Precious (This was going to be longer, but my brain died)

Once in a while a certain movie comes along and all you can think when you watch it is "Whoa." This is certainly one of those movies. What's so special about "Precious"? At first glance, it seems to be your typical drama about a girl whose life is fucked up in so many ways. And, in a sense, it is. But what seems to set it apart in my eyes is how realistic it is. The characters, the dialogue, and the situations she is put into seem real.

I really don't want to say too much about the movie, as most people already know the plot, but I will say that it is powerful and it will make you examine things around you a little more. It does a fairly decent job painting your average welfare recipient (not that all welfare recipients are like the ones in here, but many are) and the mentality of people who are put through some of the abuse that Precious herself are put through.

I'd have to say this movie is worthy of an "A".

people who are put through some of the abuse that Precious herself are put through.

Lol.


The last movie I watched like that was "I can do Bad all by Myself".
I like black people movies more than other movies. They actually have directors with some sense.

Still haven't seen it, after hearing on the radio that she gets raped by her father in the movie as well as MONIQUEEEEEEEEEEE I had to pass it up on RedBox last night. Good write up though.
