Precious

Precious's story has more depth than breadth. The story itself is not overly dramatic, but this seemingly obvious story has a shocking thickness. The story begins by setting the audience in a very depressing, unfortunate, shocking state. Stories like this don't give the actors much room to express themselves. But, by the same token, a story of this thickness gives the actor a chance to impress the audience in an unusual way.


The director's handling and presentation of the story is worthy of a detailed understanding. Such an unfortunate story, in fact, it is easy to use very provocative lines and soundtracks to mobilize the emotions of all audiences without exception to an unforgettable height. However, every time the unfortunate feeling of the storyline reaches a climax, the director uses Precious fantasy and even some nonsensical music and scenes to pull the audience's sad mood back. This back-and-forth, controlled by the director, happens more than once in the film. If the movie can give the audience a thoroughly emotionally immersed enjoyment, then the movie ticket is also worth it. But Precious's approach eliminates the possibility of viewers being too moved and too emotional to think rationally. Perhaps this approach will keep the film in the audience's mind longer.
