

Music tells the pain of the past

The film uses handwritten fonts to show the messages shared by the heroes and heroines, which truthfully reflects that modern people rely on mobile phones to fall in love, because a message has become the norm, but it also makes people reflect that the message has no emotion and temperature, and everything can only be supplemented by their own brains. , Even pain and comfort are difficult to convey accurately in words. If the heroine can’t explain the suffering, let’s use songs instead! From the trailer to the feature film, the most fascinating part of the movie is "Mecca" sung by "Wild Beasts", which interprets the heroine moving forward in desire and fear, referring to the love triangle not the beginning or end of love, but a relay station at best, forcing her to rest. , To repair the broken self and get back the dominance of life.

The film sings Daphne in the song carousel sometimes joyful and sometimes melancholy. Shalyn Woodley rarely sings in the film. She is initially shy and then shines. It is refreshing, and she is looking forward to her golden voice in the future.

Unexpected ending

The movie is not so much a story of a love triangle as it is a journey of self-recovery. In the dim lighting and melancholic face, it reflects the past pain, and expresses depression and loss in the song that tells the heart. The most wonderful thing is that the ending allows the heroine's identity and role to be elevated to another level. She is no longer a lover who repeats her mother's mistakes, but has the ability to give love. Surprisingly, when the heroine was undergoing tremendous changes, the reaction of the two men exceeded the audience's expectations, and the heroine's bravery and not the change of pre-determined position was pleasantly surprised.

"Endings, Beginnings" is a masterpiece of love that a broken lover will feel after seeing it. It reminds you of the moments when you have been injured or hurt. It has not destined you to be right or wrong, and it will not even tell you that things will get better, although It's a bit cruel in some way, but there is also a kind of power that emerges from the cocoon.
