Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something I saw in a movie, “Precious.” It’s a heavy film, for sure, and there’s this question that kept bugging me: Does Precious’s mom sexually abuse her in the movie?
First off, I started by just rewatching some key scenes. I mean, the movie’s tough to watch, but I wanted to get the details straight. I noticed in one scene, around the 20-minute mark, Mo’Nique, who plays the mom, is lying in bed. It looked like she was, you know, getting off, and then she tells Precious to come “take care of mommy.” That scene really stuck with me. I felt that was so strange.
Then, I went online to see what other people were saying. I found some forums and discussions where people were talking about the movie. It seems like I wasn’t the only one who caught that vibe. Some folks pointed out that the mom, Mary, was jealous of Precious. She thought Precious was “stealing” her man by “allowing” him to abuse her. It’s all messed up, right? That’s so bad. I can’t believe this!
I also read that some viewers and critics believe that Mary also sexually abused Precious. It’s not shown directly on screen, but it’s hinted at. Like, there’s this idea that Mary’s doing it because she’s mad at Precious for taking her husband’s attention, even though it’s the dad who’s the real monster here. She just wanted to make her daughter suffer.
I found some articles and analyses about the movie too. One mentioned that Mary’s abuse might be implied because she lives with another woman, Ms. Rain. So, maybe there’s something going on there that we don’t fully see. I also don’t get it why this woman is living in her house.
What really got to me was reading about how messed up the whole family situation is. Precious is being abused by both her parents. It’s not just physical and verbal, but also sexual, from both her dad and her mom. It’s just heartbreaking to think about. Both of her parents are so bad, they are just like demons.
I even came across a list of trigger warnings for the movie, and yeah, it’s a long list. Sexual abuse from both parents, abusive language, just a whole lot of awful stuff. I can’t believe there’s a real story like this.
So, here’s what I figured out:
- The movie strongly suggests that Precious’s mom is also sexually abusing her.
- It’s not shown explicitly, but there are scenes and hints that point to it.
- The mom’s motives are twisted – she’s jealous and blames Precious for the dad’s abuse.
- The whole family dynamic is incredibly toxic and damaging.
Honestly, after all this, I’m just left feeling really sad and disturbed. This movie brings up some really tough issues, and it’s clear that Precious is going through hell with both her parents abusing her. It’s a lot to take in, but I think it’s important to talk about these things, even if they’re hard to watch.
