Axl's Agony Aunt Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Joy. Another strong working-class female role by Jennifer Lawrence, like Winter's Bone; the USA's Jodie Whittaker (new Dr. Who tonight). Good entertaining movie too, providing inspiration, although don't know how often such success stories can happen! Good role model though.

soon Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Love this movie! "I pick up the gun" is arguably not the makings of a good role model, but broadly speaking I was really inspired by her. I found it interesting how working class lefties I know enjoy it, while upper class lefties denounce it as nothing more then American Dream propaganda. The Dream they already live, that is. lol. Wish there was a scene dealing with that... maybe the pick up the gun one But I dont even take most of what the body of the movie speaks to as being only applicable in business, its about life. And its well written and acted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you don't reach your intended destination, but you enjoy the journey, and find somewhere better for who you are by the time you arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I remember thinking this movie felt like it was 3 hours long and I wanted to go see The Force Awakens again when I saw it with my family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I fell asleep during this film and I hardly ever doze off in the movie theater; the sound usually is booming enough to keep me awake. In my opinion, it's one of David O's weakest films and it was a really bad idea to release it on Christmas. It was an insignificant movie for the holiday event season.

I wouldn't have gone to the movie theatre to watch it, but I haven't been for years, and just went to big special effects ones towards the end. Agree it's not very Chrismassy, although quite a heartwarming story; if the end had them all around a Christmas meal and opening presents it might have done it; as Die Hard just had him going home for Christmas really!
