Precious was, in short, pitiful. Frankly, I can’t understand what all the hoopla is about — what is so great about this movie? It’s about an obese, inner-city teen who’s been knocked up by her mother’s boyfriend, is pregnant, is abused by her mother, and who is on welfare. Oh, the adversity of being black in America. [Where’s the roll eye emoticon when you need it?!] Other than being painfully predictable, I found the main character of the same name to be not only stereotypical, but also one-dimensional and superficial.
The scene where she woddles into the soul food joint only to run out with a bucket of fried chicken left me laughing and shaking my head in disappointment at the same time.
The bottom line here is that, there is simply nothing remarkable about this movie. It’s like people are enjoying and finding entertainment in black female strife and black female suffering. Why are movies which portray blacks in stereotypical fashion celebrated and praised, while ones portraying blacks more favorably are not?
Lastly, I always questioned why you hear black women often refer to themselves as “strong”. I never particularly associated being strong with being sexy, and I don’t think most other men do either.
But then, I started thinking of the many ways in which black women NEEDED to be strong — they need to be strong because disproportionately, they are the heads of household single mothers. They needed to be strong because very few adhere to the Eurocentrism of the American beauty standard. They needed to be strong because being black was tough (and still is), but because being black AND female is even tougher.
