      Even if we fall into shit, we can still breathe if we are willing to stick our heads out!

      Parents always feel like they give what they can, and they do give what they can, but they give what they feel they should give, and because of their limited mobility, they fail to give even what they wish to give. Given, like that glass castle, it is always in the state of the drawing. Even they are not only limited in their mobility, but also have personality flaws, and they often dig out shit holes for us by themselves. But what? Even in shit, we can still breathe if we're willing to...

      Film Review, The Glass Castle

      Two weeks, watching four "true story" adaptations, tired!

      classic work

      I thought the father was hateful when I saw it before, but I found the greatness of this family after watching it. Everyone is not perfect. Almost every character in the film is like this. The role of the father is the most suitable to illustrate this point. Maybe some of his actions hurt other people, but his love for his family, his paranoia about his dreams are admirable, and in any case, this is a great father role. Some plots may only be fully appreciated by audiences who have experienced...

      May we all learn to love

      Compared with the jumps in the movie, the original description is more detailed and delicate, such as the bullying and exclusion in school because of poverty and low status. For example, the sadness and fear of turning over the food discarded in the trash can to satisfy one's stomach and being afraid of being discovered. For example, all kinds of moving and running away toil, such as no friends, no hope, no food for closed despair. For example, from the father's most staunch supporter to the...

      The peculiar nature of real events is often beyond people's imagination. An unbelievable family, a pair of parents with a rather eccentric way of thinking, and a relatively strong child, finally had a not-so-good...

      Based on real events. I resonated with the most profound truth: everything brought about by the family of origin will really affect me for the rest of my life. The pursuit of freedom does not mean indulgence. Respecting the original heart is not an excuse for lack of responsibility. No matter how tall the ideal is, in front of the bread, it is just a glass castle built in the air - it cannot be built, and it will be broken when touched. We are not entitled to choose our parents, but we are...

      For children who want to grow up normally, escaping from unreliable stupid parents and stupid families is the most tragic battle in their lives. Some children are lucky and can escape and live anew, and some children are unfortunate and die like this forever. in the family. Janet's parents, if they were just living a gypsy-style homeless life against this modern society, would undoubtedly be pretty cool, but they had four children - God bless they didn't go on and have so many , but can't let...

    The original novel of "The Glass Castle" is a fascinating and heartbreaking excellent work, but the film only tells the relationship between Janet and her father. But viewers have many reasons to like "The Glass Castle", such as to see how it balances the bitterness and sweetness that these children get in such a family. The film mainly presents the memories of the children getting along well with their father, and does not focus on...

    Movie quotes

    • Jeannette: Do you think... Erma ever did something to Dad?

      Rose Mary: Like what?

      Jeannette: Like what she did to Brian.

      Rose Mary: You can't think about things like that. It'll make you crazy.

      Jeannette: ...

      [Meets Rex in a bar]

      Jeannette: Dad... I'm sorry about Erma.

      Rex: Whenever it's time to go, you go.

      Jeannette: I'm not talking about that... "it's impossible to breathe when you're drowning in shit."

      Rex: ...You still believe in your old man?

    • Rex: [Rex exposes Jeanette's burned stomach] There, how's that feel?

      Young Jeannette: It's so ugly, Dad, I look like a demon.

      Rex: There's nothing ugly about you. You hear me? One day I promise you you're gonna look at this as just another side of how strong you are. You're a Walls, Mountain Goat. And we ain't like other people. We got a fire burning in our bellies. And that there is goddamn proof of it. Now... this knife is especially designed to hunt demons. It's very sharp. Don't take it out unless you see him. You can borrow it for the night. You know, all monsters are the same. They like to frighten people, but the minute you stare them down, they turn tail and run. I love you, Mountain Goat.

    • Jeannette: [sighs] My parents are squatting in an abandoned building on the Lower East Side.

      David: Jeanette...

      Jeannette: They were homeless before that for three years before that, which was pretty much how they raised us. My dad is not developing a technology for bituminous coal but he could tell you anything you want to know about it. He is the smartest man I know. He is also a drunk.

      [inhales]

      Jeannette: never finishes what he starts and can be extremely cruel. But he dreams bigger than anyone I've ever met. And he never tries to be somebody that he's not. He never wanted me to either.

      [Exhales]

      Jeannette: I'm sorry, but I have to leave.

      David: Go.
