  Selling over 40,000 copies, Ethel & Ernest is Raymond Briggs graphic noble that has been turned in an animation film. The film’s soft feel work of animation strongly bring out the life stories of a parent surviving through real historical events from Raymond Briggs original piece. The story begins with Raymond Briggs reminiscing the story told by his parents. London of 1920, a lady’s maid marries Ernest, a socialist milkman. The humble couple is happily married together with their son Raymond and experiences the World War II. Ethel & Ernest is dedicated time’s memoir?the film’s youth and its purity, passion, crisis, depression and with its personal completion reflects the meaning of life. With commanding appearance, actor Jim Broadbent and Brenda Blethyn have participated in voice acting. [JANG Byungwon]
