I was looking forward to watching this movie when I watched the trailer of Van Gogh, and I finally watched it with my wife today. This movie is rarely shown in theaters, and the time is very poor.
I have always had a soft spot for family ethics movies, especially in an unusual family, where parents and children grow together.
The father is a retired soldier, and the mother is a painter who is addicted to painting but has no name. They have absolutely no plans to raise one son and three daughters. They adopt a free and improvised method, and let the young daughter cook because the mother is busy painting, and the daughter burns Ugly scars, but they're totally guilt-free. Stopped camping in the wilderness to paint a tree, didn't let my children go to school, thought homeschooling was better.
The father has never been able to get out of the haze of childhood, so he wants to build a glass castle that he thinks is the freest and most beautiful for his children, but he does not know that it is just a castle in the air, and the enthusiasm for building is finally cooled by the ruthless reality and is stillborn, and the children are separated one by one. they go.
The second daughter, Jenna, is the protagonist of the film, and she is deeply loved by her father. She has changed from admiration to hating her father, which has a great influence on her growth.
This is a film about growing up and finding herself. Jenna has always wanted to escape and deny her own growth experience. Finally, she finally understands that only by accepting her past can she face her truest self.
The confrontation between father Weiss and Jenner at the end of the film is well shot, the most profound is the father saying 'you were born to change the world, not the air in the noise' and he is still proud of his daughter!
