I'd expected more joy from this movie

The first part is like the line of happiness behind the dark clouds, shaping the image of each character, embellished with an inexplicable sense of joy (but not funny). With the emergence of a career crisis, the narrative will be more exciting in the latter part. The plot reversal of the final airborne is also recognized. In fact, the whole story is not very convincing. The film script is responsible for providing a bowl of warm chicken soup. The production is exquisite from the set photography to the soundtrack, not to mention the acting skills and charming temperament of the big cousin. The hour passed in an instant. The core is the American Dream that everyone can realize, but there is really nothing worth recalling after the fact, and it is not painful to watch. (Although several scenes were very exciting, like the part where the eldest cousin demonstrated the mop, it was very heartbreaking.)

Then again, it was a movie that only the eldest cousin would watch. JL has a good grasp of the psychological state of such characters. Whether it is the dark cloud line or the characters in the American hoax, they all have similar temperament, but I hope to see more breakthroughs and look forward to this year's "passengers".

    Habitually watching this iron triangle, I don't quite believe what the film tells. The cast is so powerful but so well-made

    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

  • 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.
