Abstract(s)

It is our purpose to establish, in a parallel reading, these two films (highly rewarded), namely The Fence and Precious, that apparently being so different, are an illustration of the reality of life and the modern democratic world: the social uprooting and slavery. If in the movie of Philip Noyce and Christone Olsen The Fence, is told a story of three young Aboriginal girls who are forcibly taken to be transformed in domestic slaves, in the movie of Lee Daniels Precious, the young woman is already a servant in her own home and seeks the transformation of her life. Uniting these two stories, we find fundamental elements: literacy, ill-treatment, the idea of a migration (real or metaphysical), among others, but whose fundamental notion is the journey. If the film The Fence, the fence itself is used to conduct the three young Aboriginal to a real reunion with the family, in Precious, the metaphorical 'fence ' is the limit of her world. From these interpretation, we will undertake our reflection about what we consider to be the alienation of the modern world and the silence we produce about them.
