Monique played the sh*t outta this
Yea she did.
RealTakerslady hell yeah she did. That Baltimore came out great role.
since you got your degree and you kno Every fucking thing
She did. Such an unsympathetic character. So many actresses would have turned down the role. She was great.
LOL
How to win an Oscar in 9 minutes.
lol exactly!!!
More like 10 minutes

It's hard to imagine anything more evil than blaming a three-year-old for their own abuse.
Well I thought that too, but when my mother did the same to me (I was two)......
It was not hard to imagine, it hard to believe it happen
@@elpunpun8487 I'm sorry hun❤
@@elpunpun8487 You deserve better omg
@@TREm1990 thank you
People replying in comments are blaming the child for not calling the police......proves that this is a real life issue
The brilliance of this scene is that she can’t remember when her child was born but she remembers every small detail of the trauma she endured. That glimpse into her experience of the world is heartbreaking.
My heart broke for her, but where she made her mistake was blaming “Precious” for the actions of that sick man.
She tried to argue that “Precious” didn’t scream or yell, but my response would’ve been,
“You just told me that he was touching her as a baby, while y’all were having sex!!! You didn’t get up and punch his ass then?????”
And then asked her if she remembers her own birth.
If this hurts your heart then don’t read the book…I’ve read this and the sequel with her son and *_-whistle-_* you’re in for the most eye-opening, disgusting, realistic shit ever.
@@brentduanefoster Precious's mother blames instead of taking responsibility because she's a narcissist. Narcissism is pathological, there is no cure for those demons. If I were given the chance to reform our education-system, I would make children recite the Narcissist's Prayer instead of the Pledge of Allegiance. Help potential victims recognize when they're being gaslighted, while educating more fortunate children to grow into adults who can recognize a narcissist demon. I believe it could save millions of children who are forced to believe they're not abused, or think the abuse is their fault...
The Narcissist's Prayer:
"That didn't happen,
And if it did happen, it wasn't that bad,
And if was bad, that's not a big deal,
And if it is a big deal, that's not my fault,
And if it was my fault, I didn't mean it,
And if I did mean it, then it's because you deserved it!"
No Precious, you're not stupid, you just got dealt the wrong cards, raised by a demon and forced to love it because you didn't know better.
@@super266 All of this is 100% on point.
What a disgusting character and the scary thing is that people like this exist. Usually they're such "nice" people in public, but behind closed doors...
+cinnamonstar808 "Mama" should not be in front of her name. Another "mother" I can't stand is Jackie Siegel. Narcissist extraordinaire.
Indeed, they have to fake emotions because they have no real emotions. They hide their evil selves from the general public but it's their unfortunate victims who see them for what they truly are. And sadly others often don't believe the victim because the offender is so "wonderful" and "popular" and "would never hurt a fly."
CallmeAffiliated hopefully there is a way you can get her some help or help her find help
asherdash12 The sad truth is that some of these people don't want help because they're perfectly happy being the abusive monsters they are. They're beyond help.
Lost&Found
the hand sanitizer part symbolizes her trying to wash away the guilt.
Most obvious symbol ever, seriously. Doesn't need to be explained.
folkosire I didn't know that till just now
thanks for pointing that out.
becca elena Good of way of looking at it . I just thought it was her being nervous.
Don't be mean
The fact the she didn’t realize that Carl was the problem is insane. I know this a fictional character, but it’s too many women that blame the child for molestation. Throughout this entire monologue she never blamed Carl for having an attraction to a 3 year old.
...Sometimes people like that will do all of this over one person....
Carl has more back story in the sequel book called the kid
@@ayochayce8185 yup, they will choose a man/woman over their own kids because they are that desperate and lonely.
@@redpilledhispanic1239 multiple reasons and this case I agree
@ LuxeMindsetVibes
As horrible as the mom is, she’s clearly messed up in the head. Carl was probably abusive towards her as well. She’s also overweight and out of shape just like Precious. She must have very low self esteem and self worth to be jealous of Precious over him.
Monique plays this sick, hurt, narcissistic, abusive, pathological character absolutely perfectly. It’s kinda scary how perfect she is in this role.
Yes she played her role good but i would never watch this movie again it's to traumatizing
There’s plenty of parents like this in the world. She may have seen situations like this growing up and pulled from those experiences.
I think she was being herself 😂
@@MusaBrasi monique was actually sexually abused by her brother so she said being in this film in general brought up a lot of feelings but in a way it felt liberating
and what's even more heartbreaking is the fact that she was abused as a child to so I just can't imagine her playing the role of an abuser when she herself was abused
If i was that social worker, i would sign up for social therapy after hearing all of that.
N Sadly that is the truth. Many psychotherapist have their own independent therapists to help them cope with all that they have to hear from their clients.
Roger yup
Are you being serious?
itsjemmabond Yes. Yes it is.
That's the quickest reply I've ever had. I plan to be a social worker myself, so I gathering facts via research. Thanks!
Edit: I'm now a trainee teacher, but we still encounter abuse of pupils.
My mom always told me to NEVER put your man before your kids .
It's something obvious
Lucky Strike not to most women
With all due respect, that’s not something you need to be told. Children come first always before a man or anyone

