I was really moved by such a life story that really told about "supporting each other". It is also about the long-term flow of water, and it is also about mutual support. Why is this cartoon a hundred times better than Feng Xiaogang's "Only Yun Knows"?
Because real experience and "hearsay" are not the same. Feng Xiaogang lost very badly this time. The story he heard from his brothers was adapted into a movie. Without his true feelings, he would appear hypocritical.
This British hand-drawn animated film, adapted from the award-winning and best-selling picture book by Raymond Briggs based on the real life of his parents, tells the story of Raymond Briggs' parents, an ordinary British couple who met and fell in love in early 1928 and passed away in 1971. , Because of the real, because of the ordinary, every bit of it is completely real, and the emotion of life without pretentiousness really makes people understand what it means to be "plain is true".
In fact, most families are like this couple. Although they have experienced changes such as wars in the great era, most families have survived without danger. Just like my mother-in-law and grandfather, who went through the Cultural Revolution, went through the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the story of the real "destroyed family" is still far away from ordinary people like us. I only remember that when I was a child, there was a neighbor's grandfather downstairs who was lost in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. One eye is a veteran who really went to the battlefield, and my grandfather is a literary soldier, so those joys and sorrows in the war, pain and torture are very fortunately not happened in my ordinary family. What's more, watching my mother-in-law and grandpa, like this London couple, live in the same house all their lives, noisily, but never give up and live their whole life.
An empty house has gone from having nothing to becoming more and more homely; a couple has gone from just the two of them to having a son and a daughter-in-law. The story of a lifetime is neither long nor short. It seems easy but very difficult for someone to accompany you for a lifetime. Although he supports different political parties, his mother's "descent" often drives his father crazy, but when his mother is wronged and uncomfortable, his father always "i know, i know" and takes his mother into his arms for comfort. There was no story of earth-shattering tears of ghosts and gods. Even if he encountered his son's rebellion and his worries and incomprehension about his future, he still chose to accept it. The most enviable thing is sitting in the yard together in our spare time, reading the newspaper and I knitting sweaters, even if it is silent, it is not awkward.
After watching "London Family", people truly realize that the company of "I wish to win the heart of one person, the white head will not be separated" is the longest confession of love. Sometimes we humans desire too much and want too much and eventually lose it. Knowing that the couple died because of old age in the end, but they still cried like a mess. It's because I want this kind of love so much. I think after watching "London Family", I really understand that pursuing the love that I want in my life is nothing but that.
