Housewife's American Dream

The American Dream can be realized in various forms.

For example, study hard to enter a prestigious school, graduate to enter a prestigious company, perform well in work, become a general manager, become a CEO, and win Bai Fumei; for example, from small business to big business, working hard in business, and achieving a career; such as a low-level background , By seizing the opportunity, it is famous and respected by thousands of people.

Regardless of the form, the core is one: the main thing is that if you are willing to work hard, you will be able to achieve a career, there will be milk and bread, and there will be no shortage of opportunities.

This is the core of the American Dream. And "Joy Struggling" can probably be regarded as a housewife version of the American dream.

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist Joey's situation is realized, which is quite a bit of "the general will be the one who will be in charge of the people, and he must first work his muscles and bones, hung his skin, empty his body, and do what he does."

The condition of the parents can be said to be a mess, of course Joey himself did not get better there. I met a beautiful man at the prom, a beautiful man who was addicted to music. After giving birth to two children, he divorced and became a single mother.

To make matters worse, Joey's finances also collapsed.

Okay, now all the difficulties are here. It’s impossible to rely on your parents. Can your parents still count on you? It’s not impossible to rely on your husband. You play music all day but you are not a musician or singer. It’s not bad if you don’t need relief, although Joey’s husband is still a good man. There are friends, but friends are in the same situation as you. Of course, they are willing to help you, but they really don’t have any money.

But I have a good idea, so I'm leaving everyone to sponsor me.

Well, three aunts and six poems, relatives and friends, everyone who can get a crowdfunding, can start work.

The result is naturally a sap-you are a commercial rookie, where does the sales channel come from? Want to sell tens of thousands of mops at a stall?

The actual situation should be that most people are dead at this stage. But the American Mona is of course an unparalleled road. Through the introduction of her husband's former colleague, she became the person in charge of TV sales.

The business plan is a bit bright, but it's not a dream if it goes too smoothly. Solving the patent problem is another hurdle that Joey, a commercial rookie, needs to overcome.

From family troubles, heavy debts, to successful entrepreneurship and becoming the queen of the mop, this is the housewife version of the American dream shown in the film.

And the hardships in it, probably only the person involved can really appreciate it. In the last scene of the film, Joey, who has successfully founded the company, took the initiative to provide them with a lot of convenience when he met a couple who came to her for investment with a design.

Because that's how I came here back then!

    Where is the sense of rhythm of the story, the sudden failure one after another makes people feel overwhelmed; comedy is not comedy, inspirational is not inspirational, if you want to make a warm type film, the characters of each supporting role are not flattering; the happy ending is already a bit harmonious. The film is out of line. When the president's desk was growing up, there was a box of paper toys made when he was a child. It was really too hard...

Joy quotes

  • Neil Walker: I guess you could say we're friends in the commerce.

    Joy: Friends in commerce. Yeah.

    Neil Walker: So, let's promise each other, that if one day, and that day may come, that we become adversaries in commerce, that we remain friends. That's a true friendship, indeed.

    Joy: Friends in commerce. I agree, let's shake on it.

  • 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.
