get what they want

Typical British comedy! The director arranged so many people, and in the end, basically everyone got something at the funeral. Daniel stepped out of his brother's shadow and bravely showed his work to others; Jane escaped from her picky mother-in-law, and could leave the country mansion to relax in New York; Simon was no longer afraid of his powerful husband-in-law Victor, and joined Ma. Sha gets married; irresponsible Justin comes out of infatuation when he hears news of Martha's pregnancy...even Howard, begging for a pigment mutation on his opponent with his poop worries. Funerals bring everyone together, unease, worry, and other negative emotions come to a head, and then get rid of it. After the turmoil, everything calmed down. Get what you want! Funerals are people's peak moments, but others' peak moments.
