The London Family is a 2016 British hand-drawn animated film. The protagonists of the story are Raymond Briggs' parents, Ethel, the maid of a large Family in London, and Ernest, a milkman. The story tells the story of their life from love at first sight to marriage and children, to the final death of more than forty years. The film is based on a picture book by Raymond Briggs based on the story of his parents' real lives.
They met in London in 1928, in between through the outbreak of World War II, from depression to recovery, with upheaval and separation, but fortunately, they all had a thrilling time.
This is a movie worth revisiting many times, the picture is very healing, it is the most touching movie I have seen in recent times, and it is also a movie that will cry after watching it. The story is not forcibly moved, but slowly tells the life of the parents, a life that is plain and plain, but warm and touching.
The story of the two is probably the love that everyone yearns for, from the love at first sight to the marriage, from nothing, to flowers and grass, cats, you, each other's companionship, each other's protection. Even if there are different hobbies in life, there are chicken feathers in a place after marriage, but from beginning to end, I will cry with you and laugh with you, there is no harshness, no noise, and I will stay together for life.
The education part of the child is also the most common Chinese parent. Parents love their children deeply, but because of different concepts, they want their sons to do what they think is promising, and they will also be angry because of their children's shame, but they will also show off their children's achievements to neighbors. Together, they witnessed the growth of the child and felt the child's rebellion, and as the child grew up, he and his parents also went farther and farther away, and the companionship became less and less.
At the end of the film, the wife suffers from Alzheimer's disease and even forgets her husband, and soon dies. Shortly thereafter, her husband also left with a heart attack.
Watching their lives go through a little bit, seeing a little bit of time passing, you will find that life is really short, and the time that can accompany each other is really very little, so when you run with all your strength, don't forget to look back at your parents, and remember to call your parents after watching the movie.
