I don’t know when it started. It is often accepted that family love exists only in Chinese families. In foreign countries, parents are only responsible for raising you until you are 18 years old. After that, the children are left alone. It doesn't matter!
As I get older, I feel more and more that this view is too one-sided! And this film is like everyone showing the face of an ordinary British family at a funeral!
The eldest son, a well-known writer, lives far away in New York, USA, and has been separated from his family. As the eldest son and a successful person in the family, he is unwilling to share his father's funeral expenses with his younger brother.
The second son, an ordinary person, lives in the shadow of his elder brother all the year round. He has completed a novel by himself, but he does not dare to let others appreciate it because of his inferiority.
The fiance of the second son's cousin also made a series of jokes at the funeral due to accidental consumption of drugs.
The best part is that a stranger came to the funeral, claiming to extort a sum of money due to an indescribable and mysterious relationship with the protagonist of the funeral, which pushed the whole movie to a climax.
The funeral at the end of life, a series of events that should have happened on the most tragic occasion, was made into a comedy, and finally it was a happy ending. This is also the highest level of black comedy!
