Introduction
The movie "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" depicts the terrifying traumas that the movie's title heroine, Precious, goes through in an honest and unvarnished manner. The story, which is set in Harlem, delves into the turbulent life of a young African-American adolescent who is overcoming several obstacles. Significant trauma that resulted from physical, mental, and sexual abuse in her own household has shaped Precious's journey. Her battles with weight, illiteracy, and social exclusion exacerbate her problems and create an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and loneliness. This investigation delves into the many layers of Precious's life, analysing the main problems she faces and examining the efforts made by adults and experts to offer help. We want to understand the efficacy of therapies and suggest counselling objectives that have the potential to promote resilience, empowerment, and healing within a severely flawed system as we negotiate the intricacies of Precious's environment.
Main Character's Primary Issues
The protagonist of "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire," Precious, struggles with a variety of deeply affecting problems that have a significant influence on her life. The most significant of these difficulties is the trauma she experienced from being subjected to severe physical, mental, and sexual abuse by her own mother. This tragedy acts as a persistent and eerie backdrop, affecting every aspect of her life and sustaining a deep mental anguish and helplessness. Precious also has to deal with the obstacle of illiteracy, which restricts her educational opportunities and heightens her emotions of loneliness and inadequacy. Her weight exacerbates the difficulties she has by making her more vulnerable to criticism from society and making her battle with self-esteem worse.
When these problems come together, Precious is placed in a situation that is oppressive and characterised by trauma, illiteracy, and social shame. This accentuates the intricacy of her experiences and the severity of her psychological and emotional wounds. In order to help Precious achieve healing, empowerment, and a feeling of agency in her life, it becomes imperative that these fundamental concerns are addressed.
