Precious

After watching the film Precious my heart broke. This was a great film and even though I didn’t get to finish it I think it was amazing. Precious had to go through so much at such a young age and even got kicked out of school for something that she had no control over. Her father was the one that did that to her and why was she the one that had to suffer? Her life was so sad having to deal with a mother that honestly was not really a mother. She didn’t want Precious to go to school because it would affect her benefits that she was receiving and to me that is one of the saddest things a parent could do to their child. Her mother would tell her things that no one should ever have to hear especially from someone that gave life to them. But Precious didn’t listen to her mother and went to the school. What I really admired about Precious was how even though she was going through so much in her life she still found places in her mind where she could daydream about being a star and having a light skinned boyfriend; it was her own little safe haven which the school also was too. Her second child was her happiness and even though she knew that she could barely support herself that it was going to be difficult supporting another human being that needed her but she still tried her hardest. Overall I really enjoyed this film and I just have to finish it as well as read the book.
