A Good Movie

As a follow on from the activity we did in class last week, I'd like you to write about a good movie you've seen recently. In my case, I think the best movie I've seen recently has been Precious. It's about a young, obese, un-educated, black girl growing up in inner-city slums in North America. She is abused by her mother's boyfriend and has a very difficult life. Her mother is a drug addict and she doesn’t have any faith in education. All she cares about is her next fix. Precious (the main character) doesn’t really have any friends or hobbies and she spends a lot of her time daydreaming about being famous.

This is not an easy film to watch although it does have some lighter moments. It's very well acted and filmed. I like this kind of movie because it shows that poor people suffer all over the world (it doesn't matter if it's the so called first world or the third world) and that education makes a big difference. I saw this film about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It doesn’t have a big name actor and I think it was made on a low budget. The leading actress is Gabourey Sidibe, I think this is her first film.
I recommend it but be sure to have some paper tissues close at hand because it is quite sad at times.

So, what good movie have you seen recently?

Write about a film.
