The End
movie·R·Jan 10, 2025·
The film weaves in moderate progressive themes like climate guilt and capitalist critique alongside subtle diverse casting, but these stay secondary to its musical family drama and personal reckonings. This balanced approach lands at a neutral 5/10 woke score.
The film's core premise centers on an environmental apocalypse explicitly linked to the wealthy family's past actions in oil and industry, framing their bunker existence as denial and rationalization of guilt over destroying the world.
This embeds progressive climate guilt narratives and critiques of capitalist elites hoarding resources while ignoring consequences, with the outsider Girl's arrival forcing a reckoning on acceptance, love, and change. Casting includes a Black actress as the disruptive stranger in an otherwise predominantly white ensemble, adding a subtle outsider-perspective layer, alongside an incidental aging queer butler character.
However, these elements remain secondary to the musical family drama and personal self-deception themes rather than driving identity politics, race-swapping of established characters, or overt lectures on systemic oppression. No widespread audience backlash labels it as prioritizing message over story, and creator statements emphasize human failings and guilt without activist mandates. The progressive influence is noticeable in thematic framing but not foundational or overwhelming.
