‘It Ends With Us’ Director And Star Justin Baldoni Talks Choices Made To “Protect Lily’s Character”
'It Ends With Us' star and director Justin Baldoni discussed both rhis oles on the movie adapted from Colleen Hoover's book in an interview.
Based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, the story centers on Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) who first encounters Ryle in a close-up rooftop moment before meeting him again later after she opens her Boston flower shop. I was really focused on what are the great qualities that he has and then stepping back as a filmmaker, it was really important for me to inject as much goodness into Ryle as possible because I also had to protect Lily’s character as the movie simply won’t work if you don’t believe that she really loves him.” The idea was to have this series of recovered memories during the final abuse scene so both [Lily] and the audience would realize what had been happening,” Producer Alex Saks told Deadline in a separate interview.
