Precious


Life is Hard. Life is Short. Life is Painful. Life is Rich. Life is… Precious.

Precious Jones will steal your heart because of the hardships she experienced in her life. I was deeply saddened by the movie. I cannot bear seeing Precious being abused by the people who are supposed to take care of him: her parents. I saw in the movie how Precious lived a not-so-ordinary life. At an early age she experienced abusive acts from her mother and she was even raped by her father. Where is CARE here? The people who are expected to take care of her, nurture her, support her, were the ones who destroy the beautiful life that awaits her. She grew up poor, illiterate, angry and unloved.

What’s more devastating is that Precious have a hard time trusting people that surround her and it’s even harder for her to accept her parents’ apology.

The Longest Journey begins with a Single Step.
