no path is bright

Despair Despair Despair

Like the authenticity of the ending

Didn't let PRECIOUS go back to her old home

, didn't let PRECIOUS get redemption

, just gave her a hope for a new life,

although one hand held her son and one hand held her silly daughter

and she was just a 16 A fat girl who can't read and read

at least she can live through her own efforts

without living under the shadow of the family every day

For those who live at the bottom of the society,

despite the care of people like social workers

and one-on-one teachers After the help of a woman,

the hardship of raising two children is still objective, and there is

still no bright path . What if

I can finally take control of my own life?

It seems to be more important than what I have. I like it

very much . PRECIOUS's narration when he was teasing his son

said that the halfway house is the connection between the old life and the new life, which

is very touching

and weak. Compared with the weak point, this film is more profound and some

cruel mothers acted really well

Precious quotes

  • Clareece 'Precious' Jones: You don't even like me.

    Mrs. Weiss: Have we not been in this room together for like, a year discussing your life?

    Clareece 'Precious' Jones: Does that mean we like each other because we discussing my life?

    Mrs. Weiss: [Smiling] Well, I can't speak for you. I can only speak for me, and I like you. I do.

  • Mary: We would, we would, uh, start doin' it, and he reached over... and he touched my baby. And I asked him, and I said "Carl, what are you doing"? And he told me to shut, to shut my fat ass up, and it was good for her.

    Mrs. Weiss: And what did you do then?

    Mary: I shut my fat ass up. And I don't want you to sit there and judge me, Miss Weiss.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Angrily] You shut up and you let him abuse your daughter.

    Mary: I didi not want him to abuse my daughter. I did not want him to hurt her.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Overlapping with Mary's voice] But you ALLOWED him to hurt her!

    Mary: I did not want him to do nothin' to her. I wanted him to make love to me. That was my man. That was my fuckin' man. That was my man, and he wanted my daughter. And that's why I hated her. Because my man who was supposed to be loving me, who was supposed to be making love to me was fucking my baby. And she made him leave. She made him go away.

    Mrs. Weiss: So whose fault was that?

    Mary: It's this bitch's fault, because she let my man have her. And she didn't say nothin', she didn't scream, she didn't do nothin'. So, those things that she told you I did to her? Who... who... who else was going to love me? Hmmm? Since you got your degree, and you know every fuckin' thing, who was gonna love me? Who... who... was gonna make me feel good? Who was gonna touch me, and make me feel good late at night? And she made him go away. So... when you sit there, and you writin' them fuckin' notes on your pad about who you think I am, and why I did it and all of that... because I didn't have a man.
