The End, a 2024 musical, stands out for its smaller scale and innovative approach, emphasizing the songs and characters over flashy spectacle. Set in a luxurious bunker after a global meltdown, the film follows a quirky family grappling with their reality and the arrival of a mysterious stranger.
2024 was a year in which musical fans rushed out to the cinema in more significant numbers than ever before. Wicked became a surprising phenomenon that captured the same enthusiasm as the original stage production, and Emilia Perez became a major awards season contender, earning a record-breaking number of Golden Globe nominations.
Elsewhere, studio blockbusters like Moana 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King were reliant on their original soundtracks, and the upcoming biopic Better Man is already earning a high amount of anticipation for fans of Robbie Williams. It’s generally the case that musicals need a significant budget to be true spectacles, but that doesn’t mean that there cannot be innovative films that can work with a much smaller budget. The End is easily the best musical of 2024, as its smaller scale and less flashy approach ended up putting more emphasis on the songs and characters. What Is ‘The End’ About? Close Set in the aftermath of a global meltdown that caused humanity’s few survivors to isolate themselves in lockdown, The End centers on a quirky family that becomes trapped in a luxurious bunker, where they attempt to maintain a happy existence by pretending that there is nothing wrong. While the mother (Tilda Swinton) has become increasingly neurotic and the father (Michael Shannon) begins to feel guilty for his implied involvement in the apocalyptic event itself, the son (George MacKay) begins to feel that he needs something more for his existence to be worthwhile. His dreams seem to come true when an enigmatic stranger (Moses Ingram) appears at their shelter and is taken in to be nursed back to health. As she begins to fall in love with the son, the dynamics of the family begin to change as they address the possibility of changing their lifestyle altogether
