A Synopsis Of The Movie 'Precious'

Titanic is about a 100-year-old woman who was named Rose DeWitt Bukator tells the story to her granddaughter Lizzy Calvert on the Keldysh about her life set in April 10th 1912, on a ship called Titanic. The plot involves a love affair between a penniless artist, Jack Dawson, and the fiancée of a rich aristocrat, Rose DeWitt Bukater. Who even though the both didn’t have much in common when it came to possessions. They were both humble people who truly fall in love with one another. Basically the moral of the story seems to be that the rich people were stuck up and greedy, while there was some stereotype in this movie when it came to possessions. Back then people were either considered rich or poor. I think that movies like “Titanic” having
to do with past events documentaries teach us pretty well on the history on that movie. For people who never heard or watched the movie they can get a good outlook and educated if they never heard of it.
This movie “Precious” has a lot to do with values and the importance of a person who struggles from so much trying to make what’s best for her.
It’s about is a 16 year-old African American teen who lives in with her dysfunctional mother. Her family is on welfare, and lives in a drug-infested neighborhood. Precious is physical abuse by her mother, and sexual abuse by both parents. Despite her low self confidence, we see some sort of hope that seems to come from inside her. She ends up getting interested in this special school and she’s curios in seeing how it may help her take the risk to try it out. Precious wants to make her life better, which is a big impact in her life. She makes it clear that she wants a better life than she sees her mother having. Overall she tries to make something positive come out of a lot of negative things she went through in her life. This shows us that she has good values because wants to improve herself as an individual and works hard on with what she has planned for her and her child. the movie “Precious” does have a good value on how a person who’s been through so much and stereotyped, can overcome and still change their lives in a positive way. Being that she’s been through rough life, she wants to better her life as for her child. And that takes a lot of determination and mental thinking to come out of what’s she was use
to.
Last, a favorite movie called “Save the last dance” is significant because it deals with stereotypes. It’s about a white girl who moves to Chicago, where there she meets her new boyfriend. He is a black teen from a rough neighborhood and has a semi-criminal past. You can a see that she moves to this school and has a hard time being accepted because people judge her because she is white. And most of them are African American. She moved there because her mother died and moved in with her father because that’s we he lived. She goes through a tremendous hardship and through this movie it shows you that people are judged by looks, nationality, color etc. These two share one thing in common and that’s the love for dance. They don’t see color as an issue and fall in love with each other. Besides what people talk about them, they stick by each other regardless.
