Remember the plot in the first part of "The Matrix"? Captain Murphys firmly believes that Neo is the savior, he said Neo is "The One". When everyone was half-believing, even the Prophet said it wasn't him, but Morpheus still firmly believed that he had found "The One"-the one who was different. When Neo faced Morpheus' sacrifice, he resolutely made his own decision, and in the display and understanding of his ability, he became the real "The One". Although "The Matrix" and "Joy's Struggle" are not substantially related, from David O. Russell's movies, the earliest "Fighter" can be traced back to 2010, he seems to prefer such "The One" image. He likes to describe those ordinary people who have "Real Power". He said in the interview: "Joy is a person with superpowers, and this kind of power can never be taken away from her.". Whether it is family relations, financial crisis, business fraud, everything can not defeat her. The film is adapted from a real-life story and tells an ordinary single mother: Joey Mangano, who invented the "magic mop" in 1990 and personally boarded the TV shopping channel to promote this product, and the result was within 20 minutes Only 18,000 were sold. At present, the total sales volume of "magic mops" has reached 5 million, and Mangano has more than 100 patents. In 2010, she was named one of the "ten most creative businesswomen in the world" by American Business Magazine. In her life, the most complicated, bizarre, and luckiest ones are her family members. The story of the film may make people feel that Joey’s family members are simply incomprehensible, and her life experience is simply desperate. During the filming process, she always wanted to beat the TV, tear up those cheating family members, and did not understand why Joey could not get rid of it. The family entanglement continues such a complicated and chaotic family relationship. However, this kind of character story and family relationship is not the first time for director David O. Russell to control it. It can be said that this kind of story fascinates him. The famous 2010 "Fighter" also tells a simple and tough brother Mitch Ward, how to take over the boxing career of his brother Dick Ekland, entangled in the manager's mother and the drug-addicted coach brother in the process. In the chaotic life given, he fell into the trough of his boxing career, and then stood up again and made a successful comeback, returning to a good story with his family. Compared with "The Fighter", "Joy's Struggle" lacks the dual antagonism of brothers and is a single independent female growing up experience, so the film lacks some contrasts and changes in the former. But the same feeling of inability to fight back against the family, love and hate, is the same. And David O. Russell is very good at it, and even likes to portray such family conflicts with large and large dialogues. In his eyes, this is the real and true life story. The family is like this, people satisfy and disappoint you, but they are all your family, they are there. You don't like them, but you can't do without them. You have to admit that the subtlety of the family bond between you is something that everyone knows firsthand. People say that in Russell's eyes, telling a story that can move people is the most important thing. He once said: In "Fighter", boxing only makes the story that happened within the family more interesting and legendary. In essence, this is a film that tells the story of family emotions. I think "Joy's Struggle" "Is the same. He said that he once described a piece of "Fighter" like this: "Even in the film There are inspirational elements, but this is not an inspirational film. This is not a simple biopic, even if it is adapted from a real story of a real person. In my heart, this movie is the movie that tells people's most universal emotions, because in the movie, the emotional ups and downs experienced by these people are what we will encounter in our lives. There are big ups and downs, joy, guilt, and more importantly, the family’s consideration, understanding, and acceptance. "For the same reason, "Joy's Struggle" is also a film about family emotional stories. Just like the Star Wars series at the end, it is actually just a family ethics drama that takes place in outer space. For David O. La For Sale, whether it is the struggle history of boxers or the commercial struggles of independent women, for him, what he has to tell is always the story of family emotions. He uses movies to express the subtle emotional relationships between family members. Show people’s psychological and verbal conflicts, the inseparable blood and affection between people. He always likes to show this kind of unorganized and chaotic family relationship, because he believes that real life is often better than drama. It is also bizarre, full of coincidences and opportunities. Such a true story is different from the plot in the drama. Life is not only the antagonistic relationship between good and bad people, but also weakens the polarities of good and evil in family ethics. Everyone Under the banner of love and kindness, he is unaware of his behavior to others, and the person concerned is unable to get rid of such a relationship, and the feelings entangled in it are dumbfounding and helpless. Facing the support and approval of his family, relatives, The care and encouragement of friends are the immediate needs and vitals in our lives. And David O. Russell showed us that in extremely bad family relationships, there is also the possibility of reaching the peak of life. He said: "Life is It's very difficult. You may encounter all kinds of difficulties and pains, and you must cheer up quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. I have seen a few survivors of the "Jewish Holocaust" of World War II. Some of them have hope for life, while others have difficulty breaking free from the past. Although we cannot change the past, we can choose how to face it. To the future. "Perhaps, this is his constant motivation to write such character stories. In "Joy's Struggle", the director described the film as Joey’s busyness in the family, helping his mother repair the water seepage floor and taking care of the children. Settling her father and ex-husband, she was tired of running around in the unclear family relationship. Until the end of the film, she had her own office, sitting at her desk, and found her own place. This is what he wanted to express. "Joy's struggle." He said: "This is my first film that focuses on women. I hope to prove to all women that it is never too late to challenge new things. ", in reality, Joey invented his own "magic mop" at the age of 35. Joey is not a crazy character. Jennifer Lawrence wants to get married from her twenties and become a female company in her forties. Home’s Joey is also a challenge and an opportunity. David O. Russell, like meeting his own goddess of Muse, thinks that Jennifer Lawrence is his best actress. His movies have been telling us The story of ordinary people with superpowers, and the key lies in the fact that, in addition to external obstacles and family entanglements, how do we break out of the siege, like "Neo", firmly believe that we are the "The One." In Joey's life In the middle, the grandmother told her that she would be different, and the father told her that she was nothing. In the end, she decided who Joey was, and only herself, and only herself. And in the film, The most moving thing is that a friend called when Joey was standing at a turning point in his life-TV shopping live broadcast. The hope of life and the encouragement of friends, such things sometimes don't need too much, one is enough. In the current online media, there is a tagging classification method. David O. Russell’s films have always been tagged with family, plot, comedy, and biography. When we are frustrated or troubled, we can search His films, to see how people who are more frustrated and troubled than yourself, how to stand out and get out of trouble, is the meaning of David O. Russell telling such a story. He has never been a big winner of the Oscar, because of his The film is based on family stories, and the layout is not grand enough, but due to the real and moving drama creation, he is always a regular guest nominated for the best screenplay and director, and he is also the actress who has been on the altar. Needless to mention, big cousin. Relying on three cooperative films, he won three Golden Globe trophies in one fell swoop, and a post-90s Oscar queen laurel. There are no metaphors and artistic techniques in David O. Russell’s films, and there is no plot structure. Ingenious design, only sharp dialogue, complicated relationship between characters, entanglement of love and hate, quarrel and compound old-fashioned drama, but this kind of story allows you to see your life and illuminate the hope ahead, that's it. Just like a real family relationship, you know they are not perfect, but you can’t deny the value and significance of its existence. Movie association: "Fighter" Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bell, Amy Adams, the film It even put "Batman" Christian Bale on the throne of Oscar for best supporting actor. January 29, 2016
