In fact, I shouldn't have chosen a rainy afternoon to watch this movie, but the orange-yellow contrast of black, white and gray on the poster forced me to open the video.
The rape scene at the beginning of the film has become very visually impactful under the bizarre editing of lee daniels. Just a few seconds of the scene actually made me, a veteran of the battle, red eyes.
I especially love the director's use of the phantom lens in the film.
precious likes to throw herself into a dream world after being hit hard. When she was pushed down by gangsters on the street, when she was forced to eat by her mother. Also, when she was announced to have ez. Escape from reality in one's own imagination is something almost everyone does. It's like I sometimes tell myself I don't have to take the exam as long as I don't get up. For me, from my imagination, I still face a peaceful and comfortable life. But for her, after a few seconds of short-lived sweet dreams, it was a huge and oppressive dark reality. The more intense the pain in reality, the more dazzling the flamboyance in fantasy.
The phantom that saddens me the most is when she dresses up in front of the mirror on the first day of her elective school. What she saw in the mirror was a blond and slender white beauty; outside the mirror, she was still the bloated and inferior self.
I've always known that speaking is more painful than experiencing. When precious was going through everything, the director either used a black screen to cover up her pain, or turned the camera to her gorgeous dream world. But when she told Ryan about her illness, Lee daniels made the audience face her pain. Let her keep asking "Who will love me, who will love me" in front of the camera. Just like her mother at the end of the film.
Although she still has no job in the end, infected with Aiz, and has two children. But I still want to classify precious as an inspirational movie. Because she finally knew that someone loved her and was able to stand up and leave the mother who represented darkness. At least, she has herself - as if she stood in front of the mirror downstairs in the social security and saw that she was no longer with blond hair and snow-white skin, but she was still beautiful.
