Every time I see such a story, or history, or is happening, I can't help but ask, where does human's tolerance for suffering come from?

Precious's almost animal patience is definitely not obtained from reading books or listening to the stories of noble people - the only inspirational famous quote in the whole film is when Precious is daydreaming and seeing Uncle Martin in the photo The phrase "I have a dream" said in.

Precious's strength may be a godsend, or it may come from a destiny that has never shined on her.

In addition, I kept seeing that social worker very strange, I couldn't tell what was strange, until the end of the film, I found out that it was Mariah Carey. .
