When the female protagonist quit her job as a maid in a high-class family and shouted that I was getting married, the male protagonist happily shouted me too, and I understood that this animation will definitely tell us the truth about life in ordinary interpretation.
Although it is an animated film in 2016, it has been ignored by me. Now I chose this film on a peaceful afternoon from the perspective of a 20-year-old girl. The purpose was to pass the time. The urge to write something.
"London Family" is based on a true story, and the screenwriter is the boy in the film. It tells the life of a working-class couple from meeting, falling in love, getting married, having children, and cooking oil and salt in the context of World War II. This family, like all small families, is involuntarily suffering and happy in war and peace under the impetus of the changing times. Apart from the family destruction caused by the war, as a girl who has not yet married, as a girl in the 21st century Young people in the age of anxiety suddenly have a different view on the word "ordinary". For most of us, ordinary is not a choice, but nature, but it is this nature that makes us want to use all our strength to break through and destroy, but forget to obey and accept. Because we always think that ordinary is not great enough, ordinary is not interesting enough.
At the beginning of the film, it starts with the figure of the old son, and at the end of the film, the parents leave one after another as the ending. It is clear that this is a similar life for everyone. It is so ordinary that it can't be ordinary, but I can't help but feel sad. I think this It is because love is integrated into this natural process, and once everything is contaminated with love, it will be a pity to destroy it, and it will be too painful to lose it.
