In response to Tera’s post - THANK YOU!
You completely echoed my thoughts.
Why on earth did they put that poor child with down syndrome in the movie when she was going to be in a verbally abusive scene? How is she to understand that it is “make believe”? What were they thinking?! Poor judgement. Poor poor judgement on the part of the film makers and the parents of that little girl.

I am so angry to know that Gabby Sidibe is nominated for a BEST ACTRESS Academy Award! I mean - what?! Why?! It’s CRAZY! The only thing she did was “look the part”. She is black, obese, and can pass for a teen. That’s IT! She looked the part and can regurgitate lines and that is enough to be nominated in the same category as Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep? I think NOT! WHat a f-ing joke.

As for Monique - I don’t know her personally but from what I have seen in interviews - she is annoying as hell, I can not stand her - so ya, she did well in the part because she got to be pissed off a lot and that is her specialty.

Overall - a huge disappointment.Thanks a lot Oprah.

Hi there Hanike

The quote about Oprah is spot on I think…

Thanks for the warning - and thanks for mentioning “The Dead Poets Society”, which is on my top-5 list of awful movies.

You forgot another thing: Juno!
It’s Juno with a black family, in an opposite bad way.
They sux the same.
And what do both say to american people? Because they ARE movies to “throw reality” in north american people’s face.. They say to them: “reality sux.. our people sux.. but that’s normal.. that’s ok.. just pretend you care but then ignore it ‘coz in real, that will never happens to your family… maybe to your poor neighbor… but not you… but we need to pretend we care and do movies like that, so everyone else won’t think we are so bad and will envy us to say ‘the truth’ about us without shame.”!

I heard someone saying a really interesting thing about this movie: “Precious is Oprah’s try to show she doesn’t care about all the hundreds dollar bags and foots and notebooks that she sells under her name… and saying she really knows from where she is.”.
So he said: “Don’t fuck! We very know from where you are and where you don’t wanna be again neither if your millionaire life depends of it. You can be a good person, but throw that in our face, in a minimum level, is a big hypocrisy!”

I am with him.
