Narration is always added because the narrative itself is weak.

Honestly a little disappointed. The trailer gathers all the climactic conflict moments and raises my expectations for him. The movie is naturally trying to express the road to success as an ordinary person, and the
narration is always added because the narrative of the plot itself is weak.
execution. From the beginning, Joy was abandoned in the life of firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and finally regained her dream one day. In the middle, it was just the awakening of a dream. The turning point at this point is actually very blunt, but one sentence explanation is that Joy is downright action-oriented.
Resist the blow, and fight to the end. From the demonstration of the product on the street, to the desperate fight for a second TV commercial opportunity, and the tenacious fight for the patent patent, these parts are the most inspirational. So many fatal hardships and difficulties have never been encountered, there is no reason to do any retreat.
However, the story wants to express too many things, and I hope to use the misfortune of the family and the dreams of childhood to contrast and echo. As a result, a considerable part of the story appears redundant. But then again, Joy's story is too inseparable from her family. Her business, her house, and even her ex are the key players in helping her bridge the gap with retailers.

    Originally inspirational biopics, as long as they follow the narrative style that the United States is best at, they should be quite exciting. It's a pity that the director always wants to pursue something different, but his talent is not enough. The film is made weird and lazy, and I always feel that there is a lack of breath.

Joy quotes

  • Trudy: My late husband Morry - I met him in Milano for a trade show, for a swimwear line - used to say: sailing in the winter is the best comparison to life in the world of commerce.

  • Trudy: You are in a room and there is a gun on the table, and the only other person in the room is an adversary in commerce. Only one of you can prevail. Yet, you have protected your business and Maurice's money. Do you pick up the gun, Joy?

    Joy: That's a very strange question.

    Trudy: There is nothing strange about this question at all. This is money. Do you pick up the gun?

    Joy: I pick up the gun.

    Trudy: Good. I'm going to remember that you said that... when I speak to my lawyer.
