Staff Writer This movie is about an inspiring true story where Joy Mangano invented a miracle mop with help of working in her dad’s auto shop. Joy Mangano has always wanted to invent something in her lifetime and she was finally able to. Her mom and dad divorced at a young age, so she felt sorrow growing up. Shortly after college she married someone, and soon after that she had divorced her husband. Her husband had nowhere to live, so both of them lived in the same house, but Tony lived in the basement and she lived upstairs. Jennifer Lawrence (Joy Mangano), Bradley Cooper (Neil Walker), Robert De Niro (Joy’s dad), Edgar Ramirez (Joys ex husband), Virgina Madsen (Joy’s mom), and Diane Ladd (Joy’s mimi), all did a great job of acting in this movie and making it an inspiring movie for consumers. After Joy’s dad and mom divorced, joy’s mom lived in her house causing lots of maintenance for joy. Joy’s mom did not move out of her room on the main floor for the whole time in her lifetime and did not see her ex-husband for 15 years. She was glued to the tv in her room everyday. One day, Joy’s mimi visited them and gave her an inspiring achievement that she could do. Joy said, “Some of us are fortunate enough to have somebody that believes in us, even before we're able to believe in ourselves," says Mangano. Shortly after that, Joy got a roll of yarn and started to rap it around her hands. She decided that she could create a mop and invent something to not get her hands dirty. One day, Joy’s dad showed up at her house and he was poor and had no money. This is when he wanted to move into joy’s house with everyone else in debt. Joy said he could live downstairs with Tony. Right when Rudy got downstairs Tony and him started fighting. Joy went downstairs and separated them with a piece of toilet paper. The next day, Joy started to advertise her mop in a parking lot with her kid and no one would buy it. Joy told her kid that she was a failure and said, “Christie, look at me. I want you to remember something cause a lot of times people get nice things and they start to think differently. We got here from hard work, patience, and humility. So I want to tell you, don't ever think the world owes you anything because it doesn't. The world doesn't owe you a thing.” When she went home, she told her ex-husband about her failure and started to cry. He cheered her up by telling her, he worked with someone that considered to sell things that people invented. This person was Neil Walker (Bradley Cooper). After Tony told Joy this, she went to Neil Walker’s office and told him about her miracle mop. He said that it was a good idea and he would consider it. If you want to learn more about the movie, then watch it! It is a great movie and one of my favorites. Comments are closed.
