The End has a center: six stories of people on the last day of their lives.  Everyone is anxiously anticipating "The End". Most are about to commit suicide, or some metaphorical equivalent, but the mushroom cloud with which the film begins and ends reminds us that, we await "the grand suicide of the human race". It simply takes as a given that societal and personal sicknesses are inextricably intertwined.

电影的中心内容就是关于六个人生命中最后一天的故事。每个人都在焦急地等待着“结束”。多数人是要自杀,有的仅限于隐喻意义上,但开头和结尾处的蘑菇云提醒大家,我们等待的是“人类的伟大自杀”。它告诉我们一个简单的事实,社会与个人的疾病是不可避免地纠缠在一起的。
