Oprah and Tyler Perry Present New Movie Based on Push a Novel by Sapphire
I just posted this on The Black Moms Club video page, but I wanted you to check this out too!
Ever since I saw a clip of this movie from the Sundance Film Festival on youtube, I've been waiting to see it come out. I think the movie is call Precious and it is based on the book novel Push by Sapphire, click here to checkout the book. Not since Color Purple have we seen this kind of movie to reflect what Black Girls and women go through in their lives. I really hope this will speak to the young girls, women and MEN in the Black Community. I hope we all go out and see it and support these amazing Black Film Makers.Noted Stars in this movie include Mo'nique and Mariah Carey.
More About the Book: Push by Sapphire
Claireece Precious Jones endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, angry, illiterate, fat, unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect. That is the device deployed in the first novel by poet and singer Sapphire. "Sometimes I wish I was not alive," Precious says. "But I don't know how to die. Ain' no plug to pull out. 'N no matter how bad I feel my heart don't stop beating and my eyes open in the morning." An intense story of adversity and the mechanisms to cope with it.

Wow! This is a powerful clip. I cannot wait to see this on the big screen. Either Tyler Perry or Oprah Winfrey would have been enough to motivate me to see this film. However, with them both collaborating it is 100% certain that I will be there on 'opening weekend.'
peace & blessings

I read this book years ago. It was absolutely heart-wrenching. I heard a while back that this book was going to be turned into a movie. Last year, I rushed to the theater to see a movie titled Push only to be disappointed in realizing it wasn't the same movie. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this rendition.
