The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson as journalist Jeannette Walls, adapting her memoir of the same name. But how does the movie differ from the book?
Although The Glass Castle adapts the memoir of the same name, there are quite a few things the movie changes. The overall premise still remains the same as the 2005 bestseller, in which author-journalist Jeannette Walls provided a no-holds-barred look at her dysfunctional childhood. Helmed by Short Term 12 and Shang-Chi writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton, The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson as the central protagonist while Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts star as her parents Rex and Rose Mary.
2 Jeannette's Professional Rise In New York Is Fleshed Out In The Book The Glass Castle offers one of Brie Larson's best performances as the Oscar-winner portrays real-life journalist Jeannette Walls. While she is portrayed as a successful "gossip columnist" for New York Magazine, the book actually offers deeper insights into the hard work that went into building her career.
5 Rex's Bumpy Drive Through The Desert New Mexico serves as one of the many locations where The Glass Castle was filmed as it provides the setting for a particularly wholesome moment when Rex drives off carelessly in the desert, his children and wife cheering all the way. This is a major change from The Glass Castle book as this experience was hardly exciting for Rex's children.
8 The Swimming Pool Scene Merges Several Moments From The Book To teach young Jeannette how to swim, her father repeatedly throws her into a pool at West Virginia's Welch; a matter that draws the attention of the lifeguard . In The Glass Castle movie, Rex also criticizes the lifeguard's decision to segregate the pool for black and white populations even when segregation has long been outlawed.
11 Rex's Troubled Childhood And Erma's Death When the kids temporarily stay at their paternal grandmother Erma's basement, they come across Rex's souvenirs from his childhood years. This includes a poem that he once scribbled to express his melancholic adolescence while living with an emotionally-draining mother.
