Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire opened this weekend to $1.8 million from only 18 locations. That’s a record breaking location average of $100,000 for each movie theater. It is obvious people want to see this movie.
Precious has been on the festival circuit, getting rave reviews with some strong backers: Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. It looks like the reviews and support from Winfrey and Perry paid off.
How can someone sit through Precious as entertainment because the subject matter is not upbeat or fanciful? Even on talk shows like Ellen, it’s mentioned that the movie is not easy to watch because it’s very sad and emotionally draining.
With that said, I go to the movies to escape from problems of the world and not worry about the problems of society. Movies like Precious bring our awareness up to a point we can face the problems? Sure, something needs to be done about these types of social ills. Yet, they continue to exist. Does a movie resolve the problem or do we need to find workable solutions that really work not false successes?
What do you think?
