I disagree. Sandra did an amazing job! She played a real woman, and if you watch interviews that feature the real Leigh Anne Tuohy you can tell Sandra absolutely nailed the mannerisms. Sandra also an extreme amount of dedication to her role. She lived at least six months with the real Touhy family. Sandra also had to dress the part, learn to speak with a southern accent, and play a character convincingly with a way different personality than she had. Gabby looked the part, dressed like it, and spoke like her character.
"Love beat me. Love raped me" Hearing that is like a dagger through the heart. My heart goes out to women like Precious. None of them deserve something so terrible
"My daddy say he gon marry me." Her disgust and her confusion at her father always gets to me. He was a real monster right along with Mary. There are so many kind and loving people in this world who are unable to have children, yet two sickos became parents with no problems. It's disgusting. This was a really hard scene for me to watch. Precious deserved way better than the life she was dealt. I honestly think I would have killed myself had I been her. I don't know what I would have done.
FreedomWriter3 you should read the book. Her plight was even worse. Her mother was sexually abusing her as well. In the book her mother was much, much larger than Monique who plays her mother in the movie. Precious describes in great detail the smell down there of when she had to "pleasure" her mother. It's a really sad situation. Smh...
*So much farce! I know damn well that you’re not deaf. You know damn well that she said “please don’t lie to me”. Please don’t act like “please don’t love me” wouldn’t literally kill this entire scene’s purpose and expose this movie for its absurdities (more than it already has). Actually, you’re right - after seeing this movie more than 100 times, I hear “please, don’t love me” too because it makes more sense than “please don’t lie to me”. Literal ABSURDITIES. After all of the NONSENSE that you go through in the movie up until that scene, she might as well just take her clothes off and start fingering her pussy while the entire class joins in for an orgy as Precious shits out and they all eat her feces after Miss “Blu Rain” pulls out her stripper heels and starts riding Precious’ face. NO. DON’T INTERRUPT ME. AFTER HOW ABSURD THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN UP UNTIL THAT POINT IN THE MOVIE, IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE IF THAT HAPPENED. And the following scene would be of Precious walking home as if nothing ever happened and no one in that classroom mentioning ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING about what just happened in there AT ALL. Actually, just to add on to the absurdities, that black lady that’s the counselor at “Each One, Teach One” should walk in while they’re in the middle of the orgy and just automatically join in without any hesitation or questioning. IT WOULD JUST MAKE PERFECT SENSE BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS SO FUCKING ABSURD BEYOND FUCKING BELIEF. Literally, does EVERYONE in this movie lack telepathy/BASIC EMPATHY/compassion and mirror neurons? Obviously. They’re all fucking DUMB!!! Every single last fucking one of them is DUMB. And the fact that they’re acting like literal uneducated rednecks that live in the middle of fucking nowhere (with their racism and homophobia and sexism and all of these other prejudices that get knocked right out of you just by spending 2 fucking seconds in NYC - LITERALLY IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO BE PREJUDICED IN NYC) yet they’re in one of the most diverse cities on the planet. Her mom fucking acts like she never grew up around white people and went to an all-black school in Harlem. Like, that bitch was like 30-something and Precious CLEARLY LOOKS LIKE GABOUREY SIDIBÉ’S 27-year-old ass wearing THE MOST ABSURD CLOTHING for a literally RETARDED 16-year-old???? SHE DRESSES LIKE A CONGRESSWOMAN IN SOME SCENES AND THEN DRESSES LIKE A FUCKING HOODLUM IN OTHER SCENES. NONE OF IT FUCKING ADDS UP. NYC wasn’t segregated back then either for her to be pulling that “YOU BROUGHT THAT WHITE BITCH TO MY HOUSE?!?!?!” card. Like, her mom knew damn well that she lived in a big ass tenement building/projects and that those literally aren’t houses… they’re APARTMENTS. I swear, this movie gets crazier the more I watch it because there’s so much excruciating detail put into the absurdities. Like this movie is so absurd that even the ATOMS within it are absurd. Like how Precious is literally fucking stupid and doesn’t know how to read or write, but also simultaneously has pearly-white teeth like she fucking went to the dentist to get them whitened. No, those are literally dentist-whitened teeth that look like fucking veneers. She has STRAIGHT TEETH too (like she got braces). Like, I don’t understand how your hygiene is impeccable, yet your examples are your unhygienic/nasty ass mother that smokes cigarettes all the damn time and has fucked up/crusty ass teeth????? IT IS SO FUCKING ABSURD AND UNREALISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE