[I.A.S.K.]

So, I saw precious and it was good. It wasn't great because I read the book and it is almost inevitable that if you read the book first you are disappointed by the movie. While watching it you can tell that this was not originally a major motion picture. The quality of some of the shots and just how they were shot left a lot to be desired in some places. There were unnecessary diversions from the original story. There were also a few scenes that fell short for me. The intent was there, but the emotional connection on screen was lacking. Even with all of the short commings this was still a really good movie.


I would also have to disagree with the opinion that all of the "saviors" being light skinned was based on the directors or hollywood's "colorism". If you read the book, that is how the story is told (well partially). Even though some of the roles are inaccurate the skin color and "colorism" was pretty much correct.
