Precious

I watched Precious and I really liked it. Precious was about a 16 year old that gets pregnant twice from her father. She is also abused by her mother. The movie was mostly about Precious trying really hard to stay in school and taking care of her kids. The main characters are Precious (Gabourey Sidibe), Mary (mo'Nique), Ms. Rain (Paula Patton). The actors Characters developed in the movie they all played there part well in the movie. I liked Precious when she finally stood up to her mother.
I disliked Precious's mother Mary throughout the whole movie. I dislike how she's always telling Precious what to do and controls her in every way. But a really good part that I liked that Mary had in the movie was when she wanted precious back home and they where at Mrs. Weiss office. Mary had a really good part and it was really said but that wasn't an excuse for what she did to Precious but it was good. The characters cast were well they put all the effort in it and it was good. The conflict was Precious get pregnant twice by her father and her mother abuses her because she "stole her man". Precious tries to get through all that by going to school and taking care of her kids but ends up having HIV and that gets her really mad and she stops writing.
That is solved when Precious stands up to her mother and she stays in school and tries to get and education and take care of her kids. The plot is realistic. This happens to many girls and they should all do what Precious did stand up for yourself. so don't let anything stop you from what you want. I think the characters do interact well with each other because at the end of the movie Precious's mother Mary wants Precious to forgive her for what she did. Also when Precious got both of her kids and is ready to take care of both of them. There is chemistry between the characters between Precious and Ms. Rain. Ms. Rain tries to keep Precious in school so she can get a better education. I think one key piece dialogue was when Precious stood up for herself and continued her new life with her kids and an education. The setting was set in Harlem.
I think the costuming effective because the author was trying to tell us it was a while ago. The movie was set in Harlem in 1987 and I think thats what the costuming told us. The music went with how the mood was in the movie and it also told us the story by the music. Same with the lighting it told us the mood and the time of the movie. There was different stages in the movie. For example at school, at precious home, and when she ran away from home and went to Ms. rain. But there was one place witch was set in Harlem. some props the characters used was the journal that Precious had. She would write in it all about herself and Ms. Rain was the only one that read about it. That Journal was about Precious's life.
Over all this movie was great and it is one of the best movie I watched. who ever didn't watch this movie should it was a really good movie and I think I would watch this movie again on my spare time.

  1. This movie seems really good! I cant believe that she gets pregnant because of her father and I cant believe that it happens twice. It seems so sad and I dont know how I would feel about watching it but I think this was a really good movie critic.