TELLING ME TO CRY OVER SOMETHING THAT’S FUCKING FAKE?!?!?! THAT’S LIKE FUCKING FORCING ME TO CRY OVER RED RIDING HOOD OR THE THREE LITTLE PIGS OR PINOCCHIO. LIKE, ALL OF THOSE STORIES ARE SO ABSURD - JUST LIKE PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!! Like, how do you name your child “Precious” and then proceed to torture her every single damn day and rape her and try and kill your incest-bred grandchildren while you magically know what rape is (because she literally calls out Precious before they get into that big fight where she tries to drop the TV on her and screams ‘didn’t no-fuckin-body rape you!!!!!’), but you have your own definition for what rape is so technically her own father (your husband/man/boyfriend/Carl/fiancé and all of these absurd names that they call him during the movie - even though you only see him like TWO times for a few seconds in the entire movie because her mom is RAPING HER instead, but for some ABSURD reason, she never discloses that her mom rapes her) is simply “having sex” with Precious because Precious is “letting him have her”. HOW IS THAT NOT ABSURD and how is Y’ALL NOT CATCHING HOW ABSURD IT IS not even MORE ABSURD??????? Like, this movie is SO FUCKING ABSURD. I can’t fucking even with it because it’s SOOOOOO fucking absurd!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING ABSURD. SO FUCKING ABSURD. JESUS CHRIST IT’S SO ABSURD. They might as well just name is “MY PUSSY STANK” and the storyline would make more sense.*
i cried.... not just cause of the movie, or the situation she's facing... but because just like her A LOT of millions are facing this right this moment, going through this hell, and no one is aware of it.... and some know whats going on but they choose to say nothing and just hold on to it as if that's how their life is supposed and meant to be. :'(
When she said "I'm tired" is what got me. The only people who I ever heard say that are those who are elderly and at the end of there life, and those who are sick and at the end of theirs. For a young person to say that means more then I could ever imagine.
My 10 yr old said this. I found out her father was hurting her and her siblings on his weekends. I just got out of jail. Served 3 years because I could not stand to see him breathing after he hurt my baby and had her contemplating suicide. It broke me. And I made the decision one night and just got up on autopilot and did what needed to be done. I don't regret it and I hope his ass is burning in hell now. Only thing I regret is not being able to be there for her those 3 years. She's about to turn 14 now and she's still dealing with depression and loving herself. He's gone but the damage remains. Cold world out here but I promise to protect my kids no matter what and if anyone else ever hurts my babies I will kill them too. No remorse.
Nobody should feel tired of life anyways. This is just a sign that something is horribly wrong. They are tired emotionally and mentally. Having trauma means that you fight EVERY SINGLE DAY just to get some BARE MINIMUM peace in your mind. You also constantly provide yourself physically as well because life waits for nobody or time. It is a curse that comes by itself without ever asking for your permission.
I know that HIV can still kill, but back then if you had it, you had an 80% or so chance of being dead in 10 or less years! This movie is making my heart feel too many emotions.
The young lady in red asking about her baby seemed really sweet. Edit: I didn't see the movie until yesterday. Everyone acted their butts off in this! Rhonda asking about her baby is subtle yet worth praise because she asked with such compassion. Great performances all around!
This is the scene where I always cry at. Because I myself was a victim to abuse. I had suffered from sexual abuse from my step dad ever since I could remember and the whole time, I remember he kept telling me how ugly and fat I was and that no one loves me. Shit, I even had a step mom who would physically hurt me and abandoned me when I was little and said the exact same thing that my step dad did, no one loves me that I am nothing and I deserve all this.... Now that I am an adult woman and I had gotten out of that abuse long ago (thank god for divorces), I realize that people do love me and I do have a purpose in this life. Heck I still take counseling and anti-depressants, I suffer from mental developmental delays due to all of this and I sometimes have nightmares but I try to live one day at a time. Normally I never talk about what had happened to me, especially when I was a kid or on the internet for the world to see because some people use that as a weapon against you. But I am grown and I have learned to forgive those people. And I wanna tell other people who have had experience what I had in the past that its not their fault, and you are not the only one.
Forgiveness should be a choice, not a demand. Its possible for one to move on without forgiving the abusers. If they wish to forgive for their own reasons, they can choose to do so. If some don't want to, we shouldn't force them. Some horrible things are unforgivable.
