@0Weblas0 I just thank the Lord that my parents were never abusive or anything and I was never even spanked or hit as a kid and no male in the family or anyone period ever abused me sexually in any way. Watching that movie made me so sad for Precious and so angey at that crazy mother. But MoNique did play that part very well.
Mo'Nique really played that part so well she made me hate that character, that mother was really insane and really was a monster. That movie was really deep and disturbing that someone can even be that way.
@astrophysicist40 why on every video about Gabby or pertaining to Precious you you comment about she doesn't need to be in the lime light "but you like her"?! Your mentality is why women are sticking their fingers down their throat! Smh Do me a favor get a life a learn about true beauty because Hollywood ain't baby!
She TOTALLY deserved her Oscar. I was even surprised about Mariah Carey. I had this pre-judgment that Mariah is just a Diva/Awesome singer...she can't act. Monique, Carey and Sidibe were FANTASTIC actresses in this film.
Her character may be fictional, but I've seen people just like her. Their families have long histories of incest, family violence, and other disgusting habits. The only feeling they have is anger.
I'm sorry if this comment offends anyone, but I honestly believe that the scene where she says, "he" (her husband) didn't stick it in the ass as a response to Precious's concern for her regarding an Aids test was absolutely hysterical.
Excellent answers, she's has a very eloquent with explaining things, and is well-spoken. She does any amazing job explaining and describing how she feels.
@westkiller1234 What do u mean "Y"??..I have had the honor of meeting her in person and she is as she appearss. I just think she's real down to earth and represents well for (us) her black people ..thats all I meant...I know a good soul when I c one and Mo' definitely has a good soul.
I could easily tell that Mo'NIque had a very difficult time talking about her role in this movie because of its nature. She was amazing in the movie though. You go girl!
@EnglishTurtle you have to look past what she does and think about why she does it. all of us are born innocent babys and know one is born evil, evil has to be intruduced to them.
She was brilliant in that role. She totally deserved the Oscar. Totally. And even though at the end they let her tell her story and made her a 'sympathetic character', she still got no redemption. She lost everything and could not recover from her mistakes. GREAT writing.
@hazelwitchhazel Not necessarily. The character "Precious" is actually a combination of students Sapphire knew during her years as a G.E.D. instructor. She also combined elements of her own life into the book.
And the fucked up part about this is that I work at a grocery store and I see her character in real life and it hurts me when I see it. You won't believe the type of people that exist in this world.
Not trying to battle you or anything but... You cannot base someones life and reasons on looks and split second on conversation that includes plastic or paper.
You shouldnt not pity those who may look similar to her and may have a sassy attitude because their life could be better than yours even though they may not have as much money as you.
OMG! I cannot believe these ignorant fools writing crap. Blondie, it is NOT your world, your ancestors came in the bowels of a ship with the rats, and the lice and were treated bad by people like you. All of a sudden is your land? NO, It is the Native Americans' land, NOT yours. Besides, the white race is becoming extinct, haven't you heard? dumb ass?
@soniaartist Exactly. Within 50-100 years, there will be no single race. No Mexicans, no Blacks/African Americans, no Asian Americans, no Whites...we will all be one singular race. We will all be recognized as multiracial.
@junhuji33: I agree withTasuki335, it sounds to me that you dislike your look and life style. So why sit and bash a celebrity that has a great career and making good money?
look at Monique, beautiful, strong, articulate, wonderful, strong, and i feel she should have gotten THE AWARD OSCAR, i have so much respect for her, never before as a commedian, thought she was just ranchy, as an actress i love her and respect her, we are giving so much to Precious, understandibly so but MONIQUE character was the true acting, dynamic
@blondex21 i know how you feel! i thought the same thing! but then i found out shes going to be on a new SHOWTIME DRAMA ahaha Oprah knew what she way saying ahahhaha
Honey you need to do hopmework before you post things like that. Look at all the book that oprah has backed that have been written by caucasion writers, Look at most of oprah's audience is caucasion. Oprah supports eveyone honey...
@blondex21 Do the research on "Aunt Jemima" and find out who she really is. You spoke of her as if she would be a disgraceful character to play. No, "Gaby" can't play the typical blonde, she's smarter than that. She'll make her own way in life and critics like YOU won't stop what her destiny is. Even if she doesn't do another movie, she's made a mark that....ummmm YOU haven't. It might be your world but she sure is running more of it than you are. Can you say RED CARPET? LOL
How do you know? what makes you think I never walked the red carpet? As for'Gaby' making her own way in life, she won't have a very long one unless she has a salad now and then....
Queen Latifah is just as big... and she has and always will accomplish a lot... stop hating sweet heart. If you don't believe me GOOGLE her and you will see for yourself.
You sound like a person who has no confidence in their self and likes to nag on others how perfect they should be because your not.
@blondex21 I read the comment you sent about her needing to eat a salad now and again. I agree, her health should be the number one issue..but YOU have taken it to a lower level, her appearance. Having an intelligent discussion concerning health issues is one thing... attacking her because she isn't anorexic and blonde is another. You said how do I know you haven't walked the red carpet? LOL...ummm, let's just say that you give good hints that you haven't!
