The End is a post-apocalyptic musical film that will be released in theaters on December 6, 2024. Under a salt mine, a wealthy family lives in an opulent underground bunker in this Joshua Oppenheimer-directed film.
A girl discovers their underground bunker twenty years after this family triggered an environmental disaster. The family’s whole existence is upended by this girl’s arrival, which also challenges the suppressed feelings of shame, regret, denial, and their part in causing the end of the world.
The idea of this film guarantees that the songs aren’t upbeat, in contrast to other conventional musicals. They are depressing and solemn, which is appropriate for a film about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.

What to anticipate from The End
This isn’t your typical musical but calls into question the roles wealthy families and industrialists play in the emergence of an environmental disasters. Many wealthy people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are reportedly building doomsday bunkers and tunnels in a bid to survive an impending apocalypse.
Moreover, the girl in this musical acts as a mirror and prompts the family to reflect upon their actions in perpetuating the coming of doomsday. Her arrival upends the parents’ intricately woven narratives. It also touches on the theme of how we tend to rationalize our guilt-laden decisions.
In most of the movie, the Mother is seen fussing over the paintings, while the Father is busy writing a memoir.
Oppenheimer wrote all the lyrics of the songs in this film, with Josh Schmidt composing the music.
Everything about the End
The names of the characters in the musical are kept a secret. They just go by the names of Bulter, Doctor, Girl, Son, Mother, and Father. Moses Ingram plays Girl, George Mackay plays Son, Michael Shannon plays Father, and Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton plays Mother.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that Oppenheimer came up with the concept to film the lives of a wealthy family in an underground bunker while he was working on a documentary about a very wealthy family.
The family collects pricey artwork, wines, and other items. Their 20-year-old kid, born in the bunker, has no recollection of life aboveground, but the parents do recall the outside world prior to the catastrophe.
The audience is drawn to this musical because of the son’s innocence. He starts to doubt everything his parents told him when the outside girl shows up. In the trailer, the son even states, “None of it’s true.” When Son develops feelings for Girl, the situation becomes even more complex.
