Here below the brand new movie trailer of Precious, a drama movie directed by Lee Daniels and based on the novel Push by Sapphire:
PRECIOUS
“Overweight, illiterate teenager Clareece ‘Precious’ Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) lives in Harlem with her dysfunctional family; she has been impregnated twice by her father and is in a destructive relationship with her mother (Mo’Nique). Precious is invited to an alternative school where she hopes that her life can change direction.”
Cast:
– Gabourey Sidibe as Clareece “Precious” Jones
– Mo’Nique as Mary Jones, Precious’ mother
– Mariah Carey as Mrs. Weiss, a social worker
– Paula Patton as Ms. Rain, Precious’ teacher
– Lenny Kravitz as John, a nurse
– Sherri Shepherd as Cornrows
It’s hard to feel empathy at first for the fatty Precious, but her determination to improve her life, knowing the hell she’s been living in, can but win my respect. I haven’t read the book, so I’ll go watch Precious with an open mind. I just hope that there is some happy end for her because life hasn’t been very kind to her…