Congratulations Mo' Nique on your win! I am so proud of you! I hope you get to see this post- I will remember this for the rest of my life. You carried yourself like a true goddess-good for you
Monique did a great job but I just saw a bunch of hell in that movie... the chicken stealing.....wow....I just loved when they showed that clip at the oscars........the darkness is in the film but the absence of light....meaning God....is a no for me....I've been thru some hell in my life and so have others I know but something can always be learned from it and God sees us thru......WERE WAS THAT IN PRECIOUS.....What was to be learned from this movie besides a horrible look at molestation
@reejuice2 The real puspose was to display that everyone is who they are because of/ or in spite of their past...many ppl wld look at a person like Precious(overweigh, illiterate,low self esteem, mother of 2 illegitimate children) and demonize her but all of those things were a result of something that was beyond her control...knowing someones past helps you understand their present
Mo'Nique plays a mentally ill mother in Precious. Not anything you named up there. So if you know nothing about what GOOD ACTING is, then SHUT THE FUCK UP, and get some education.
god....I will never understand America...are you (Blacks and Whites) going to be fucked up by the color of your skin forever?
it is true that African Americans have not been represented well through the history of Oscars but c'mon...Mo Nique was amazing in this movie...and you know why it is a triumph? listen to her speech...Regards
I was really surprised at how well she did in the movie because she's a comedian. Now I know she's also a dramatic actress. Her speech at the end of the movie is terrific. I read some of the prior comments and no not understand the sellout perspective. She's an actress!
@Thomistica this movie was chilling to me...her character is exactly like my mom and i daydream a better place just like precious...i didnt realize it was that dark until seeing the film
Monique's performance in this movie was amazing. I'm so used to seeing her in comical roles, but she pulled this role off so well. She definately deserves an award for this.
If PUSH means "Pray Until Something Happens" then it's the opposite of empowerment. People should be encouraged to make things happen not pray for them.
i almost shit my pants when she yelled and cursed and ran up the stairs to beat her "daughter" precious. Mo'nique was that great that she made me believe she can beat the shit out of anyone.
The director, the cast, and everyone else who had anything to do with making this movie did a phenomenal job. This was a really excellent film and I encourage anyone who has ever felt down on them self to go take this movie in. Moreover, I must applaud Mo'nique, she was exceptional in this movie as was the entire cast but Mo'nique nailed the character so well that even though you hated her and what she was about, you felt bad for her and wanted to know how she got the way she was.
how did moniqure seell her self i don't get it she was great int his movie and showed she can be more then a comedain she be be a true actress i love this movie
This is whats wrong with us! People wake up, shit like this actually happens to kids and the last thing we need to do is shove it under the rug. Stories like this needs to be told. Not every movie has to be a fairy tale, because thats not how real life is. Monique was damn good in this movie and so was the rest of the cast. I loved the movie.
When you are making art that sends a clear and important message...NOBODY involved is selling out.
Mo'Nique...I wish you all the best. You've made me laugh (saw you live at Disney World last year) and now you've impressed me in yet another marvelous way.
Did anyone who is screaming "exploitation" and "selling out" even SEE the movie? No one sold out anything. The wonderful actors in this movie brought the book to LIFE in the greatest way. THIS STUFF IS NOT MADE UP, ITS A LOT OF PEOPLE'S REALITY. Mo'Nique played her heart out, and so did Sidibe and Carey and Patton. They deserve recognition and praise.
i don't understand why it's okay to make movies about white crackwhores living in trailor-trash America, yet people complain when the lives of misunderstood black women are depicted in film. Your argument is ludicrous- calling Monique a sellout.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Clydestl1 I agree! Monique, Tyler Perry, AND dare I even say OPRAH has sold their soul for the money. This movie is a prime example of black exploitation ad opportunism. I want to ask them all why do they feel the need to make a movie about a black child getting raped while her mother watches and pig feet is boiling on the stove?
you guys are taking this way to seriously! its a movie! The things that are going on in the movie do happen in real life. they're cruel & harsh but at the end of the day what you need to realize is that these are characters chosen to tell a great story. In my opinion they couldnt have picked a better cast! They told a great story & ultimately its gonna end up helping someone. How are they sellouts?!
These aren't issues that only affect blacks! All races go through abuse!
@Futuregoddess2010 Thanx for your comment!! I'm sick of people adding more to things that don't necessarily needs it. I think this movie gave a voice to a lot of people that we see everyday and just write off at times. Incest.poverty,abuse happens. It's the people that are able to stop this cycle of b.s. or at the very least do something positive for the victim of it and does nothing are the true sellouts.
@0Weblas0 I just thank the Lord that my parents were never abusive or anything and I was never even spanked or hit as a kid and no male in the family or anyone period ever abused me sexually in any way. Watching that movie made me so sad for Precious and so angey at that crazy mother. But MoNique did play that part very well.

