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 stick our heads out!
I saw a lot of comments criticizing the parents in the film. In fact, if you understand the history of the United States and understand the era in which their parents lived (it should be the baptized generation in the 1960s, in the United States it is called the extreme generation, hippies, sexual liberation. .....), we may not blame the parents in the film, as the father speaks at the end of the film, in fact, he has been fighting the devil himself, but he has been fighting all his life before he realizes that he is actually fighting against the machine, rather than fighting the institutions and cultures that the machines represent. And, without asking his own children's consent in the slightest, he dragged them together against his so-called demons. Therefore, when the daughters feel contented when they are in the hospital, when the daughters are struggling to leave home, when the heroine refuses to talk to her parents, her mother says that the heroine's values are distorted.
If it weren't for the daughter's future, it can be said that such a family is a complete tragedy. So, see how utilitarian we are! If there is another war, it is certain that his children have a higher survival rate. We define success and the value of life in this way, and it seems natural. I remembered, Ge You said in If You Are the One at the beauty pageant at the time, why do they say that beauty is beautiful, and why are the standards of beauty in their hands. Of course, this is not the focus of our discussion, at least it was their father's idea at the time, a person who was hurt, a person who could not walk out of the shadows, "Why let people in big cities define our values?" It can be said that for most of his life, he has been lying in the fog of doing better than other parents for the sake of his children.
Never have we blamed our parents, or even that our parents deserved to be blamed. They are first-time parents, all by experience, never learning how to be a parent, never buying a book on how to be a parent, never asking specifically how to teach a child, they give it all by feeling and giving what they think is the best good education. However, it happens that some parents, like the heroine, are more unique.
Of course we can blame the world, the parents. Yes, they are to blame, they deserve to be blamed.
In fact, they all paid for it. Look at the United States today, the world has been messed up by its self-righteousness, and the heroine's father has lost a lot of life.
Does all this make the parties feel relaxed? ? ?
I believe that this is the reason why this film and novel can win favor: no matter how unfortunate it is, we should not be depressed, we should find a way out, we cannot sink because of what we have encountered, we must change, we can change!
After watching this film, I am relieved, especially in our culture, there are too many "fathers" in the film, but they are not so extreme. On the other hand, they often have personality defects (like the father in the film who is alcoholic), although they are very family-oriented and hard-working, but they also draw circles with their own hands, insisting that our world follow his intentions.
But we still have a way, and we should find a way to get out and break out of our own world. Yes, even if we fall in shit, we can still breathe if we're willing to stick our heads out!
