Father and daughter who love and kill each other

Love and kill each other! This time it's parents and children, and it's two generations! From the diary of the male protagonist when he was a child, I know that the hazy childhood caused him huge psychological damage (is the male protagonist a bit of a pedophile?). He loves his children deeply and doesn't want them to repeat the same mistakes, but he uses some very strange and even cruel methods to teach them how to protect themselves. Before she knew it, she also became like a parent who had been deeply feared since childhood. He has always promised to make a "Glass Castle" for his children, which actually represents the ambivalence that he is relatively isolated in his heart but has to maintain an ''organic'' connection with his original family because of his family. 2 hours of movie, good story told in 1 hour and 45 minutes. The American happy ending eventually pulled its depth down. The cruelty of reality is to tear life apart for others to see, rather than stick it together.

The Glass Castle quotes

  • 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.

  • Jeannette: You did all this for me?

    Rex: Since when is it wrong for a father to take care of his little girl?
