Joy
The Gap between home life and work life can be almost impossibly hard to be able to handle at the same time for most people. In the Drama “Joy”, The entrepreneur Joy Mangano A Peconic, New York resident who works as an airline booking agent has financial difficulties while balancing a demanding family life. Her single mother Terri, who spends the day in bed watching soap operas, her maternal grandmother Mimi, and her underemployed ex-husband Tony, a want to be singer who sleeps in the basement, all reside with Joy and her two children. Peggy, her ambitious paternal half-sister, regularly makes fun of Joy in front of her kids for her failed marriage. Rudy, Joy's father, adds to the complications when he settles into the basement as well following his third divorce.
Mimi and Joy's best friend Jackie support Joy in pursuing her goals of becoming an inventor. Joy creates and constructs a unique self-wringing mop after becoming frustrated with using a traditional kind. Rudy's girlfriend Trudy, an affluent Italian widow, consents to participate in Joy's venture. They make a deal with a Californian business to produce the mop's components cheaply. The business recommends Joy to pay $50,000 in royalties to a man in Hong Kong who makes a comparable product in order to prevent a future patent dispute. Joy refuses to pay the manufacturer when they charge her repeatedly to recreate her defective components.
Neil Walker, a QVC executive Joy encounters, offers to sell her mops on television. Joy obtains a second mortgage to finance the production of 50,000 more units. Joy asks permission to film a second commercial after the first TV attempt fails due to the celebrity pitchman's poor use of the product demonstration. The mop generates thousands of dollars in sales, but Mimi's unexpected death quickly dampens Joy's prosperity.
As a result of Peggy paying the manufacturer's high overcharges without Joy's consent, Joy's young company faces financial ruin. The manufacturer won't give back the money, and thanks to a legal loophole, they may falsely claim Joy's mop invention as their own. Joy finds that the manufacturer misled her and there never existed a similar product in Hong Kong shortly after declaring bankruptcy. Derek Markham, the business's owner, is confronted by her and told that failing to reimburse the overcharges, pay damages, and renounce his claim to her patent will result in criminal prosecution.
Joy establishes herself as a prosperous independent businessperson who supports other entrepreneurs. Her top advisors are Jackie and Tony. Despite his and Peggy's failed lawsuit to claim ownership of her business, Joy continues to help her ailing father. Only Terri is self-sufficient; she found security in Toussaint, a Haitian plumber who Joy formerly employed. With Joy's departure to HSN, as Neil had foreseen, they became "adversaries in commerce," but they are still close friends.
This movie's main idea was to show that creating your idea that you have isn’t easy at all and that there are a lot of challenges to creating it. I found this idea of working for what you want very true. There will be more downs than ups when creating a product. Joy showed that if you have the mental strength and power to keep going then your hard work will eventually pay off. Another main idea was about juggling home life with work life and being an entrepreneur. Joy struggled to make ends meet most times all while trying to create her idea.
Joy took the most risks to create her idea. If her idea would’ve failed; it would’ve destroyed her family and herself. The movie showed real world entrepreneurial problems and social problems that come with creating ideas. It also shows what it takes to make it to the top. Even though Joy eventually became successful, she had to sacrifice a lot of things and relationships with people.
I believe that Nobody wants you to be successful. As it is for most business owners, this lesson caused Joy to regress years. This is because we want to believe that everyone is rooting for the firm we love and own. Sure, entrepreneurs have their supporters and enablers, but there are also more individuals and groups than you would realize that are rooting for your failure—largely because if you succeed, you won't need them anymore, but if you fail, they will.
My final observation is that entrepreneurs may prosper in the turbulence and chaos that generates the frantic energy needed to start anything extraordinary. I don't think she would have survived if her ex-husband and father didn't live in her basement, if her mother hadn't been addicted to soap operas and still fought with the father, if she hadn't had two young children under the age of eight, if there hadn't been a live and active open gun range nearby where she was designing the mop, if there hadn't been constant plumbing, cleaning, and mopping that gave her the initial inspiration for the Miracle Mop There is undoubtedly a time and place for administration and structure in a business, but both may be detrimental when introducing a fresh concept. This is primarily the reason I believe corporate laboratories and incubators are so amazingly poor at creating new businesses or even new products. Entrepreneurs must rise above the crowd and strike while the iron is hot. They probably won't survive at all if they are unable to achieve what Joy did.
In Joy, I watched and entrepreneurs blood, sweat, and tears—which, sure, frequently result in tragedy—in live color for the first time.
