PRECIOUS - The Official Thread

[masoud90]

Just saw PRECIOUS.
Probably one of the most emotionally charged films I have seen in years. It is so thought provoking, breathtaking, imaginative, passionate, sympathetic...every word that would explain getting the audience involved with the characters.

The acting was incredible. Monique did an incredible job. The same goes for Mariah Carey who was beyond good in this role.

The writing was fresh, realistic, and never came off as melodramatic.

The direction was great. The occasional close-ups on the characters made you feel their emotions. Some great shots (props to cinematographer).

The music fit it well, especially the gospel song was so dramatically fit for the film that it had me going wild!

This is a very touchy and controversial film. Go in it with an open mind and an open heart and experience what this movie is because no words can explain how it is. As the Oscar season is approaching, other films have a lot of competition against them.

Thoughts please and if you are giving spoilers, please use spoiler tags.

Lee Daniels Fired ‘Disrespectful’ White ‘Precious’ Crew, Original DP Couldn’t Light Black Skin

“I had a white line producer, a white AD, they also read [reviews that said my last film] ‘Shadowboxer’ was the worst film ever made, and they had zero respect for me, my vision, or what it was,” Daniels said. “They were New Yorkers that looked at this as a job. I kept coming home like, this doesn’t feel right, she doesn’t look right, the set looks weird. I felt like I was giving birth to an alien, literally, so I did something that I now don’t even know whether I’d have the courage to do, but I fired everybody. I shut it down.”

“Then, we got back with a new DP, Andrew Dunn,” Daniels said. “I’d seen ‘The Madness of King George,’ and I loved the way he shot it. I loved ‘The Bodyguard’ with Whitney Houston, he’d done that, and I asked him, ‘I need your help because my DP is disrespectful.’ They were all white guys, just rude, disrespectful, really rude to what I wanted to do, not knowing I was going to shut it all down.”
