Don't be so negative...Great story and movie!! Agree with you, Boodreaux!!
I saw the movie, and although the subject matter is disturbiing, the performaces were fantastic, and Kudos to Sapphire, Oprah, Tyler, & Lee for an excellent movie! I bought the book and I will purchase the dvd
personally i hate movies that show how hate reins in our community as if nothing else exits but hate . as if we just put two feet on the floor and there hate is staring us in the face walk out of our door and again hate is there to greet us once more. holding onto welfare as if our very life depends on it. as much as i didnt want to see this movie my girlfriend insisted that we see that****.
Thank GOD that I or anyone I know has not been in Precious' situation. But those of you who are putting down this movie, you better wake up and smell the coffee, just because its not happening to you doesn't mean its not happening to others. Where is your concern when it comes to children being abused? What?...not happening to you so its not your problem. Pitiful. I pray that no one close to you ever needs your help when their in trouble.
How about we stop making black movies all together? We have a terrible problem with being the last to support our own. We can not keep finding excuses of why certain things in culture should be hidden and what should be shown. We need to take a stand and start supporting our own! I am sure while you are degrading Madea, Precious and other black movies, you are probably watching some movie or television show with no blacks,latinos or anyone in the African Diaspora staring in it and supporting it.