It would've been kind of hilarious if Precious immediately responded with "I'm a sagittarius"

Them Scorpios, you gotta watch em
I strongly dislike those astrological whack jobs.
I laughed hard then emote after 😂
Mariah Carey was on another level. She really impressed me in this long scene. You can tell she brought it out and met the energy to the other characters.
When I first saw it I had to rewatch it. I didn't recognize her when I first saw it. Because she doesn't look like Mariah Carey. She looks like.... A lady who works for social services
She was so good in this role because she witnessed and experienced abuse in her own childhood ❤️🩹
In real life, Monique was abused by her own brother 😢
Mariah was perfect for this role!
I thought this comment was a joke until I searched it up holy shit she looks different.
I researched for a good 5 minutes because I was in disbelief 😭

Didn't know her birthday poor precious never a birthday party never had friends. That so called white bitch principle saved her life and gave her a new one.
Rhys Middleton point is the bitch didn’t even know her child’s birthday and I’m not calling Monique a bitch I’m talking about the character she was playing
at first she didn't want to play this part because of how disgusting the character was but her husband convinced her its not about doing whats popular its about doing whats right and whats right is telling the story , she deffiently deserved the award
Wow you're amazing because you're right
she played the best in this movie
She did this role as a favor to Lee Daniels! Wtf are y'all talking about?!
@@jessicadavis5932 her oscar speech! watch and learn
@@theoshakes8287 Well, I seen an interview where SHE said she did the role as a favor and it wasn't about money!
Precious last words of “You’ll never see me again”, followed by her daughters “BYE!” is such a great exit.
I don’t see Mariah I see a social worker
I know right. She was so powerful in this movie
Wait, that's Mariah Carey? I didn't even recognize her?
@@scorpioninpink yes Mariah with wig, baggy eyes and make up
NOBODY COULD!!!! Which explains why she was so good. Nobody saw this role coming.
I can
She loved her man more than her child
Chasette Tyson it happens.
Mer Kitten it does happen unfortunately. I personally saw this last year at my job. Her fiancee was abusing her girls. What did she do after he got arrested? She bailed him out of jail. I lost a little faith in humanity that day.
clexis14 thats horrible :(
Mer Kitten it was terrible. I needed a large amount of ice cream after that day. At least mom lost custody of the kids soon after that.
clexis14 where are the nukes...fr I hate shit like that. It’s nauseating and it MAKES ME FUCKING MAD!
Mariah was so raw and good in this. I didn’t even recognize her at first.
Me neither until I read this.
Everyone was magnificent in this film. It is a modern classic, to me.
I didn't either.
Me too. I didn't realise until the credits that it was Mariah Carey!
Mariah was amazing in this , very easy to forget that it's mariah carey playing this role
"Who else was gonna love me?"
In that line right there, Mary gives us the broken piece of her. The lack of love she received as a child that caused her to become as cold and callous as she is today.
Mmmm very good analyzation
Cycles rinse and repeat
Maybe something happened with Mary's father.
...and how often do we see broken people in her situation in real life? All too often. It’s really unfortunate.
Yess when she said that all I saw was a broken woman and the broken little girl coming out at that moment that’s why she’s so mean because she never was shown love and taught how to love.
1:51 "Summer time. She was born in the summertime. Remember that??"
This lady really asked if Precious remembered her own birth 😂
Heyy Primm i love you bro you an allstar

I agree too.😁

Yeah, I just watch Requiem for a dream and Marlon Wayans was excellent!
amphetamean-queen I didn't even know that was Mariah because of the wig omg
Boo
Never realized how deep Mariah's voice was until hearing her in this film.
She's always had like a deep raspy voice but her tone has also changed alot throughout the years. You wouldn't think she can sing the way she does with how her speaking voice sounds like
@@codywalsh2075Her New York accent had me dying of laughter 😂😂😂
She dressed down with no make up. That got her the Oscar 😂😂
I didn’t realize until recently that her mother was sexually abusing her too. There’s a scene earlier in the movie where she’s under the blankets doing things alone, and then tells precious to “come take care of mommy”, so her saying “who was gonna love me, who was gonna touch me and make me feel good” was about who else was going to do it besides precious. Her man left, so all she had was her daughter so she abused her as well. "So when she tells you about those things I did to her" I always thought they were physical abuse because she was mad no one loved her and was taking it out on her daughter, which I think was still part of it, but specifying who was going to touch her, after talking about the thing she did to precious... I didn’t realize that until recently and it makes the story even sadder knowing she was being abused sexually by her father, and being abused sexually and physically by her mother.
*Precious mentioned liking it in the book so she’s just as guilty.*

