she is a legend

Based on a true story, the film tells the story of an American woman named Joy Mangano who built her own business and became an outstanding businessman by inventing the "magic mop".

I always feel that the so-called biographies of successful people are full of moisture. "The winner is king", as long as the final outcome is won, you can write a difficult journey at will. And what is the real situation? I'm afraid it's not good.

The reason why there is such a negative energy is because the heroine shown in this film is completely a legend of the American Dream, which is not very real.

A middle-aged woman who graduated from high school, divorced with two young children. There is an old and sick grandmother, a nervous mother, and a divorced ex-husband who still lives. In such a bad environment, she suddenly burst into inspiration one day, invented a magical mop, and miraculously opened the market, and made a fortune since then.

Truly the American Dream.

Because if we were here, I'm afraid she's just been promoting it on TV, and the knockoff products have started to be produced. In our place, raw material suppliers will definitely take the opportunity to raise prices and then raise prices. In our place, my grandmother is old and sick, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day to register and dispense a medicine. Our two children pick up and drop off kindergarten, hold various parent-teacher conferences, and participate in various training classes. It is estimated that we need to hire a full-time nanny. In our place, it is impossible for a middle-aged working woman to support such a large family, and she will starve to death before inspiration comes.

So, she is a legend.

Joy quotes

  • 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!

    [throws the mop down]

  • Mimi: [narrating] She'd put up with just about anything... until when she had to bring the hammer down - she brought the hammer down.
