At the beginning of the film, it was introduced that this is the life of my parents nothing extraordinary, nothing dramatic. In the historical line of the world financial crisis, World War II and other historical events, this sentence supported me to finish the film.

Usually in film and television works, there is always some drama, especially in this context. That's why this movie is invaluable. There was a period when I felt that the layout of the historical background was too strong to highlight the daily life of this small family. Later, I thought that the daily life of our life is indeed closely related to history and the country.

The protagonist's family has survived the war and is very lucky, but for the mother, everything is not perfect, and the son's hairstyle always wants him to comb through the summer, and he has not become a grandmother, but he also accepts it calmly, saying, look at them Even though she lived in that dump, she seemed happy, and her mother felt relieved and satisfied.

I watched the last half of the film crying. I went to Earnest to eat at the dining table alone, accompanied by the kitten Susie (the little one has the same name as me!)

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • Ethel Briggs: I could have married a deep-sea diver.

    Ernest Briggs: Well, why didn't ya?

    Ethel Briggs: Because I didn't love him.

  • [first lines]

    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.
