"Relocation for Children"

Unexpectedly, Sam Mendes can also be humorous and lighthearted. The previous two films about family were too heavy.

In fact, the two protagonists also face many difficulties in life, but from beginning to end, the husband and wife deal with it with an open-minded outlook on life.

Correspondingly, there are many relatives, friends, and strangers around them, plus their footprints all over the place, forming a big life map.

The characters created by the many supporting characters who are better known than the two leading actors are simply crazy. The neurotic characters reflect the "normal" of the protagonist and the "unusual" life they seek.

  • Burt Farlander: Do you promise to let our daughter be fat or skinny or any weight at all? Because we want her to be happy, no matter what. Being obsessed with weight is just too cliché for our daughter.

    Verona De Tessant: Yes, I do. Do you promise, when she talks, you'll listen? Like, really listen, especially when she's scared? And that her fights will be your fights?

    Burt Farlander: I do. And do you promise that if I die some embarrassing and boring death that you're gonna tell our daughter that her father was killed by Russian soldiers in this intense hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to save the lives of 850 Chechnyan orphans?

    Verona De Tessant: I do. Chechnyan orphans. I do. I do.
