Thread: Capone reviews the dark and devastating PRECIOUS!!!

Started 3 weeks, 6 days ago by aintitcool.com
Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I actually put off writing this review for several weeks after seeing it at the Chicago International Film Festival in mid-October because I simply could not bring myself to revisit some of the pain that resides in PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL 'PUSH' BY SAPPHIRE. I didn't want to contemplate a world in which Claireece Precious Jones (...

Yaaaaaaaay

Now THAT will be a depressing and emotional film.

I read this in high school, fucking rips your heart out and does things to it that you have never seen before. A child called it is a great book, but PUSH is its own animal. And that other Push movie, Tyler Perry should pull out the Madea costume and steal that name back!

I went to see a movie the night Precious was playing and checked about seeing the 2nd screening (the non $100/ticket red carpet one) and they were completely sold out and weren't going to add any more showings Although I do find it annoying that the title of the movie is not "Precious" but instead "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire"

It would seem typical that this movie becomes the big Oscar winner come Oscar time. Oscar has been weird lately.

Can't you just say AIDS? Its not like 'a certain disease' really masks it, especially with that 1987 tag.

And show that she is also sexually abused by her mother? That one part of the book where her mother makes her perform oral sex on her is just the stuff of evil. The book overall is just not a good experience. It is like "Requiem for a Dream". But I think Hollywood will be in for a shock because that book was a huge hit in Urban areas. And I know many African American women and people who have ...

Damnit, this was the role Michael Jackson was born to play!

@criticalbliss. I'm not an Obama fan either and for SOME of the reasons you state, but alan keyes is batshit crazy!! Ralph nader is a great obama critic. I agree with much of what he says. Peace. (And hopefully sleep)

I have been invited to visit the UK by my Internet friends. Two live in Glasgow and the rest live in London. I am saving up to visit sometime next year. With the global recession hitting everyone very hard, I think people are reconsidering their educational choices. I majored in the sciences and I had very few Blacks in any of my classes. I am now working in the IT field where the disparities are even more apparent. Sadly, math and Sscience...

In fact we should call them Man-santo because if any corporation can be said to represent The Man, it is them. What they have done, and are doing, to farmers and consumers is unconscionable. But what to expect from people who have no conscience. Yet keep in mind they are color blind. They have fucked people of every race and creed, the world over. Anyways, look forward. If you ever decide to open a farmers market in the hood, I wish you well...

I looked @ it on my phone right now and first I saw a shattered fat sillhouette (spl?) and when I scrolled down there's a hand created by the space around her and the fingers go deep inside her and help to create the shattered look of the picture. Idk if I described it accurately and I don't know how to do that tinyurl crap so just go on wiki and see for yourself.

TYLER PERRY AND OPRAH
Published (2009-11-09 21:23:00)
I heard they put their names on the movie ("Present") and nothing more. I'm sure they threw some pennies at it but they had nothing to do with any artistic aspect...which of course makes me happy (AS PER THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW-Lou Loumenick)

Blame other Black Filmmakers for not capitalizing on their fame when they had the chance. Tyler makes similar movies built to please his audience. And so? What's the problem? When a white film maker like The Cohen Brothers does something similar, no one complains. You can't blame the man for making films on meager budgets that make millions for him. You can't be mad at the man who makes at least 2 movies a year, that end up...

Before he entered the race for president was Barack Obama well known amongst the black community in the USA? Even when I visited the US it seemed like SUCCESS was always more respected than intelligence/education and that may be the problem. All over the world black people have had more PUBLICLY VISIBLE success through sports and entertainment, than through politics and science, which may lead to the idea in young black people that you do NOT...
