Joy (2015)



Director: David O. Russell 

How many times have you heard someone saying that you should give up on your dreams, it is not worth pursuing them and it's actually a dead end? I believe more often than you would want to. We are living in a world with so many different preconceptions and social constructs that makes us question our own beliefs, choose a path that does not suit us and strangles our growth. If someone tells you that you can't do something, it does not mean you really can't and shouldn't. It simply means that you have to push yourself even harder to prove them wrong and show what you are actually capable of. This is what Joy Mangano did, and I am glad that Russel chose to share this inspiring story with us exactly now.
