Great movie for those with a entrepreneurial spirit

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2016)

Just finished watching this on DVD and I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed it a lot!
I was surprised because I'd seen the many lukewarm reviews for this movie and I'd wound up with pretty low expectations.
Putting aside the filmmaking/acting/directing/editing/story aspects that others have commented on (and yes I do agree Jennifer Lawrence gave a terrific performance).
I just wanted to add that I can only assume the movie worked so well for me because ever since I was young I was inspired by inventors/innovators/entrepreneurs.
e.g. This is going back some years but this movie put in mind of another I'd really liked that I never heard much praise for - "Tucker: the Man and His Dream" (if you're not familiar think of the story of Tesla and Elon Musk - in the 1940s!). Just noticed Tucker was directed by Francis Ford Coppola I did not realize that!
I think it's part of certain people's personalities and temperament to be drawn to the act of creation, whether creating something physical, or just imagining the potential of a new idea. But not everybody is like this. Everybody's different. The world takes all kinds.
In this movie we see that "creative spirit" depicted with Joy as a little girl making her paper figures in her room and obviously in later life with her invention of the "miracle mop".
I don't mean to demean the reviewers who rated the movie so poorly when I say it just reminds me how subjective appreciation of art can be. Not every work is appreciated by everyone the same. It can be a very personal thing.
I conjecture that those reviewers who didn't enjoy the movie must not have connected with and identified with Joy's predicament trying to overcome obstacles bringing her idea to the world like I did. I'm quite sure that's where my enjoyment of the movie came from. I was rooting for Joy. I wanted to her to win. I saw myself in her and what she was trying to do.
So the movie did work for me. I enjoyed it very much.
And for others who who do have that "thing", that "hunger", who dream of creating/inventing/innovating, being an entrepreneur, etc. I think this is a movie they will *really* enjoy.
For those people this movie can be a lot of fun and inspirational.
For those people this movie is Rocky.
Rocky - with a Mop. :)
