    Did anyone else laugh out loud when he said he had gone to McDonalds looking for Precious? I'm terrible.

    She's a talented actress who happens to have meat on her bones and a brain in her head, a minority who's wowing Hollywood, one of the most shallow places in the world. Well done Girl! ;)

    Precious was an aMAZING movie. Every single time I watch the part when she says nobody loves her I have to sob.

    I wonder if Oprah will ever make a movie about black characters that doesn't centre around trauma and hardship?

    • @uwotm8634
      @uwotm8634 7 лет назад +3

      freudulant no because to her only black people go through this stuff

    • @freudulant
      @freudulant 7 лет назад

      U WOT M8 well I'm not sure if she truly believes that but she does seem to find importance in putting the tales of hardship out there. I think it is equally important to create characters and stories that represent success and happiness and dignity in the same population. This goes a long way to promoting pride and provides good role models to children. I suppose it doesn't have to be Oprah's job to do this though.

    nice interview - amazing film - gabby you go! You did such a tremendous job in the film - can't wait to see you on The C Word. I met your mom too - she's special. You have done so much for so many by showing that someone who is determined can achieve. Looks are nice - but it's what's inside that counts.

    She was so great in this movie, brilliant acting.
    I think she is right, helping people by and far in this movie as much as a psychologist.
    She is seems so much different to the character she played in the film.
    I think she is beautiful and pretty.

    This isn't a movie to promote the way a black person can make it through anything.
    This is a movie that shows the true side to African American poverty, and that is why it is such a powerful and emotional film.

    @Indio156 15 лет назад

    I think she is beautiful! And yes, I read the book PUSH, and though I am nothing like her on paper, I identified with Precious! And I KNEW Precious in person, when I helped a homeless black woman to rehome her pets -- It took me a year, because I refused to betray her by stealing them. I saved her pets, but on HER terms. I could write a book about our relationship. But I won't.

    @rleary1 14 лет назад

    Her unusual 'Path' was the 'Dessert Line in Luby's Cafeteria'... The other path she followed was that ancient Zen Method called, 'The Way of The Fork' It's where you blame a 'fork utensil' for all of your sadness. There's another called the 'Way of the Spoon' but she definitely looks like she was able to 'poke' her food quickly and get it into her mouth. I read something about her having a 'Glandular' problem also which is sad. Seems like her 'Saliva Gland' is way too busy for her size...

Absolutely mind boggling!!

    As for the weight issue, a lot of people have problems like Hypothyroidism or other health issues that make them gain weight no matter what they do. So don't be so judgmental. And what if she would have been skinny - would she have gotten the part? Well there you go.

  • @zuzuzmith
    @zuzuzmith 14 лет назад

    @1timothy215 To be fair, there's been a trend of directors hiring amateurs whenever they want someone obese, or strapping a fat suit on someone famous... And the director of Precious talks about that too, how he was looking for the lead "at MacDonald's"... As it were, he really lucked out with Gabourey auditioning, even though she was in fact an amateur (psychology major). Let's hope that inspires directors in the future to search for real acting talent.

    Have you seen Jenifer Hudson lately? She won the Oscar as well and was very heavy young actress. So look on you tube, how wonderful she looks now, but
    Gabourey Sidibe does not have to loose weight in order to get role in movies, She already does !!!
