Watch Precious For Free

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Just for starters, please do watch the film.First thought that it is not a movie about black people (like all those movies showcasing about the discrimination shown/was shown to them).The movie is about HUMANS, about the precious people we have around. It is a bold movie, which questions how we treat people, how the media/society have changed our perception of beauty, and how tough is it for girls who have to live a life of "Precious".The acting is amazing, and the technical aspects of shooting dream sequences will remain fresh for a long time.Overall, the movie is too bold to be a Hollywood product. It has that quality and vibe of world cinema

The story is about a black girl who is sixteen years old and abuse. She lives in severe environment because the film focus on poor classes in the New York. She is was sexually and physically harassed by her mother and her father-in-law. In addition, she gets pregnant with him. However, she meets a woman teacher and she finds out her own wishes. In the end, the girl and mother tries to compromise.The film has dialogue and colors. The genre of this movie is drama. It is cruel to describe the scene of child abuse. However, that is why it is easy to empathize with the girl of a story. Though I hasn't gone through as the main character, the film will give wishes for audiences. In addition, I have to thank my environment.

The movie Precious is focused around characterization of a teenage girl and her many struggles. The central theme is the coming of age of developing character; Clarisse Precious Jones; played by Gabourey Sidibe. Precious; as she prefers to be called, is an obese, poor, black, girl. Illiterate at middle-school age, she lives with her abusive mother. The exposition reveals Precious is pregnant with her second child and being forced out of school. When the principle inquires about a home visit; it is then we are introduced to the violent and abusive relationship between Precious and her mother. The film portrays her mother Mary played by Mo'nique, as an angry, abusive woman living off welfare fraud. Mary compels Precious to stop going to school and go up to the welfare office. This is when Precious begins to be questioned by a social worker, Ms. Weiss played by Mariah Carey. Ms. Weiss inquires about her pregnancies and discovers that her mother is not only committing welfare fraud but has been a not-so-silent partner in her own daughters' sexual abuse by her boyfriend, Precious' dad. Mary not only allows Precious to be victimized from infancy by her boyfriend but also forces her daughter into sexual relations with herself.In one of the first scenes we are introduced to her vivid imagination as she seemingly day dreams in class. She is glamorous, adored and blissfully happy. As the film progresses, we see that she uses this as a coping mechanism throughout her many trials and tribulations, to say the least, somehow managing to keep a positive outlook. Encouraged to write by her teacher, her journal becomes almost symbolic as her transforming into a strong woman is recorded through her own words. Throughout the film multiple people are mean, degrading and outright cruel. She seems very tough and almost removed from the situation. As she was walking down the street, a group of boys began to mock her. One of the boys after taunting her without a reaction; violently shoves Precious causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground. She lays on the ground being ridiculed as she fades off into her fairytale, happy place. For a moment in time she can feel happiness. Only to be sometimes quite literally slapped back into reality; she continues and endures through the ciaos.The use of color in the film helps to emotionally guide the audience. Precious lives a pretty treacherous home life which is conveyed using dark colors and undertones. The gloomy feeling in her home was enhanced by their specific use of color. During a traumatic scene, she would drift off into her imagination, overtaken by vivid colors and smiling faces. The use of color intensified both scenes. The low-key lighting felt horribly depressing while the bright and vivid fairy tale brought us back to an optimistic hope of happiness. The film did this multiple times, conveying the true character of Clarisse Precious Jones. Even amidst the darkness; she chose to live in the light. When she had every reason to quit, she endured.The use of sound is also profound throughout the film. Mary seems to always be watching TV game shows and yelling over the sound. Typically the game show stars white characters, all the while Mary complains about white people as well as everything else. The noise of multiple people talking and laughing on the TV coupled with her mothers vulgar and violent outbursts; projected an anxious and somber tone in the home. The use of color and sound displayed the hate and tension Precious was surrounded with nearly at all times inside the home.This film reminded me of Gracie's Choice, which stars a young woman with a rocky upbringing, somewhat similar to Precious'. Gracie when faced with traumatic loss, remains optimistic and endures through what many people would allow to beat them down. As each movie progresses we begin to see a changes in the young females. Precious grows significantly as her dynamic personality and character develops; from an abused child into a brave and determined young mother. Plagued by a horrible and rocky upbringing, Precious is a bright and determined young woman.

This was one of the most disgusting movies I have ever watched to date. Although I will admit that the acting was superb I can not bring myself to give this movie a 10 because the story was so disgusting. Sidibe was molested by her father as a baby while her mother watched. She was also molested by her mother. Sidibe would later go on to be impregnated with her daughter/sister by her father. Sidibe was also beaten on a regular basis, lived in squalor and stole Fried Chicken from a local hole in the wall. When she was running down the street eating fried chicken, I died with laughter. I give high accolades for the acting to Kravitz, Cary, Paula and Monique. Avoid this movie at all cost. Also I'm beyond sick of all this political correctness surrounding weight. If you're fat as hell; then it is NOT healthy, end of story. If you are OBESE like Sidibe; then you probably have problems breathing, walking and digesting food not to mention the high chance of having heart problems, bad knees and diabetes. Fat is Wack and I don't care what Sports Illustrated Says. As our country becomes Fatter of course the movies, magazines, clothing companies and etcetera need to adhere to what is in demand and for who is demanding a product.Oh yeah, Sidibe's first child by her father had Down Syndrome. Great Story....
