The style of painting is great, some signs of the past, remember the past, but also cherish the people in front of you

In the old cinema there was a place to play the piano in front of the screen. I'm not a maid, I'm a maid, and I'm getting married soon, me too haha. I just met, Ernest whistled to a maid who was cleaning the glass at work. The first two days were like this. On the third day, the maid did not show up at the window because the master called. On the fifth day, Ernest directly knocked on the door with the belt. Holding a bouquet of flowers, I asked the beautiful maid if she wanted to go to the movies together tonight, what time did she get off work, oh the movie starts just one hour later. After watching it, I walked past a concert and made an appointment for next week's itinerary. After that, I met my parents, looked at the new house, quit my job as a maid, got married and took pictures, added new furniture, curtains, sofas, wardrobes, mattresses, and fixed the fireplace, coal silo, and water pipes. A short trivia for parents, Ernest is a milkman, pretending to give it to his wife all day, the wife doesn't know it's him haha, a life full of fun. It's like my wife said that I was originally married to a deep-sea diver, and Ernest pretended to be angry and asked why you didn't marry. The wife said that because I didn't love him and hugged Ernest behind my back, the simple details of life were full of love and strength. Ernest prepared a surprise for his wife by shipping a half-length wall mirror. His wife Ethel also prepared a surprise for him - he has a child. Ernest was still delivering milk when the baby was born, and the doctor said it would be better for older women to give birth to one. Ethel's birthday Ernest's greeting card is getting bigger and bigger (remember that), taking a photo of the one-year-old baby with Ethel and hanging it in the closet at home. Grandma came to visit the children, TV came into every home, Ernest and Ethel's understanding of sound, movies at home, moving pictures, this new form of entertainment, changing, washing and ironing diapers, the more children The faster it grows, the more expensive it is. Couples bring their children to the park. Ethel was heartbroken over the tapestry cut off by his son at the beginning of school. Two couples chatted on the beach, and his son was building a sand island. He was worried about the British appeasement policy. Gas masks became fashionable. Finally, the United Kingdom officially declared war on Germany. Away from the city, far from his home, in order to avoid the war, his parents cherish the letters sent by his son from the countryside. Mobilized before the war, every household's gates, fences, bicycles, boilers, and iron products were donated to the country, planes dropped bombs, firefighting, maintenance and repairs, Ernest and Ethel went to the countryside to visit their son's sojourn. Sweet life moment: The government stipulates that there should be bunkers in the room, Ernest installed an iron fence and painted it brown, Ethel said pink brown. The government stipulates that the water in the bathtub should be at most 5 inches high. Ethel said that those who are fatter should have more water. Ernest said that the government also said that they should bathe together in the future haha. After the bomb was dropped, the building collapsed, killing people, Ernest as a The anti-volunteers didn't save anyone, and Ethel comforted him. Christmas decorations, discussion of couples who pay for the welfare system, and I miss my son in the countryside. Mom gets a promotion, son can go home, dad and son sing songs again. The air defense bunker still couldn't stop the bombing, and the son's teddy bear was cut by the window glass that was opened by the bombing, but the roses bloomed, and life could still be lived, even if it was difficult. Victory in Europe Day arrives and everyone celebrates in the streets, but there are also families whose children are lost forever. There's politics at home too haha, I support Labour mums, shut up baby. Dad supported the Labour Party, and Mum still felt that Churchill saved everyone's lives during the war and was a real gentleman. There was a small envelope at the door, and his son Raymond passed the scholarship exam to go to grammar school. Ernest said he hoped his son would not be stubborn. Raymond wanted to plant a pear tree, and the pear pit was given by his aunt who lived there. Ernest hoped that the tree wouldn't grow too big. Ethel said don't hit his son and said that I like eating pears too. Before his son goes to school, he has to make clothes. Ethel takes his son to tailor his clothes and tells his neighbors that his son is going to grammar school. What to learn? French, Latin and Maths. Isn't math just arithmetic? Oh not algebra. What about sports, do you play football? No, they both play football. Ernest said you shouldn't tell your neighbors about this, after all his son failed the exam and could only be a mason. Ethel said can't I be proud of my son? The husband said, that's up to you. Ernest's milk cart has also changed from hand-push to electric, and still delivers milk along a nearby street in the past. Ernest's friend said that his wife was like a wolf and a tiger. He asked him to do him a favor. He said that I should still deliver milk. Don't be unhappy, brother. (This joke is going downhill.) Raymond stole a club from a golf club and was taken home by the police. Neighbors saw it. Ethel just said that the kid was helping the case and was praised by the detective. 