This movie was about Precious, a 16 year-old obese black girl who was living a hell, her father raped her and her mother was abusing her.She was expecting her father's second child.Due to all these she started to acts indifferent in school so they transferred her to to a special learning facility.The plot was very simple and showed incredibly sad scenes. Mo'Nique's performance as Mary, the dominant mother who tortured and abuse Precious was incredible amazing. Precious was a hell of girl, she never gave up and she kept going even when things got worse for her.The performances of Mariah Carey, a honest and understanding Welfare officer, and Lenny Kravitz as the hospital nurse were so amazing. The rest of the cast were all good and you never got bored, this was for me one of the best emotional movie of the year

I cant say much of this movie, cause than there is no use for you to see it, cause you will have to ask Flixster to double up your profile, cause so much I will write about this movie, I will only say, rent it, or either dl it, or buy it....5 stars"

The acting was incredible and I don't recall seeing a child who is as fine actor as the boy who played Mohammed, and not for a moment did his acting ever get in the way of the story. I have not been to Iran but I could have never imagine that this place is so beautiful. The Color of Paradise takes viewers on a journey of faith,love and creates a masterpiece of emotion that is so beautiful in its simplicity and elegance it touches one's heart. I cried almost the whole movie. The movie does not preach and there is no need to; its richness lies in its ability to portray simple elements of nature. In places where Hollywood would have inserted blasting soundtracks, this movie simply lets nature echo in the background. Another masterpiece by Majid Majidi. I liked Children of Heaven but this one was way better in my point of view. The acting is superb. It's natural, these are no Hollywood-stars and it's refreshing to see that. The cinematography, just like in other films from Iran, is breath-taking. I am still speechless.

Departures is a beautiful and touching film about life and death. The film started with a little humor that had me amused in first hour, then I was slowly drawn into the story that turned to be a very touching and deeply film. The acting in this film was magnificent. Motoki Masahiro's performance was specially amazing, funny at times, but then he played the serious and professional scenes very convincingly. The narration was wonderful, it really sets the mood and tone of the following scenes. Yamazaki Tsutomu was also excellent as the lead character mentor. The film had incredibly nice flow and very well-directed. The music in this film played a huge role, expressing the lead character's feelings and harmonized with every scene. It was simply beautiful. No wonder Oscar winning film this year.
