ok, so I read the book and saw the movie. Loved each one for different reasons. The book is always better but kudos on the film. All I really want to comment on is how many people brought their young children to the viewing I saw tonight. I really can’t get over how some parents rationalize. What would ever make you think it’s ok to bring a child at an impressionable age to a film about abuse and incest??? Did they think it was a movie about a singing cat? Kinda grossed out and dissapointed. Not only was there an infant there but kids in elementary school laughing every time they heard a cuss word or the mother was abusive to Clarice. It’s a sad world we live in.

The overall story line was good, the movie is a bit overrated. There should have been more of a story. Mariah Carey was overrated also she was barely in the movie to have been said to act so well

Healed by the “True and Living God”, careful your wounds are still showing. It appears that this movie dug deeper into scabbed over wounds. God is not limited in anything He does and will use what He chooses to initiate healing. I agree that healing comes only from The Most High God, but He does move through people Christian or otherwise, if He so chooses. I suggest you seek Our Lord and Savior for the deeper healing that you so deserve. He is complete in all that He does and He has more healing for you so that you too will be an instrument of His Healing Love. May God Bless you and use you to set the captive free. The movie sounds like it is in line with what God is doing in this season. Healing the broken and wounded and seting the captive free!!!

What makes the producers think this movie can “heal” someone is my question? What it does is opens wounds in many cases that man cannot heal. Yet there is a “True and Living God in Heaven with His Son Jesus” that can. I was molested for 9 years as a child and until I accepted Christ in my life, I was messed up, living for the devil and going to hell in a hand basket. This movie was negative in nature and the ending had no meaning at all. She left her mother at 17 with two children, practially homeless, no education, HIV positive, black and poor. So just because she stood up and left her mother, that was closure. Reality Check! The rich are getting richer and if they have to “sell out” their own kind, they can, they will and they have! If you’re hurting from being molested, I pray that you’ll seek God in prayer for ture “HEALING”. You healing isn’t in this movie at all! The enemy has tricked a lot of people but I pray that God shows Himself Mighty and Strong in this day of evil.

God Bless “Always”

Its been awhile since I’ve actually seen a really good movie, but then I saw this amazing film. Precious’ life was filled with obstacles that most other teenagers don’t have to face. I cried throughout a lot of the movie but also realized that this was not just another sad movie that will only leave most viewers in tears. It teaches you about strength, courage, and hope as well. The actors all did so well and of course I have to mention Mo’Nique’s amazing performance as Precious’ evil mother. I love this movie and I definetly wouldn’t mind seeing it again and again:)

After seeing an advance screening of Daniels’ “Precious” two weeks ago, I am still moved. By far, the most outstanding performance is Mo’Nique as Mary, Precious’ mother. From her utterance of her first insult to Precious, the audience knows that comedian Mo’Nique has been inhabited by a actress of Meryl Streep caliber. Monique’s delivery of Mary is so thoroughly convincing that it is an injustice to call her execution a performance. I’d warn viewer that the movie is difficult to finish. On several occasions, I considered walking out. The cinematic tragedy of Precious’ life both beautiful and suffocating.