When it happens, you feel like you are the only one. But you are NOT! You have sisters all over the world who have shared in this sorrow in one form or another. I commend you for your Strength, for your Bravery in speaking out, for your ability to forgive, and especially your willingness to reach out to Comfort others who suffer! You're my hero. Keep sharing your story. You will end up saving a life. Bless you! ❤️
This scene gets me every single time !!! As a Childhood Sexual abuse survivor my heart goes out to women like precious as well as men . Your story is valid & you’re worthy . You matter!!! You aren’t your pain or your past.
precious is an excellent movie. it really portrays what took place in the novel push and what happened in the late 80s very well. although Mary is a horrible person, this movie is emotional. But what ticks me off is Rotten Tomatoes gives this a 91 but gives the pursuit of happyness a 69 and confessions like a 66 or something. those two movies deserve better scores too.
The real story took place in the 80s? Damn. That makes it more tragic. HIV back then is almost certainly a death sentence. I never understood when Precious says she's dying. Now I know.
@@Serenityblu23 Supposedly Precious dies and her son ends up in a foster home and grow up to became an abuser himself. I don't know about her other kid though. I looked it up and the first book is Push by Sapphire. The second is The Kid by Sapphire. Please be careful though as these books supposedly contain graphic rape scenes and topics about sexually assault.
This scene, as well as Mary's confession scene, always brings tears to my eyes. Gabrourey Sidibe is an amazing actress who will have a very successful, promising career. Precious opened doors for her.
To all the precious there , always rembers that you are equally loved and you just need to hang in there for while till u can stand up straight and walk ur chin up .
You could see when she said, "Nurse said I'm HIV Positive." Ms. Rain lost her breath a little bit. I cry every time..... This scene is so deep, hard hitting and just REAL.... Things like this are still happening 💔
Shrek The Savage Well, the social worker did ask if she wanted her children adopted bt they’re the only positive people other than Ms. Rain that she can hold onto in life. This poor girl has been through hell and back, and she wants to turn her life around bt she’s so sick and tired of life treating her like dirt. So ya, life really does suck bt it takes strong people like Precious to hold on...bcause not everyone can.
amazing scene on what is love and how precious feeling the others side of love....and for her lucky the wonderful teatcher that help her desire..----..........
I couldn't ever bring myself to watch this movie again, it was so hard the first time and I was young. I didn't even understand it fully, but now when I do I am so afraid that I would live trough it. This actress deserves every prize in the world.
This part really broke my heart, I felt her pain so much. She did an amazing job as this character, I knew at this moment she would have a very successful career.
artenman You really didn’t have to call her a dumb bitch. You could have gotten your point across without calling her that. That was really uncalled for and incredibly rude.
Imagine being a teacher, hearing stories like this every year. That was me for 20yrs.... :( Abuse wasn't prejudice.... it affected every race, every gender, every age, every sport, every activity, every grade, every school, every neighborhood, every classroom!
I remember watching this scene with my younger sister and one of my closest female friends. As soon as her voice started to crack I lost it and my friend and sister both stare at me dumbfounded as I'm reaching up to wipe my eyes. I ended up having to excuse myself and get tissue between sobs.
Paula Patton is one of the most beautiful black women in this world, Robin Thicke was an idiot to let that go. My God. His father must have been really disappointed after that
Well we don't know what happened in their decade long marriage so we can't judge. And btw, a man that choices to be with a black woman for her beauty(as you put it), is idiotic. Stop thinking with your hormones.
it’s crazy the book give a story to homegirl with the accent and her story was just like precious except it was by her brother and her mom didn’t believe her . so she left and ended up homeless .
Waching the movie for the first time and knowing what her life is at this point. When she said LOVE has done nothing for me..... Oh God I felt my chest burning I cried until I lost my breath.
its not really based on anyone but it could be, thats why the author wrote it. she wanted to give a voice to those out there like her, so people know the story and could help and not judge.
Its sad how someone can abuse you to the point where you feel like you cant be loved and that somethings wrong with you when none of it was your fault 😢😢😢
I would love to have a teacher like Ms Rain. She was not wrong at all that what Precious's mom and dad did was not love at all and that she and her kids love her and if I was someone in that situation, that would mean a whole lot to me.
This is a movie I would LOVE to watch again because the acting was THAT stellar (I don't think I've ever used to word in a sentence), but I don't think I can sit through it again, because it's THAT heavy
What a great movie. It's rough to watch the abuse and horrific things Precious suffered through but this was powerful and very well made. Amazing acting I'll never forget it.
Sadly, this is not fiction. Some people truly are born in the pit of hell. It's so unfair! And then you have those that were not judging them! EVERYONE should see movies like this!
Wow, all these emotions from a movie! The sad thing is that this shit is going on everyday. I don't have children, but if I did, they would know that I love them even with all MY faults!
