The movie precious was a heart wrenching, brilliant, thought provoking, movie. I found myself forgetting about my surroundings and all of my attention was devoted to this amazing movie. There was so much depth in this movie and it was filmed in such a way that made the viewer feel as if they were there and in the mind of Precious.
My Mother, my Aunt Ericka, my Nana, and I decided to have a girl’s day. We had some tea (my aunt use to own a tea shop downtown Toronto called La Tea Da), some chips and dip (my mom’s favourite) and got comfortable on my nana’s amazing couches and watch the movie together. It was a very peaceful and relaxing time. We put the movie in and pressed play and the moment of peace and relaxation was stolen and replaced by sorrow and panic. We were about to go on a rollercoaster called Precious!
During the movie, all of us women, especially my mom, nana, and my aunt were triggered by past events that happened to them that were shown in this movie. They were able to relate so some degree to the pain that was felt by precious. I was analyzing the acting, the scenes, the nuances, and so much more while still grasping what was going on in the movie.
When the movie was over, we literally didn’t know what to do, say, or think. We were all still taking in what just happened and we were trying to formulate a conclusion for this movie. We eventually started to talk about how we felt and the things we liked and disliked.
One of the comments that were made was that major events that happened in the movie ended so suddenly, and the movie never concluded the emotion that the writer wanted the viewer to feel. My comment to that was that by not specifying the emotion that should be felt by the viewer, it left room for the viewer to feel their own emotion. I felt that this movie allowed people to feel emotions that are true to them. For example, if someone who gets angry at abuse were to watch this movie. They would be able to feel that angry instead of another emotion such as sadness because that was what they writer wanted to viewer to feel. I thought that this method was brilliant. People were able to relate to this movie sub consciously, and they had to freedom to feel what was natural to them.
Another thing i loved about this movie was its rawness and the realness that was given from all the actors. It felt that real life. I left the movie thinking that what i saw could be a reality for many people. The camera shots and movements made the movie even more authentic and real.
I can go on, and on about how much I loved this movie. I felt like there was soo much depth, sadness, and moments that can never be forgotten. Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique were amazing in this movie. I thought that Mo’Nique was brilliant. I never once saw Mo’Nique the queen of comedy. I saw am sick and twisted abusive mother who has gone through hell. Gabourey Sidibe played precious soo well that if i were to see her on the street i would want to hug her and cry. It would be very hard for me to separate the character from the actor because her performance was so amazing and memorable.
LOVED IT!!!!! I would give it 4.8 stars out of 5. I feel like watching it again!!!!
