People might not "enjoy", but would "appreciate this experience".
Действительно - фильм очень тяжелый. Но впечатляющий.
История очень сильная. Даже трудно говорить о таком.
Но этот дух мечтателя, которым обладала главная героиня достоин восхищения.
На её месте я правда бы одумалась и ушла бы гораздо раньше.
Очень хорошие актеры. Все.
Но вот эта женщина, Mo'Nique, получившая Оскара за лучшую роль второго плана ... она конечно молодец.
Действительно сильная роль, и учитывая, что она сама была жертвой сексуальных домагательств со стороны брата,
её эмоции в отдельных сценах наверное как-то отразились в её душе теми ужасными воспоминаниями.
Но её персонаж - это просто такая ... даже не сука. Просто тварь.
Я даже не знаю будь ли я актрисой, взялась бы я за такую роль.
Конечно чалендж чаленджом, но мне если честно, наверное было бы просто противно такую мерзость играть.
Хотя в этом и есть суть актерства- играть абсолютно разных людей.
Writer Geoffrey Fletcher became the first African-American to win an Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Mo'Nique accepted her role to raise awareness of sexual abuse.
A confessed victim of incest herself, the actress had great reservations about playing the part, but ultimately found the experience therapeutic.
Helen Mirren was originally cast as Mrs. Weiss, but dropped out.
Mariah Carey was chosen as a replacement by director Lee Daniels only two days before the film went into production.
Daniels has stated that he chose Carey based on her performance in Tennessee, which he produced.
Shot in only five weeks.
Over 400 girls were interviewed from across the country for the part of Precious. Gabourey Sidibe was cast a mere six weeks before the start of shooting after being forced to the audition by friends.
Gabourey Sidibe read the novel Push years before when her mother, singer Alice Tan Ridley, was approached to play the role of Mary in an earlier production that never came to fruition.
Before filming the scene in which Precious slaps Consuela for saying "F for Fat",
Lee Daniels told Gabourey Sidibe to slap Angelic Zambrana as hard as she could while purposely not telling the other girls beforehand.
In the film, the reactions from the girls in that scene after she does so is actually unrehearsed.
Oprah Winfrey said that when she saw the movie, it "split [her] open", and that she immediately called Tyler Perry who gave her Lee Daniels' number,
so that she could call him and tell him she would do anything to promote the film.
When she called him, he was onstage getting an award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Oprah later stated that this film was why "we make movies", and that she thought people might not "enjoy", but would "appreciate this experience".
In one of her meetings with her social worker, played by Mariah Carey, Precious asks "What color are you anyway, you some type of Black or Spanish?"
Carey, who is of mixed ancestry (Irish, Black, Venezuelan), is often the subject of "what is she" speculation and discussion.
Gabourey Sidibe worked with Lenny Kravitz in this movie, then with his daughter Zoë Kravitz in her next film, Yelling to the Sky.
A friend at college told Gabourey Sidibe about the open-call audition for the role of Precious.
On the morning of the audition, her normal route to school was blocked by a film crew working on Гангстер, so she went to the audition instead.
In the final confrontation scene, Mariah Carey was not directed to cry; rather, she was supposed to react with stone faced horror, just as Ms. Weiss does in the novel.
However, Carey was so overpowered by the performances of Mo'Nique and Gabourey Sidibe, she broke down in tears and ducked her head away from the camera as not to ruin the scene.
Director Lee Daniels loved Carey's natural reaction and kept the shot of her wiping her tears in the final cut.
