Precious



I like to keep Poised Perfection relatively light-hearted. So I was hesitant to mention this movie on the blog. I knew that it would be a disturbing film after I read a synopsis online. It did indeed make me very uncomfortable on many occasions- at times it was right up there with movies like Schindler's List for me. However, the overall message is one hope and self-discovery. All of the actors (heck, even Lenny Kravitz) did an amazing job. Movies like Precious make the viewer think about their own lives. Are there really people like Precious out there? Are some people's lives really that tragic? I realize that I am indeed an extremely blessed individual, but movies like these make you think you're the luckiest person alive. Watch it and you won't be disappointed.
