"Joey of Struggle"---Life should be self-improvement

Some people in the comments said that this movie is similar to "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", I Think so, too.

But I always feel that kind of miserable, that kind of immersive feeling I don't have at all, I don't know what is the most difficult period for Joey, I can't empathize with it, maybe this is me and the movie the largest distance between them. But for Joey, those difficulties, those pains, were real.

After watching the movie, I still feel that life should still work hard to move forward, or should always work hard, even if our ending is not so happy, even if our struggle process is very difficult, we should still work hard and work hard.

Joey is the mother of two children. Her parents are divorced. She needs to support her mother and occasionally her father. Her ex-husband has been divorced for two years, and she still lives here. Her mother is depressed. She is a family. Supported by Joey alone.

As a young man in his twenties, should I also work hard, should I work hard for my family, and work hard for my bright future?

That's what this movie gave me the most comfort.

I just read the comments, it turns out that the heroine is the big cousin, but this movie is still average, not very good, there are no tears, there is nothing touching, and there is nothing particularly gratifying, but the name is particularly impressive It's infectious, but the name touched me a little bit.

Other than that, nothing.

    Honestly very boring movie. Just because the main character is a big cousin who is quite popular with the audience, it cannot be said that this is a powerful and good film.

    Sorry, as I became more familiar with the style of director David O. Russell, I began to wonder if he was too narcissistic in making movies? Looking at the detailed design at the beginning, it is not a surprise, but a bit disgusting. Is this mine or "O" "problem"? The story is inspiring, but it made me impatient. My cousin's acting skills didn't feel extraordinary, so I guessed: The Oscar judges love her so much, do they want to cultivate "Aunt Mei second"?

Joy quotes

  • Joy: [at her mother's deathbed] I so hated to leave her that day. I had so much I wanted to say to her... and to my great-granddaughter. I felt I wanted to stay near her and watch over her.

  • Cristy 5 Years Old: Mimi said that you were the one born to help carry us on to success.

    Joy: No, Christie, Mimi was wrong. The world does not *give* you opportunities, the world destroys the opportunities. It breaks the heart. I should have listened to my mother, when I was 10 years old. I should have spent the rest of my life watching TV and hiding from the world like my mother. So I don't want to hear anymore about Mimi. She was wrong, she had her head in the clouds, and it was full of stupid ideas, and it gave me stupid ideas. But this?

    [picks up a mop]

    Joy: This stupid, stupid idea!
