Don't be a Plum!
sometimes people really piss me off…. so then I watch a movie

• 9 December 2009

This film is a really good one. It’s got lots of celebrity cameos in it, including Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz. The main characters in the film are called Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) and Mo’Nique (her mother). It was produced jointly by Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.

This film is definitely a tragedy/drama. I’ll just tell you the tragic things that happened in this film. This girl named Precious had been impregnated twice by her father. The first child has down syndrome and the second hasn’t been born yet when the film begins. Precious’ mother is physically, emotionally and sexually abusive towards her. Precious can’t read. Precious realises her father has given her HIV…. The film has one bad thing happening after another!

I guess the point of it is that this young woman’s spirit has withstood all the bad things that have happened to her and she is still sensitive and nice and interested and hopeful about life and the people around her. And she absolutely loves her son when he is born.

I am interested to see what other people have to say about the film. I don’t usually read reviews after I’ve seen a movie, but now I’m interested to know what people think of it, because there really isn’t a similar film like it out there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially because of the performances in it by Mo’Nique and Gabby Sidibe! They are  chilling and you can almost relate to them even though they are talking about extreme things that most of us have no idea about.
