Precious

So I went to see Preious and it was such a great film. Its directed by Lee Daniels based on the Story Push by Sapphire. Basically its about an obese teen names Clarise Precious Jones who is illiterate and pregnant with her second child by age 16. She enrolls in this alternative school with hopes to better herself and gain a better education but she has to deal with an abusive mother on top of all these other issues.
This movie was extremely real and heartfelt. It was a moving film that kept my eyes glued to the screen the entire time.It was so sad to see her experience all of the things she did and it definately makes you appreciate your own life and family. I think one of the messages was definately to perservere no matter what. Despite the odds and obstacles, you don't have to give up.I must say the entire cast did a great job and Monique really shocked me with the phenomenal job she did...Finally a movie worth my $10.00 lol if you havent seen it, go!
