Not so "Precious"

Its very early right now. Troy ( my patient) is still asleep. We watched a movie tonight that I didn't care for at all, Precious.It being nominated for 6 academy awards I just knew it was going to be an amazing movie, after all Avatar was wonderful and they went on about this movie to. Much to my surprise it was not anything like I expected. 
 
I started watching this expecting to see a story about an uneducated woman who goes above and beyond any and all expectations that anyone had for her. In the story you really see all her struggles and her achievements that she strives for, but the story plat was so horrid that I spent most of my time thinking about what she was going through and about how awful people are, I didn't even notice her accomplishments. 

 
The story which included incest, rape, physical and emotional abuse left my stomach so upset that I actually recommend against this movie. I will never watch this movie again, and I think it spent so much time focusing on the negative we never fully seen the positive. The only thing I will say is the actress that played the mother in the movie had to go to such a dark place to get into this actually role that I'm sure she had to go to some major therapy afterwards!
