Recommended! ! ! After reading it, I have a lot of aftertastes. The content of the article uses a simple time narrative method to describe the life of the screenwriter’s parents. As the screenwriter himself said, my parents’ life was very ordinary, not drama, and no divorce. This is probably the portrayal of many ordinary people’s lives. The screenwriter’s parents have experienced world wars and died of illness and death. What moved me most was their optimistic attitude in the face of life’s hardships and setbacks, especially the screenwriter’s father. In the face of the war , you can still sing happily. There is also the screenwriter's mother, when she learned that her daughter-in-law was mentally ill and she couldn't hold her grandson, she didn't complain too much.

    After so many years, Londoners still walk into the subway station with a Cockney grabbing a copy of Evening Standard. Ethel and the Ernest family never left. The rivalry between the two parties has also been passed down from generation to generation. Ah, the best days of TAT are every ordinary day. Only please no more wars. Please keep on living.

    Bits and pieces of life, crying like a dog, crying like a dog...Short commentary or something, I'll write it when my mood calms down. | The ordinary life of a family in the historical background, the father who supports the Labour Party is optimistic and proud, and the mother who supports the Conservative Party is both insightful and complaining - as if my grandmother believed in that sentence, happy families are all similar. PS It's not that the family is rich, it's just that the overall living standard of the society is high...

Ethel & Ernest quotes

    Raymond Briggs: [voice over] There was nothing extraordinary about my Mum and Dad, nothing dramatic, no divorce or anything, but they were my parents and I wanted to remember them by doing a picture book. It's a bit odd really, having a book about my parents up there in the best seller list among all the football heroes and cookbooks. They'd be proud of that, I suppose, or rather probably embarrassed too. I'd imagine they'd say, "It wasn't like that," or, "How can you talk about that?" Well, I have, and this is their story.
