A Glass Castle, a glass castle promised by my father since I can remember, was not realized until my father's death. If this is a story of breaking promises, it would be shallow. With good expectations for the glass castle, whether starving, being burned, or wandering around, Jeannette always believes that the dream will come true.
People will grow up, and dreams will wake up. When Jeannette started planning to escape from her parents and start a "worldly" social life, the estrangement between her and her family grew. It's quite sad to see her and her boyfriend "lying" about a client's dinner.
The content of the story is adapted from a real-life biography, and the parts similar to Shameless are parents who "pursue freedom" and children who strive to be responsible for themselves. Luckily the heroine and her siblings were successful, and their parents weren't utterly depraved. The alcoholic but talented designer father, the painter mother who owns a million-dollar land but chooses to live on the streets, family affection is the constant core of American films, and there is nothing more perfect than the reconciliation of father and daughter and family reunion. However, it is probably a consistent feature of all adapted works. The emotional changes of the characters in the film are a little abrupt, and the scene of the father-daughter reconciliation is a little thin.
