Joy

Tonight I went to go see the new movie, Joy.

This movie featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, & Robert De Niro, is based on the true story of the woman who invented the Miracle Mop. I found this movie to be extremely inspirational. A woman trying to create a business and make a name for herself, is screwed over time and time again by her family and her manufacturers. Joy ends up coming out on top, obviously.

Now, you're probably thinking: Why is this woman doing a movie review on a photography blog?

Your answer is this:

I could personally relate to this movie, as I am trying to create a business of my own. My invention is my photographs that I create with my camera, while Joy's was a mop. However, this movie was motivational and inspiring. I walked away from this movie with a clearer understanding of the frustration it can be to create a business; however I also took away that you should never give in to your frustration and that if you really want something, you should chase after it.

That's what I'm going to do with this business...

I'm going to chase it.
