Precious is an obese black girl, a middle school student, who unfortunately became pregnant for the second time and was ordered to drop out of school. She lives with her mother, can't read, doesn't understand anything, and often has to endure her mother's domestic violence. Even more unfortunate is that it was her father who made her pregnant, and because of this, her mother regarded her as an enemy, and her first child was a person with Down syndrome. Whenever pain strikes, all she can use to hedge against is the fantasy of being a star. In her dark life, she never saw a ray of light, and she never had the opportunity to express herself. The only way she could express herself was with her fists.
The teacher's last home visit from the original middle school, despite being turned away, the female teacher insisted on telling Precious on the walkie-talkie of an alternative teaching institution she could choose, and in the roar of her mother, Precious took note, and ,went. Together with a group of troubled teenagers, become a student of Mr. Ryan. It was this teacher Ryan who gave each of her students a journal, and she just taught them, reading, and expression. Precious has never expressed herself in public, but for the first time, while learning to read and express, she feels the love of others for the first time because of an unexpected birth. All of this was like a little sunlight leaking from the dark clouds, which made her see the still warm side of the world, and even the staff member of the welfare agency became brighter. She finally mustered the courage to break away from her mother's control, raised her two children independently, and, through her own efforts, passed the cultural test and opened the door to the future for herself.
There are many touching scenes in the whole film. The most unforgettable thing is that Precious was kicked out of the house by her mother and could only take her child to spend the night in the classroom. She almost lost the courage to survive. However, Ryan encouraged her, Precious doesn't know what she's supposed to live for, Ryan says it's love, Precious replies that she never got love, and Ryan tells her she has, her kids, and Ryan. The conversation was calm and gentle, but shocking. The film narrates such a heavy topic, but is often smeared by the director with a reversed color and sound, except for the too foul-mouthed dialogue, everything else is within the range that I can accept. Almost all of the people in the film are women, and the only male nurse is obviously feminine. Moreover, almost all the women in the film have various problems. Even Teacher Ryan is also a "lesbian". "By. From this, it is not difficult to see that even though society has entered the 21st century, women are still at the low end of society. The problems they face are far from being solved overnight. Except for the power of society, women's self-awakening is still a problem. An essential prerequisite, and education, reading, and expression are the foundations for women's awakening. This is true in the United States, all over the world, and in China as well.
I'm not sure if there is a story like Precious in China. It is said that in the United States, although this is a fictional story, the authenticity of the story is unquestionable. Even the queen of talk shows, Oprah, admitted that she saw herself in this story. childhood. When I first saw this film, I was blown away because such a story was a bit out of my reach. However, I was told by more sources to accept this fact. I also know that whether March 8th or women's desire to pursue equality and freedom is a long road in reality with no end in sight. Personally speaking, whether it is a rich girl like Simon Powa or a low-level girl like Precious, reading and education are the only way to go to the world, see the world clearly, and use it for the world. Therefore, the value of education cannot be overestimated in any way.
