PRECIOUS

The new movie, Precious, comes out on November 6. Who is planning to do and see it. I really haven't cared too much for Director Lee Daniels since Monster's Ball, but I figure I might do right and go and see this one.

I think I will see it, but I know I wouldnt be able to handle seeing it at a theatre. Think I will wait til it comes on DVD. I'll do better watching it at home rather the theatre..pretty much; ▶ Reply to This

Its by no means an easy road for Precious, but it goes to show that you just never know what people go through. Anybody that would judge a girl like her based on appearance and the fact that she's uneducated gets to watch her reveal her layers. Everybody has a story, and unfortunately there are many young people whose lives aren't peaches and cream.; ▶ Reply to This

Now ya'll know sista girl likes to read but for some reason I cannot pick up this book....sigh....my childhood was so bad that people really do not understand it. I have written about it as a fictional story but really it is MY story and people are like DAMN WHAT THE HELL??! And I find it funny because that is MY life but even reading it I am like DAMN okay this has GOT to be fiction because no one could live through this...it is a trip....so with Precious being out I am like DAMN okay how I am gonna make it through this movie?! I know I will not make it through it and it is like reliving my childhood all over again. BUT I am gonna get through it and go. It opens on the 20th here and I will be there, cringing because I am scared to see that only because of what I KNOW it will bring up for me. Damn!; ▶ Reply to This
