Depressed youth longing for the confusion of the road

The first half is very depressing, and there is always some resonance echoing in the memory, just like the heroine, while living her own life, she is recalling.
The various irresponsibility of the parents, the unrestrained drawing of the children's pie, these seem to be the same as those ordinary parents who always want the children to continue their own thoughts, and it is imposed. It's just that the mass disseminates mainstream ideas, while rex disseminates some extreme things.
I'm wondering why the movie is called Glass Castle. When I was a child, I hoped that I would have a castle in the future, and live a safe life in it, and the castle would protect me from the wind and rain. Thinking about it now, it was just a manifestation of the lack of security at that time. rex has always wanted to build a glass castle for his children, which is his lifelong ideal and commitment. But there is no actual try to die, just constant talking. Just like the child's trust in him, it is like a glass castle, which looks solid but is actually brittle and unbreakable. And as the children grow up, it collapses little by little.
Just like every child who has gone through adolescence, in the constant conflict with their parents, the constant conflict between new ideas and old ideas, they become more and more uncomfortable with everything at home, and always feel that they can live better and educate themselves correctly. child. If I were a parent, I would never do this to my own children.
When I was in high school, I often liked to lie on the windowsill of the classroom, watching the passing vehicles on the road outside the school, and there would always be a voice in my heart that would take me away. I feel like my home is like a cage trapping myself. Every day I live in a small county, sitting and doing exercises, eating and sleeping. I remember my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. When my mother was taking care of me in the hospital, she would still call me every day to ask me to study. The communication with my parents is limited to eating, and I am stuck at home on weekends. The only thought is that I can live at my grandmother's house in the countryside during the holidays and play with my cousins. At that time, my parents were at work and couldn't take care of me.
I finally made it to the college entrance examination. When I filled in the volunteers, I resolutely applied for the school in Wuhan, and the second choice also filled in the school in Suzhou. In the end, the volunteer was changed to a school in this city, just because of the suggestion of the head teacher. I remember very well, yelling at my mother, if I'm out of the city, I'll hate you for the rest of my life. At that time, I was too confused, and my mother must have been seriously injured.
Later, although I applied for the school in this city, whenever I got sick, I would always think of my mother giving me infusions and injections and cooking a bowl of tomato noodle soup. Later, my mother became seriously ill, and her body and spirit were much worse, and her control over the family gradually became weaker, and she felt powerless in some things. I rely more and more on my father.
In the past, my mother supported the whole family alone, and my father liked to drink, but the wages were paid on time. My mother saved two houses by saving food and money. I went to my relatives again to pay back the money, and at the end I only had five dollars left in my pocket. I used the money to buy me one of my favorite drumsticks, and I went home hungry. I was very happy to see me eating, and my mother smiled very satisfied. . Such a strong person suddenly finds that one day he has lost control over his surroundings and becomes powerless in life. How do you want her to adapt at this time?
That's how life is, there's always a way of living that works for you. The mother also slowly got used to, and the father supported each other and depended on each other for life. This may be the wife and the wife, come and accompany the old man. Now the communication with my mother is very easy, and I will make her a lot of jokes. I will also ask whether I changed my choice because I was afraid that I would marry a local girl in another place and not come back in the future.
My mother said that she didn't insist on letting you go abroad later, and I regretted it.
I said, in the future, when I have a child, I will let him be by my side for the rest of my life, which can be better than home.
How good would it be if you were so sensible in the first place? I just hope you are doing well. Steady for a lifetime.
Now whenever I am late for the flight, my mother can't sleep, she has to wait until I land. Once I lied to my mother that I was late for my flight the next day and asked her to go to bed early. But when I landed in the early morning, my mother's phone call came as promised. Mother said, my own child, I still don't know which sentence is true and which is false?
I'm almost 30, but in the eyes of my mother, I'm still a child, and I can never rest assured.
I said that you, like your grandmother, are worried about your life.
The mother said that there was no way, her own child, it is difficult to care about the hearts of other people's children.

Memories are like Proust's stream of consciousness, bit by bit flicking through the box of memories. At the end of the movie, the father and daughter are reconciled. Although my daughter has been tricked by her father many times, her father's love and guidance in her memory have overcome all kinds of contradictions. When you encounter a problem and feel fear, the first thing to do is to face it and accept it. Only in this way can you make a correct decision. Escape is not the way to go.
In the end, the glass castle did not collapse, just like the star gift that the father gave to the children a few years ago, transcending all matter, and existed forever. Like a beacon on the sea, it guides children towards their inner direction.

Our mothers are also taking the role of parents for the first time. All of them are inexperienced. They are also confused about whether they can educate their children well in the future and let them become talents. But most of them will not evade responsibility, although they will make mistakes and will be misunderstood, but the starting point is for the good of their children.

After a busy and inhuman week, it is still very comforting to be able to see such a movie. If one day, it may be possible to make these things into a movie. If you can't make it, it's okay, I have a story and you have a drink.

  • 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?
