Midwestern Belle

On May 13, I was watching Oprah -- with three comedians, including Mo'Nique. Mo'Nique mentions she will be starring in a film called Precious, showing in November. Originally, Precious was originally known as Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire, however, the name was change to avoid confusion with the action film Push. Anyhow, Precious is about a teenaged girl named Precious Jones, living in Harlem. Precious has a rough life -- raped by her father and emotionally abused by her mother. By the time she turns 17, she has two children. With Precious being illiterate, obese, and unloved, she feels like she's nothing. However, a GED teacher reaches out to her to prove her otherwise. Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey also stars in this movie. I will say Mariah Carey's performance is fairly well; initially, I didn't recognize her. This film through seeing the trailer is heartbreaking, yet...good. I recommend others to watch Precious, as should I.
