...oral sex?
The scene where Mary is pleasuring herself and she calls Precious in the room, was that to imply that she make her go down on her? What kind of sick movie is this?

I haven't seen the movie, but in the novel it does happen.

Then the mother is even sicker and more evil than I was giving her credit for. I just caught this on regular cable, so it was edited a lot from the R rated movie. Makes me want to cry even more for that poor girl.

Yep seems that way. Poor girl, as if getting raped by her father isn't sick enough!

Ashmi any question

That's the part of the story that goes way, way too far for me. I alway skip that in the film and ignore its existence, I mean they don't even mention it anywhere else; it's almost as though the author paused and wondered if Precious's story was REALLY pathetic enough. I don't even really believe that Precious, at that point in her life when she was strong and standing up for herself more than ever, would really run and do that.

I am sure that for America the story seems unrealistic and too much.
But stories like this are way too common in other parts of the world. south America, africa, India, etc.

there are places that make Precious story seem like a Disney movie. kids that are sold by their parents, people that live in sewers, in garbage dumps, kids that don't even have clothes.

if you really searched for how people live in some places, like I said this movie would seem like made by Disney

( I am not saying that the struggle of people in America is not bad enough or that they should be okay with it, My point is that if the story seems too ridiculous and far fetched to be real, in some parts of the world it is very real)

right....

I think it's too much, period; if someone finds an awful true story, fine, but we don't need to layer fiction with such nastiness, or DETAIL as the book had. Besides, desperate parents selling their kids in marriage or as servants is more realistic than both parents happening to be separate pedophiliac abusers. And nothing could make this feel like a Disney movie.

south america IS part of america, and africa is not a country, so why are you listing it like it is? and mother/child sexual abuse happens A LOT

what is your point? really? honestly, are you just trolling? what is your point in regards to the thread?
Are you here just to be an annoying pain in the neck? I said other parts of the world....you really are just here to be annoying and add nothing to the conversation aren't you

[–] ThoseLittleRabbits 10 years ago

it's annoying when people like you group africa has if africa is a third world country. yet you never do that to any other continent. or do you just not know any countries in africa, except south africa?

What kind of sick movie is this?

How is the movie "sick"? This stuff happens all over the world, the movie is just telling it how it is.

[–] shandifox 10 years ago

Are you serious? What part of the world do you live in where that behavior isn't sick? I'm not talking about the rest of the world. I'm talking about this movie. Let's stay on track here. What Precious's mom made her do was sick behavior, regardless of what the rest of the world does or not.

[–] whitespirit26 10 years ago

Seriously. Shandi, you nailed it.

[–] deem_bastille 9 years ago

it is sick because this is considered fiction. they actually wrote fiction for the genre.

and the fact that this is considered entertainment for some people.

and just because 'this is how it is' doesn't make it any less sick. this is the reason why we have to have organizations like ACS.
