And my mom decided that we would try it out for a couple weeks and come to L.A. from Sacramento." Brie, her mother and sister found a place near Hollywood. They were chasing a dream, but for mom, there was more to it than that. "The three of us would all sleep in the same bed," Larson said. "And I remembered waking up to my mom having these real guttural sort of choking sobs. But she was covering her mouth so that we couldn't hear her. And it's not until now that I've been able to put all the pieces together and realize that right before we were gonna make this trip out to Los Angeles, my father had asked for a divorce. And so this was a much bigger move than my mother had anticipated, and a much bigger move than I and my sister knew about at all."Brie also implies that her father asking for the divorce caused their subsequent life of poverty. She also says nothing to redeem the man, or that she ever even saw him again. Her father was a chiropractor, so the children certainly wouldn't have been impoverished if their father had custody of them. Only their mother's chaotic lifestyle caused Brie and her sister to go hungry in a slum like they did."We had a crappy one-room apartment where the bed came out of the wall and we each had three articles of clothing," says Larson. To prepare for "Room," Brie Larson locked herself in her apartment for weeks at a time. She met with trauma counselors and participated in a silent retreat, revisiting childhood recollections of living in a tiny studio with her single mother and eating Ramen nightly. Larson realized that period was one of the fondest of her life, despite how limited it may have appeared in actuality.VioletRain » 14 minutes ago (Mon Dec 7 2015 11:30:27)So basically kind of a non-story. It sounds like you are projecting your bitterness.It's not a non-story. It's a familiar narrative of feminist grievance that this dramatic young woman has spun for the public. "Daddies are deadbeats; Mommies are heroines who empower their daughters' dreams."
You know nothing about my so-called "bitterness". But your feminist ideology and gullible celebrity sycophancy is loud and clear.
