This post will be going over some of the naming aspects of some of the characters in Joy tend to show the opposite of what they were intended. The names used in Joy seems to describe their characters to a point but there are some major parts where they act the opposite of their title. In this scene is where Precious starts to adapt to her new life as a worker for the Madame. Her appearance has change and see seems to be having a good time with the other workers, dancing, listening to music, and just over all being a young adult. While they are having fun in the back we see Joy looking to be bored and looking at her phone. For a character to be named Joy but barley show that emotions. Seem to me that the film has that title and gave that character that specific name. As a form of dark irony, that Joy current life really has no joy and that this is what life will seem to be for rest of her life and that she has been doing this for a long time now. That she barely shows any joy possible out of fear that something devastating may happen to her.
