Life is hard. Life is short. Life is painful. Life is rich. Life is....Precious. The title of the movie we watched this time is entitled Precious. What this sixteen year old girl goes through is simply unbearable but she goes through it anyway. This movie doesn’t really put importance on the teacher but the teacher does influence her in a way. Following the discovery of Precious' second pregnancy (by her father), she is expelled from school. Her junior high school principal arranges to have her attend an alternative school, which she hopes can help Precious change her life's direction. Precious finds a way out of her traumatic daily existence through imagination and fantasy. In her mind, there is another world where she is loved and appreciated. The teacher in the alternative school, Miss Blu Rain helps her to learn to read. Precious in the end learns how to read and write. The movies ends with Precious determined to take care of her two children in a very young age with one child who is Down syndrome. It is a sad story yet tells the audience that no matter how hard life is, there is always a way to come out from it. This girl proved it in a very young age. I pray and hope whoever goes through this kind of trauma can come out of it soon.
