This film is about an overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child and is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can lead in a new direction.
The reason why I have chosen to analyse this film is because it's quite brutal and shows emotional struggles, most scenes connect with the audience and things that happen in the movie happen in some people's everyday lives. Her mother used to make Precious think she was a failure saying that education would never get her anywhere.
The category this film fits into is drama because of the abuse of her step father and he should have been someone she could trust and receive love and care from. As a result one of the children had down syndrome and unfortunately her mother was very violent and verbally abusive towards her. Precious's mum was jealous that her partner made her daughter pregnant and took it out on her.
The director is Lee Daniels the writers are Geoffery Fletcher for the screenplay version and for the novel Sapphire. The main people that star in this movie are Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'Nique Paula Patton lots of these actors were unknown and that means they didn't have to spend as much money.
The certificate of this film is a 15 because younger viewers will probably find most scenes upsetting and are not old enough to understand the concept of it.
Precious was made in the USA on the November 6 2009 The budget of the film was approximately $10,000,000 and earned a staggering 47,536,959 with earning almost four times the budget of the film is really encouraging especially because it's an independent film.
