1. The first cousin Jennifer Lawrence had intended to play the heroine Janet, but finally withdrew. After she quit, Brie Larson was cast as Janet, the film's heroine.

I still clearly remember how I felt after watching Brie Larson's "Room". After reading it, I couldn't cry, and I liked Jacob so much.

2. This is Brie Larson's second collaboration with director Dustin Daniel Crichton. She starred in the Destin-directed film Juvenile Shelter (released in 2003).

3. Brie Larson and Naomi Watts have both starred in "King Kong"-themed movies. Brie Larson starred in 2017's "Kong: Skull Island," and Naomi Watts in 2005's "King Kong."

Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow in 'King Kong'

Naomi Watts in "King Kong" is simply beautiful. I still remember the first time I saw her in "Mulholland Drive", with blond hair and a rather thin figure. It was the first time I watched the whole film. I feel that my IQ is not enough. The only thing I feel is that Naomi is too beautiful, but she is too thin.

4. Both Brie Larson and Woody Harrelson starred in the 2011 film Fortress.

5. Desiree Crooks and Charlie Shotwell played the older sister and younger brother, respectively, in the 2016 film Captain Fantastic.

6. This film is based on a true story. In the past, there was a family who often hid in a small town and lived in poverty in order not to be supervised by the government.

7. In 2007, Jeanette Walls, the original author of "The Glass Castle," announced that the film was in development and was looking for a director.

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?