I was really surprised at how well she did in the movie because she's a comedian. Now I know she's also a dramatic actress. Her speech at the end of the movie is terrific. I read some of the prior comments and no not understand the sellout perspective. She's an actress!

Monique's performance in this movie was amazing. I'm so used to seeing her in comical roles, but she pulled this role off so well. She definately deserves an award for this.

If PUSH means "Pray Until Something Happens" then it's the opposite of empowerment. People should be encouraged to make things happen not pray for them.

The director, the cast, and everyone else who had anything to do with making this movie did a phenomenal job. This was a really excellent film and I encourage anyone who has ever felt down on them self to go take this movie in. Moreover, I must applaud Mo'nique, she was exceptional in this movie as was the entire cast but Mo'nique nailed the character so well that even though you hated her and what she was about, you felt bad for her and wanted to know how she got the way she was.

How in the hell is monique a sellout?!?!?!
This is whats wrong with us! People wake up, shit like this actually happens to kids and the last thing we need to do is shove it under the rug. Stories like this needs to be told. Not every movie has to be a fairy tale, because thats not how real life is. Monique was damn good in this movie and so was the rest of the cast. I loved the movie.

When you are making art that sends a clear and important message...NOBODY involved is selling out.
Mo'Nique...I wish you all the best. You've made me laugh (saw you live at Disney World last year) and now you've impressed me in yet another marvelous way.
DeweyTeeVee 2 years ago 2
Did anyone who is screaming "exploitation" and "selling out" even SEE the movie? No one sold out anything. The wonderful actors in this movie brought the book to LIFE in the greatest way. THIS STUFF IS NOT MADE UP, ITS A LOT OF PEOPLE'S REALITY. Mo'Nique played her heart out, and so did Sidibe and Carey and Patton. They deserve recognition and praise.

i don't understand why it's okay to make movies about white crackwhores living in trailor-trash America, yet people complain when the lives of misunderstood black women are depicted in film. Your argument is ludicrous- calling Monique a sellout.

Monique has sold her soul for the mighty dollar. Did you have to be in this movie. I will never watch anything she is in ever again.

Clydestl1 I agree! Monique, Tyler Perry, AND dare I even say OPRAH has sold their soul for the money. This movie is a prime example of black exploitation ad opportunism. I want to ask them all why do they feel the need to make a movie about a black child getting raped while her mother watches and pig feet is boiling on the stove?
Prenique 2 years ago
you guys are taking this way to seriously! its a movie! The things that are going on in the movie do happen in real life. they're cruel & harsh but at the end of the day what you need to realize is that these are characters chosen to tell a great story. In my opinion they couldnt have picked a better cast! They told a great story & ultimately its gonna end up helping someone. How are they sellouts?!
These aren't issues that only affect blacks! All races go through abuse!
Futuregoddess2010 2 years ago 3
@Futuregoddess2010 Thanx for your comment!! I'm sick of people adding more to things that don't necessarily needs it. I think this movie gave a voice to a lot of people that we see everyday and just write off at times. Incest.poverty,abuse happens. It's the people that are able to stop this cycle of b.s. or at the very least do something positive for the victim of it and does nothing are the true sellouts.
