Precious Movie

I just saw the movie "Precious" for the first time tonight. It was definitely a powerful film. It had a lot of emotion and feeling, realism, and it managed to keep me interested in the things happening. There were soooo many good performances, of course Gabourey Sidibey was really good especially for a newbie. Mo'nique was awesome, especially in the final scene! Amazing acting, it was so realistic and heartfelt. Mariah Carey was even pretty good. I mean I didn't see it coming from her lol.

The movies is basically about a teenager black girl who is dark-skinned, overweight, and has been raped by her stepfather since she was a little girl and ultimately making two babies by him (the 2nd she gives birth to in the movie). I really truly admire how this movie didn't try to glamorize or beautify a very real problem in the black community; which is problems between mothers and daughters. Child molestation and incest of course. Teen pregnancy, obesity, skin color and issues with body image. I mean I have seen how many movies showing the drama of a teenage white girl with problems, so I'm glad that there is a good movie showing the trauma that a lot of young black women go through as well.

Some people said that the performances weren't good, and along with talking about her weight, Howard little-dick Stern and sellout-to-the-max and slave bitch co-host Robin No-Last-Name said that Gabourey's acting was terrible. Uhmm, not to me. I can't really think of any parts that she didn't make me remember that she was Precious. And since when were Howard and bitch Robin ever in a movie? I can't seem to remember any. Hmm. Weird. Okay I have to say it. Mariah was looking pretty old. Yea, she was kind of looking OVER forty, which I don't know how old she is but she looked about early to mid forties in the movie. I take it she wasn't wearing much makeup? Eh, doesn't matter.

There were a few parts in the movie that came close to tear jerking for me, but I didn't quite get there. And there were even some really side-splitting funny parts, that of course you can only get from Mo'nique lol. I would certainly recommend this movie to others and I want it on DVD.