Damn, besides the rape (although my therapist told me of "coveted molestation" or maybe it was "covert" 🤔 which I would say I went through) this one hit home. I remember thinking it was my fault that my parents, and my older siblings, love hurt so bad. I can't let anyone get close to me and it fucking sucks. But one day I'll be free. Just gotta do the noble thing and keep living. Keep pushing!
Just shed a couple tears.
My girl was robbed of her Oscar...
IKR she truly deserved it her acting was just amazing plus this was her very first movie.
Carl John your rude
@Carl John Do you yourself even know what the fuck you're saying?
@Carl John she's acting like a victim of an incestuous abuse that got HIV. what the fuck are you talking about? grow up!
@Carl John BITCH shut your stupid ass up learn something stop being so stupid all the time learn GODAMNIT
Ugh...I lost it at "I'm TIRED Ms. Rain." This girl deserves more movie roles. She's amazing.

“Love beat me. Raped me. Called me a animal. Make me feel worthless. Make me sick”
This line right here DESTROYED ME. 💔
"that wasn't love Precious, your baby loves you... I love you"
I swear,💔💔
Me too 🥺😢
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And yet you people believe in a living god lol
I love how the people in her class were more and more supportive of her as the movie progressed . They never judged her except for the beginning
"Love beat me. Love raped me"
Hearing that is like a dagger through the heart. My heart goes out to women like Precious. None of them deserve something so terrible

I feel bad that she actually kept the babies. The father of those kids are her own father. That's so disgusting. Makes me feel incredibly disgusted!!!
Shrek The Savage Well, the social worker did ask if she wanted her children adopted bt they’re the only positive people other than Ms. Rain that she can hold onto in life. This poor girl has been through hell and back, and she wants to turn her life around bt she’s so sick and tired of life treating her like dirt. So ya, life really does suck bt it takes strong people like Precious to hold on...bcause not everyone can.
Shrek The Savage Stfu, shrek. We all know you wanted to be Daddy.
Thing is, he died..
How can she even love them?
Almighty Sagittarius Yep, one of my best friends got raped by her cousins and she told me if she got pregnant by them, she would have kept her baby.
Her teacher is beautiful....
This scene is really hard to watch without crying.
This movie is so sad and I can relate. I am so glad this movie exists. I cry watching it.
amazing scene on what is love and how precious feeling the others side of love....and for her lucky the wonderful teatcher that help her desire..----..........
Monique won for this movie. even though Gabby deserved one too. definitely !
Ms. Rain is pretty.
She is. She's beautiful. :)
Patricia and kind
Very beautiful
Paula Patton
Robin Thicke was a fool to cheat on her.
She deserved an Oscar. She acts so good, so natural
The book was ten times worse. It broke me down. The second book about her son is downright depressing. Whew
Everytime I see this scene it always makes me cry hysterically like crazy. And the character Ms. Blu Rain is just amazing
I just love how she had a support system at her school. The girls in her class loved her dearly
I couldn't ever bring myself to watch this movie again, it was so hard the first time and I was young. I didn't even understand it fully, but now when I do I am so afraid that I would live trough it. This actress deserves every prize in the world.
Man... RUclips is cutting onions again..😭😭😥😪😥😓😭😭😭
Faith is a Regular Fan lol
This scene alone so profound
omfg...every single f-ing time she says "nobody loves me" I just can't help it, I burst into tears.
This part really broke my heart, I felt her pain so much. She did an amazing job as this character, I knew at this moment she would have a very successful career.
I went to an alternative 🏫 and got my regents diploma. I wanna get my masters degree in communications and media.
Her teacher look like alicia keys
that's what I was saying and I thought she was too.
Paula Patton is beautiful
Amber Davis she certainly is. Very beautiful.
Too bad she and Robin Thicke got divorced
He is with a model now and they have two kids now
This whole movie just hits you right in the heart.
I like this movie it shows you how life gets hard sometimes. But its very sad.
Diamond Love "sometimes"
Bitch this is worse than most people’s lives, this is how awful it can get you dumb bitch.
artenman You really didn’t have to call her a dumb bitch. You could have gotten your point across without calling her that. That was really uncalled for and incredibly rude.
The teacher's demeanor reminds me of Whitney Houston in some kinda way.
I think it’s also her hair that she had in her I Will Always Love You music video.
I really wish they would bring journal writting back like they did in first grade. It would help lot,s of people.
This scene is so touching, I even started to burst out crying. :'(
Imagine being a teacher, hearing stories like this every year. That was me for 20yrs.... :(
Abuse wasn't prejudice.... it affected every race, every gender, every age, every sport, every activity, every grade, every school, every neighborhood, every classroom!
