Yea I am back in the blog studio
I was hit with the flu Friday and stayed in the hospital until today. I haven't felt this good for weeks. So this god forsaken move Precious comes out. Prior to doing this long awaited post, I was in Green Acres Movie theater last year listening to some skinny dark skin girl with glasses talk about the book made her cry. I just sort of shrugged and went to see some movie at the time. Then I saw the preview of some black chubby girl on the screen named Precious.
All I see is Fat ass Monique beating the timid girl with like a skillet. I was like "damn" she ain't even built like that. Some of my female readers will be offended by comments concerning this movie. But I have to tell the truth. My observation of the movie it was like people felt sorry for her ass. I am sure there was some superficial ending of some sort.
I know what people are going to say. (Heaving my chest, you are putting black girls down) (sounding like Family guy). Shut the fuck up. When you saw that Precious commercial, black girls cringed seeing that homely obese black girl. I don't know WHY black women can't be honest with themselves.
Evia and Sara wouldn't be caught dead with this girl in the street, much less on their blog. But they are always talking reciprocity. From my understanding, white men are not lining up for the "precious" black women of the world. If they are saying that, then they are full of shit.
For those who did not see this explotative movie by Tyler Cross Dressing Perry and Oprah "Winprey". Here is the synposis.
Gabourey Sibide looks and sounds a lot like the late Hattie MacDaniel; if a biopic about MacDaniel is ever made, Sibide should star. Starting from this superficiality, it is clear that the character Sibide plays, an abused, obese late- 20th-century Harlem teenager three or four generations down the line from the MacDaniels era, seems to embody a sadly ironic regression in the status of black women in America. Precious's very existence and her debased environment speak to a grave social disease that continues to poison our civilization – the creation and perpetuation of a dependent underclass. At one point Precious compares her self image to "black grease that needs to be wiped away." The horror of it all is that as dreadful as Precious's situation, she is actually better off than many others in similar straits. She is, despite obesity, strong and healthy, drug free and has a beautiful smile. There are plenty of underclass females much closer to an early grave and utter hopelessness than she.
The story takes us on the journey of this monstrously mistreated young female from near destruction at the hands of her violent, hyper-narcissistic mother (Mo'Nique) and her rapist father (who has impregnated her twice by age 16) to a rescue with the help of a frayed but still somewhat viable network of dedicated social workers who help her gain literacy and independence from her wicked elders.
Interspersed with the depressing realities of ghetto life is the constant flow of Precious's glamorous daydreams, the little fires generated by her undying spark of life, her only opening toward beauty and light, imagining herself wrapped in beautiful gowns, doted on by handsome men, cheered by adoring crowds on the red carpet; wealth, fame, as she knows them from the pop culture that is her only mental nourishment. For her mother and for herself, life is an endless round of TV–food–arguments-TV–food-arguments. In their dark and dingy apartment, practically the only illumination is from the TV screen.
Mo'Nique's performance is revelatory on multiple levels, down to the bone of the human condition and certainly up to the highest screen standards. It is bravura work. Sibide's performance is technically masterful but much of her effectiveness comes from her imposing physical presence; this is not meant to detract one iota from her acting skills – it is just a fact. The excellent supporting performances include a pleasing turn from singer Maria Carey as a down-to-earth social worker with a playful personality; it's an inventive characterization. But the whole cast excels and they should be honored for great ensemble work, especially the young ladies in the special education classroom.
Flaws? The pacing seems to slow down unnecessarily toward the end and Precious's educational progression seems a bit confused and not completely fleshed out, but this is minor stuff. This is a very inspired work of art by someone with a fresh vision. It is not preaching morals or slogans, just revealing truth.
This is the problem with Hollywood. They are always turning black girls into victims. How the fuck your rapist father get you pregnant twice at 16. It's like the child welfare services just said "fuck it" that is the only way the girl will get pregnant. All jokes aside, you think you could get a white girl prego twice and nobody notices it. But your going to point to the environment they grew up in.
I can't recall the poorest black community letting a rapist run wild. Especially if the child's father raped her. What the fuck is wrong with Oprah and her 'Celie" Obsession. It's like Oprah says "find me the most unattractive black girl and put her in a movie for hummilation. Oprah and Tyler gave up on a happy ending. I don't know if she went on to get an education or what. What they should have done is get her a gym membership. Lock her momma up. Give her kids to Maria Carey, Maria Carey a damn social worker now??? What the fuck is going on? Nick Canon her gym teacher now?
Hollywood is strange like that. They will put Halle Freakin Berry in "Losing Isiah". Put it this way you can put a ton of dirt on Halle Berry face and put her in homeless clothes. That is still HALLE BERRY. Now what they did instead, is put the most unattractive black girl in a movie and basically humiliate her. I highly doubt she will ever get a movie role again. Not even Tyler Perry taking that "on".
There is something seriously wrong with the black community.
The poor sellout black women banging their weaves on the keyboards mad as hell they don't show better images of black women. They won't say it. I say WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING.
The same sellout black women that accuses black men of being "color struck". Would NEVER EVER want to be PRECIOUS. The way they worship the balding beer belly white man. OH HELL NAW. They never ask themselves are white men "color struck". Next thing they are going to tell you is that white man are beating down the door of Precious with their penny loafers to date her. I remember when Evia defended Whoopi Goldberg. Man she actually did this. I said "alright". Now I want to see her defend "Precious". She will probably say some shit like
I know what you are saying Oprah Cosigned it right? This is the thing with Oprah. Oprah has issues because she feels in "her head" that she was just like "precious". Oprah was a good looking and even won a beauty pageant. It was the white man that badgered about her weight. Oprah carries those 'scars". From the Color Purple right on up.
Oprah spends a tremendous amount of money on makeup, hair and clothes. But turn around and make you want to feel bad for the obese black girl in poverty. I find that very disturbing.
I grew up with a lot of girls like "Precious". Eventually they blossom. They never had people " fawning" over them like in this movie. Some of them were shunned by the light skin black girls when I use to go to school. Unless they could fight or were childhood friends with the pretty girls.
Oh yea some of my detractors are leaving comments on blog. You are in the wrong place, at the wrong time, on the wrong blog, with the right man. You can't tell me shit. I'm a GROWN MAN!