Ok fine, here's a cookie. Now be off with you, Troller.
She has makeup on - they made her look rough on purpose so it doesn't distract from the scenes.
ramdelossantos whod she play?
I love when Mariah's character starts to tear up from a combination of sympathy and disgust. Such a powerful scene.
Actually that was Mariah tearing up, the script called for her to be stone faced but she was so moved by mo'niques performance that she started tearing up, that's why you see her turn from the camera.
Monique’s got her feeling emotions.
Messylin 🤦🏽♂️
@@DeepScreenAnalysis you know what
I knew it was Mariah Carey
The glare she gives Precious at 6:40 is terrifying. It conveys such resentment and anger. Phenomenal acting.
I thought the same thing !!!
Idk why but at this timestamp, Mo'nique is really giving Ursula from the little mermaid LMAOOO
This looks like a real situation you would witness in a social worker's office. It feels nauseating, like we're intruding on something vile. So sad to think that there are children going through situations like these. The three ladies gave amazing performances, so realistic that looks like a documentary.
As a clinical social worker. I can confirm this.
Mary isn't upset because she will never see her daughter Precious again. She's upset because she will no longer have a punching bag around.
Nicolletta13 and w/o Precious living with her as her dependent child, she was going to be cut off from the government and possibly end up on the street
HEAT1996 Narcissim and abuse isn’t confined to black communities. America has a narcissist running the world and he isn’t black
I don't think that's true. This woman is broken and was broken before she ever had precious. She likely came from a home where she was abused and wasn't loved and so she didn't know how to love. She literally just didn't know how to love and couldn't receive it. She didn't want precious to leave because she didn't have anyone. She didn't want to be alone.
Carl Briggs And now because of all that abuse she put Precious through, now she has nobody.
HEAT1996 what about the black men having sex with children?
This movie was depressing af
Sue 'em YES
Indeed
Sue 'em If you think this movie is depressing, you don't even want to know what happens during the novel sequel.
Sue 'em the book is worst
Sue 'em it is a true story
The fact that Monique performed this Oscar deserving scene and only got paid $50,000 is a crying shame.
She never loved Precious. She just didn’t want to be alone
This looks so real it's almost embarassing to watch, like you're intruding into someone else's life. So good.
right? so good
Steff R. I agree. Good observation.
Steff R. Well now you made me feel bad. 😂😂😂
Yes. And i love the way the camera purposely loses focus then goes back in then zooms out again.
Really makes you feel like you're there
Mariah Carey here is amazing. When she wipes away her tears.
That wasn't scripted either - she was so moved by Mo'Nique's performance that it genuinely brought her to tears, and she had to turn her head so not to spoil the take.
tipofmytongue1024 Mi Mi
tipofmytongue1024 she was great. That tear is so.organic
sattfield Agree
That Mariah Carey compared to THIS Mariah Carey. My god, what a let down.
the social worker turning her head to wipe her tears got to me. she felt like part of an audience going through all the stages of grief and anger
She is so abusive that she dont even know her birthday that's just sad
nah, thats like the least awful thing compared to other stuff in the film
Monique and Mariah slayed TF outta this scene!
Phoenix_Rising1027 Monique carried that scene
K. Emissah and bodied it too!
Phoenix_Rising1027 Agree.....lol!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This scene alone was Oscar worthy, but where is Mo'nique now?
She's gonna be in that new Christmas movie. Almost Christmas I think is the name! I can't wait.
itsjemmabond she did win an oscar for this role! ♥️
s a p p h i r e
Don't worry, I already knew. What I meant was if she had done this scene alone, she still would have won. Judi Dench won one despite only appearing in her movie for eight minutes.
Lee Daniels blackballed her in Hollywood because she wouldn't campaign for her Oscar
So I Said what happened was, she worked hard on the movie, and since ending production wanted to spend time with her family. The studio wanted her to go on promotional tour at Cannes, I think, and she refused unless they put her and her family somewhere nice or paid her because this was her personal time she would be sacrificing. So, support from Lee and the studio was taken from her and she was blackballed for being difficult. They felt she should have been grateful and sacrificed her family time for their movie at a financial loss because she would have to pay to have her family with her, and she had already been away from them so long.
Everything in this scene was so powerful!!! The look of disbelief on Mariah's face, the way Gabby is sitting there speaking with her face saying "Yep. This is the shit I go through." And the INCREDIBLE skills of Mo'Nique being able to bawl tears while being a monster at the same time. Not everyone can do this. THESE are ACTRESSES.
