00:00The End
00:04The End is your first fictional film
00:07but in this film
00:10we can find all the themes
00:13that we have met
00:14also in your documentaries
00:16but you choose
00:19maybe the most conventional
00:22surely the most
00:24the most fictional
00:27of genres of cinema
00:29as the musical
00:31That's absolutely right
00:32The musical is a genre
00:34that's totally open
00:35about its own artifice
00:37about its own fictional
00:39fictitious form
00:41people don't just burst out
00:42into song
00:43it's something that's not realist
00:45I therefore say
00:46it's not conventional either
00:47but in that sense
00:51it's the perfect genre
00:53for exploring the fictions
00:54that we tell ourselves
00:55the lies that we tell ourselves
00:57to ease our regret
00:59our ability to lie to ourselves
01:01the awful consequences
01:03of that self-deception
01:04because of course
01:06the musical's always been
01:07the quintessential genre
01:09of a completely blind optimism
01:13really for exploring denial
01:15delusion
01:15and the nature of fiction itself
01:17The End appears to be
01:19in a certain sense
01:20about the near future
01:22the near future perhaps
01:23but really I think it's
01:25an allegory for the present
01:28of the past
01:33The End
01:33The End
