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".

    Just watch the show, the rest is too lackluster.

    Probably not this time. The overall feeling is that the director is distracted, very perfunctory. The place that should be funny is not funny, and the place that should be sensational is weak. Even when it should be iconic, it’s gone when the chat goes mad. JLaw plays well and can stand the camera stare, but other characters other than her don't feel like writing too hard. Also the first time I saw the narrator talking about the dead...

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.