She says "please don't lie to me" not please dont love me
this is for the people who have been through something hard and was told your worthless. STAND UP AND RISE from that. please .
I have everyday for the past 49 years
When you can convey more with your eyes and facial expressions than most with words, you are more than talented.
I swear she is such a good actress.
Bestest acting ever!!! This movie has great actingg!
Whooo the way this made me cry. She is a great actresses
This movie had me shook
kim flanagan you mean shock
I wonder how people who went to see this managed in the theaters
I remember watching this scene with my younger sister and one of my closest female friends. As soon as her voice started to crack I lost it and my friend and sister both stare at me dumbfounded as I'm reaching up to wipe my eyes. I ended up having to excuse myself and get tissue between sobs.
Paula Patton is one of the most beautiful black women in this world, Robin Thicke was an idiot to let that go. My God. His father must have been really disappointed after that
Well we don't know what happened in their decade long marriage so we can't judge. And btw, a man that choices to be with a black woman for her beauty(as you put it), is idiotic. Stop thinking with your hormones.
@@angelminaj617 do not love me 😘
This movie touched my heart in so many ways
Just saw this movie a few days ago for the first time. Then I watched it again. Took my breath away.
This part i felt all of her pain. She played that part sincerely.
I cried so much from this scene. i lost it
Ugh!! Now I’m crying! I feel her emotion
Every time I see this part I cried sooo much n still cried.Joann didn’t laugh u can tell she’s cares about precious too
it’s crazy the book give a story to homegirl with the accent and her story was just like precious except it was by her brother and her mom didn’t believe her . so she left and ended up homeless .
Waching the movie for the first time and knowing what her life is at this point. When she said
LOVE has done nothing for me.....
Oh God I felt my chest burning I cried until I lost my breath.
Everytime I view this movie or any scene from it, I cry.
Still upset she didn't get an Oscar for this!!
its not really based on anyone but it could be, thats why the author wrote it. she wanted to give a voice to those out there like her, so people know the story and could help and not judge.
yes it is. its based on a the novel push by saphire which is based on the life of a REAL girl
Its sad how someone can abuse you to the point where you feel like you cant be loved and that somethings wrong with you when none of it was your fault 😢😢😢
I would love to have a teacher like Ms Rain. She was not wrong at all that what Precious's mom and dad did was not love at all and that she and her kids love her and if I was someone in that situation, that would mean a whole lot to me.
Amazing Scene.
I can never hold back my tears at this part 😢😢
This is a movie I would LOVE to watch again because the acting was THAT stellar (I don't think I've ever used to word in a sentence), but I don't think I can sit through it again, because it's THAT heavy
What a great movie. It's rough to watch the abuse and horrific things Precious suffered through but this was powerful and very well made. Amazing acting I'll never forget it.
Ya got me wanting to watch “Precious” again.
Seeing this scene made me emotional 😭
i love this movie .
I LUV PRECIOUS BUT WHY PEOPLE KEEP SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT SANDRA BULLOCK, SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THE BLIND SIDE AS WELL
You cant compare both movies at all
what is blind side?
Because the movie was inaccurate with the bullshit ass white savior trope. No comparison to this movie whatsoever.
I lost it at “Nobody loves me”
O this part really gets to me :( . Beautiful movie
Sadly, this is not fiction. Some people truly are born in the pit of hell. It's so unfair! And then you have those that were not judging them! EVERYONE should see movies like this!
This is such a sad scene. Had me in tears.
this is such a good movie
I still got this memorized after all these years
It’s
Not funny it’s sad
I don't know a movie that has hurt my heart this deep in years
everytime i watch this part of the movie i cry its sad and u got sum pplz go throw this in real life
✨✝️✨May God, protect girls like Precious.,
A whole decade+ later and this scene never ever fails to make me cry 💔
I love her
Wow, all these emotions from a movie! The sad thing is that this shit is going on everyday. I don't have children, but if I did, they would know that I love them even with all MY faults!
This scene is so powerful. It is the first thing when I remember the film. Gabourey is a beautiful talent
this is the only movie that managed to make me cry.
OMG :'(
this scene really got to meh and i didnt even realize i was crying :'(
Damn, besides the rape (although my therapist told me of "coveted molestation" or maybe it was "covert" 🤔 which I would say I went through) this one hit home. I remember thinking it was my fault that my parents, and my older siblings, love hurt so bad. I can't let anyone get close to me and it fucking sucks. But one day I'll be free. Just gotta do the noble thing and keep living. Keep pushing!
this scene always makes me cry
