It Ends With Us - Price Prediction

Content warning: This story discusses domestic violence.

Brandon Sklenar explained that one difficult theme didn’t end with his last film.

The actor from “It Ends With Us,” who is 34 years old, explained how there seems to be a recurring theme of domestic violence narratives in his recent projects, such as the upcoming film “The Housemaid.” He believes there may be a reason why he has been drawn to share these heavy yet crucial stories.

For quite some time now, a certain theme has been woven into my life and experiences. A dear one of mine has been battling this issue for a significant period, and in whatever capacity I can, I’ve been offering guidance and support through this journey.

He stated, “It might be through divine providence that this topic continually surfaces within my circle, as it’s a subject that plays a significant role in my personal life.

In “It Ends With Us,” Sklenar portrayed Lily’s childhood friend and first love. He was the character played by Blake Lively, who he later aided in escaping from an abusive marriage with Justin Baldoni’s character, Ryle. Similarly, another film adaptation titled “The Housemaid” tackles the issue of domestic abuse, featuring Sydney Sweeney as Millie, a maid working for wealthy couple Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew (Sklenar).

Nevertheless, the actor from 1923 confessed that he hadn’t intentionally chosen roles with related themes one after another.

“It’s coincidental,” Sklenar added, “but it seems to keep coming about.”

In my enthusiastic fandom, I can’t help but gush about Sklenar’s latest masterpiece, “Drop.” This film resonated deeply with me as I found myself slipping into the shoes of a man who, much like myself, finds himself on a date with the captivating Meghann Fahy’s character. But here’s the twist – she’s a survivor, having bravely escaped her abusive husband. Yet, contrary to what one might expect, this poignant subplot isn’t the heart of the story. Instead, it’s woven intricately into the larger tapestry of emotions that Sklenar masterfully paints on the screen.

He noted that while we touch on the topic in the movie Drop, due to Violet’s background, it doesn’t take center stage as much as it does in It Ends with Us. In contrast, that particular film is centered around domestic violence and its narrative is entirely built upon it. The theme of domestic violence just happened to be present in this movie by coincidence.
