" Family in London " tells the story of an ordinary British couple from work, in love, marriage, having children, and then getting old.
Although the life of this couple is ordinary, they are loving and loving. From them, they can see how most ordinary couples spend their lives.
The daily marriage of the male and female protagonists in the film is romantic and warm, a bit like the domestic version of "Parents' Love".
Although Ernest, the male lead, is just a milkman in the film, he treats his wife Ethel to the extreme gentleness and consideration.
The most touching love words are I know
Perhaps, the most touching love words in the world are not I love you, but I know.
Every time Ethel was sad and upset, Ernest would hug her, pat her back gently, and then say I know.
Until Ethel died of illness and old age, Ernest said for the first time I don t know.
After Ethel passed away, Ernest would still prepare her tableware when eating, just as Ethel was still with him.
A person's room is too quiet, Ernest will turn the TV loudly to hide the endless emptiness and loneliness.
When I went to bed at night, the place where Ethel once slept was left to the little black cat Susan to fill it.
Not long after, Ernest also fell ill and followed Ethel and left.
If it weren't for the fact that one person had left and the other person followed closely? Losing one person is not scary. What's scary is that after the other person leaves, he has a omnipresent longing.
Wishes and you, always choose you
When Ethel was giving birth, Ernest was working outside. When he accidentally saw an ambulance parked at the door of his house, he immediately realized that his wife Ethel might be giving birth.
Ernest ran home in a hurry. The first sentence was not how the child was, but how his wife was. He asked twice in a row until he confirmed with the nurse that his wife had nothing to do.
Ethel was originally an elderly mother. The doctor told Ernest that Ethel could not have another child in the future, otherwise he would face the problem of protecting the big and the small.
Ernest has always had the wish of a big family, but after hearing the doctor said that rebirth would lead to losing his wife, Ernest finally gave up his wish and chose his wife Ethel.
Funny is instinct, loyalty is to choose
Like most marriages, Ernest and Ethel have also encountered marital crisis.
Ernest's client, because he could not satisfy his wife, took the initiative to ask Ernest to have sex with his wife.
Faced with the temptation to take the initiative to deliver it to the door, Ernest firmly refused.
We often hear a saying: "Like is to be presumptuous, love is to be restrained."
Really loving someone requires us to constantly overcome our instincts when facing temptations and then choose loyalty.
After all, the difference between humans and animals is that although humans have instinctive bad habits, people can choose to restrain instincts and refuse to be fickle.
The sense of ceremony is the preservative for marriage
Two people get married for a long time and will inevitably be dull. Therefore, no matter how good the marriage is, you must learn to manage it. The sense of ceremony is the most effective preservative for marriage.
On Ethel's birthday, Ernest will send beautiful flowers and cards. Ethel's surprise to Ernest's preparation was a sincere thank you.
After busy work, Ernest and Ethel would ride their bikes outdoors to relax, lie on the green lawn in the countryside, bask in the sun and chat.
Even after middle-aged and old age, Ernest still did not forget to prepare a small surprise for Ethel. He bought a new car and parked it outside, and asked Ethel to guess if there was anything new. Then Ernest gentlemanly invited Ethel to go for a ride with him. After Ethel got into the car, Ernest actually kissed her. Look, they are so old and still in love.
Ernest's love for Ethel is enviable. Of course, Ethel is also a good wife, and she deserves Ernest's pure love.
First of all, Ethel knows how to support her husband and son’s choices.
Ethel asked her husband do you think you will be promoted? Ernest said that he likes to work as a milkman and not an office worker because the milkman is free and easy to work. After hearing this, Ethel did not blame his husband for being unprofitable, but silently supported his choice.
Son Raymond decided to drop out of grammar school to go to art school. If he had continued to study grammar school, Raymond could go to a prestigious school to find a good job and make a lot of money, but since his son likes art, Ethel finally chose to respect him.
What's more rare is that the girl Raymond married later suffered from schizophrenia and could not have children. Ethel did not stop his son because of this, but instead felt that the girl had this disease.
We often say that we should be tolerant and respect each other in marriage, but it is difficult to do it. Ethel's ability to do this is probably one of the secrets of her happy marriage.
In addition, Ethel is not pretentious in his relationship, and always upholds a generous and understanding attitude.
When Ethel and Ernest were on their first date, they wanted to go to the dance hall to dance, but Ernest thought it was too expensive and it was more affordable to go to the church hall. Ethel was not angry or felt that Ernest was too stingy, but happily agreed.
Ethel resigned. When Ernest helped her move things, he complained that Ethel's employer was an arrogant capitalist, and also said that Ethel was a maid. Ethel was not angry but just corrected that Ernest himself was not a maid but a maid.
Insensitivity is needed in life, but in fact, a little insensitivity is also needed in getting along with each other. The so-called insensitivity is the magnanimity and understanding of the partner. With magnanimity and understanding, the two people will quarrel a lot and get along more harmoniously.
Ernest and Ethel are typical loves that go in two directions. Although they are the most ordinary and ordinary couples in Britain, their love story is very touching.
How should ordinary couples love each other and spend their whole lives? Just look at Ernest and Ethel.
In fact, "A Family in London" is the British version of "Parents' Love".
is very ordinary but very loving.