5w wartime brides went to the United States with their children, and Ernest said that as long as the Americans pulled them, they would follow. Ethel asked what it was, and Ernest faltered and said okay, I don't know what everyone said. The two couples went on a bicycle outing, lying on the grassy slope, discussing that the highway network will hinder the laying of green belts, and the countryside will also be industrialized and urbanized. After graduating from Raymond School, they didn't want to continue studying grammar and wanted to go to art school. The couple didn't agree with the letter, but finally let their son go. The son who came back from college is not used to his father's work style (washing his hair with cold water in the kitchen sink after work), the father told his wife that people said it was a teenage darling, but they didn't know what to do. Parents didn't know what electric was when they were young, but now trams, refrigerators, electric thermostats, electric Washing machine, into thousands of households. Minimum meat rations Dad is complaining, Mum is laughing at husband It's all about the Labour government you support. The son has a girlfriend, and the girlfriend is wearing a long dress and black stockings. The mother said how to find a good job with such long hair. When a 26-year-old congresswoman becomes a candidate in the newspapers, Ernest complains that the damn Conservatives are, and Ethel scoffs that it's the Labour government you're backing for equality, and she can Getting married, having children, working and joining the military can even fly a plane, right? And educated. Ernest said I wanted her more for my job. Ethel said no, they were educated. You haven't had it, have you? I am also uneducated. So we are not members, but who wants to be a member? (The couple bickering is bickering, but they can always give a step down haha) Ernest's hairline shift, Ethel's reading glasses, all show that parents are getting old. My son received a draft letter. My parents watched my son walk in front of the closet. My mother said that fortunately you work as a draftsman in the office. Do you want to be an officer, son? Raymond said officers wanted top students, from aristocratic schools, and I was just a hillbilly at a suburban grammar school. Mom said, but officers' boots and uniforms aren't as common as the ones you wear now. After being discharged from the army, the son has his long hair and rides a scooter. The three graduation certificates of his son are hung on the wall at home. During leisure time, the couple sits in the garden, with two deck chairs, and the domestic cat is on tiptoe on their calves. Taking a break, Ernest looked at the newspaper and talked about the legalization of homosexuality. Ethel knitted a sweater, made a pot of tea, and had a leisurely time. Ernest gave Ethel a surprise and took her for a drive in a car, and they were all over fifty years old and had such a life style. Got another letter from Raymond, when Ernest read the paper that manual laborers made more money in a week than he made, and Ethel said you're not a manual laborer. In the letter, the son is teaching part-time at the art college. Ernest just said that the part-time job is not very good. When he saw the money he made, he lamented that his son earned more in a day than he earned in a week. The son also said that he would bring his girlfriend with him on the 30th. When I came, I also brought a bottle of wine haha, although the first time my mother saw her son, she said that I will use a comb to trim your hair in front of your future wife. Although parents are ready to welcome their son early in the morning. The son is going to get married at the marriage place, and the father said that the way they are getting married is such that they are not religious. Mom said I didn't want them to be religious, I just wanted them to get married in church. The son chose not to have children because his wife was schizophrenic, and the mother said that I should not be a grandmother. The son chose to buy an abandoned small duplex, The location is a bit out of place and the shape is a bit old, but it belongs to a nature reserve. My father said oh no, my dream is like this. Dad is retired, his retirement certificate is hung on the wall, man has landed on the moon, and he keeps walking and walking. This movie, as a son, recalls the life of his parents and gradually comes to an end. My mother is in a wheelchair. My father pushed my mother and said that we used to push a stroller to come here. My mother said that I am sitting in the stroller now. (It's so funny) I never thought that my mother was suffering from forgetfulness and forgot her husband. She also forgot to receive a greeting card after Christmas yesterday, and she naively said whether I was a lucky little girl. When she died, her mother's body was in the morgue, her son and father were leaning against each other, weeping silently, and it was safest to have someone to support you when you lost a loved one. After that, Dad lived alone. Fortunately, there was an old cat to accompany him, we ate breakfast together (the cat was hanging on Dad's back like a scarf), watched TV together, and slept together. One day my father left without saying goodbye. Here, the father's hand has become rough, and the son is holding his father's thin and now weak arm, looking at the weak father on the bed with his head half upturned and his mouth half open, the clock is running bit by bit, but the memory is always stay in the heart. Mom and Dad's wedding photos, the pear tree planted when they were young, this is the final ending of the film that the last son made as the director's hand-painted book for his parents. It’s just like what the movie said, ordinary and real. I want to record these details, it’s theirs, but also each of us. After experiencing bumps, we are also happy, and this is not exactly ours. now? Cherish the present. Dad's hands became rough, the son held his father's thin and now weak arm, and looked at the weakness of his father on the bed with his head half upside down and his mouth open, the clock was ticking, but the memory has always stayed in heart.

Ethel & Ernest quotes

  • [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.

    Raymond Briggs: [with Jean, looking at the full grown pear tree in Ethel and Ernest's back yard] I grew it from a pip.