I think she was honest when she said “There was a time when Precious had everything.” Unfortunately this time period was short-lived. You can see photos of Mo’Nique and baby Precious happy and Mo’Nique all dressed up looking pretty. But then it was followed by photos of Precious in toddler age or so, and Mo’Nique had gotten distracted, upset, and looked very disorganized. Very small detail in the movie. But it showed how her love for Precious transformed over time in the movie. I think she would have been a great mom but she was controlled and manipulated by Carl before she even had Precious, so instead of protecting Precious from him, she got envious and insecure with her own child. Her idea of happy family with Precious was tattered when Carl started touching her. I think her break down at the end was real, but it was too far gone with Precious and her. She realized it a little too late.
Just tragic all around sadly.
love how you broke this down.
Remember the scene where Mary tells Precious "You ruined my f***ing life" after they cut them off from welfare? She was obviously wrong. Carl ruined Mary's life by turning her into a monster.
No what u just said is all wrong. She literally admitted that she hated her daughter because her pedophile boyfriend was raping her baby instead of making love to her. You honestly have to be twisted as fuck to do that. She was a horrible filthy creature from the start, and that’s all she’ll every be.. until the day she dies.
And the boyfriend met Mary when she was underage too. I always saw Mary as someone who could’ve been a good person and overcome her trauma but she slipped through the cracks.
She forgot her damn birthday... 😂😂😂 its not funny but she was acting like she really knew when her bday was.
MadMuziQ Moss 😂😂😂😂😂
MadMuziQ Moss "the summertime...yea, u was born in the summertime." she was all sure and shit til precious shut her ass down! "...I was born in NOVEMBER!"😂😫
MadMuziQ Moss ctfu 😂😂 im done with this whole seen!
and then she asked precious as if she would remember
same way "you" act when you think you know the answers on a test LMAO
she didn't even know her own daughter birthday lol
Phynise Boone It was the summer time, right? November...
+Alisa ha.
That's nothing - there are parents that don't know the colour of their own children's eyes...I'm not joking.
Tori R it's ironic how she wants to reunite but couldn't even remember her birthday. That's what's funny.
Lol my mom always forgets until after it's my bday
I forget sometimes too but dnt blame them we got like 4 kids, always mixing our name up x3
This has to be one of the top most-deserved Oscar wins of all time.
The sad thing is, Monique's character is several women. This is REAL life. SUPERB ACTING.
Mo'nique played the FUCK outta this scene!
Carter J Rightttttt!!!!! It's just crazy man!!!!!!
And only got 50k for the entire fucking thing smh
The petty way that little girl yells “BYYYYYEEEEE” at the end has me 💀💀.
SexiStraw22 ctfu
That had me weak
Notice she said her real name, "Mo'Nique" before she said "Bye?" Kids always tell too much truth.
Same 😂😂😂😂
That was Mongo!
She didn’t care about Precious. All she cared about is a man that’s gonna make her “feel good “.
She did care. Its hard to see....but Monique character was mentally ill. Her mother might not have been physically abusive but she neglected her all her life.
Which is why she did anything to make someone stay.
Her character is gross
But the real evil of this movie is generational abuse
@@transgoddess31she wasn't abusive? Have you even seen the movie? She mentally, physically and sexually abused Precious
@@adrianpheiffer9960 I think she was referring to the mother of Mo'Nique's character.
She came from a time where women especially black women were raised to believe if they didn't have a man they didn't have anything. So Carl was not only a source of pleasure and security but also a status symbol.
One of the best performances ever. The fact she went off script makes it even more impressive. Praise for Monique.
Monique was only paid $50,000 for this movie. This scene is one of the most powerful scenes I have ever watched. Monique deserved more compensation-- especially when you consider how triggering this might have been for her, who was also sexually abused as a child. You have to be willing to go to a very dark place to be able to give this kind of performance.
this scene is sooo amazing, honestly best acting i have ever seen, ...
That’s not how economics work
This movie came at much bigger prize for Monique unfortunately. She got blacklisted 😓
Ari Cosmos isnt this an indie film? indie films have low ass budget
Yep, the whole scene was electric....$50,000 and the likes of emma watson and kiera knightly, who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag are on millions.....wrong!!
What's even more disturbing is that evil people like this woman(Precious' Abusive mother) actually exists. I've watched this movie when I was 11 and I knew how dark this movie was.
How old are you know
Adam Hassen now*
Don't tell and btw why is this relevant this person's age?
Jon all the more disturbing when some people choose, repeatedly, to name the selfish choice. People filled with fear and presumption. All you have to do is look at The people currently in power in this country to see self worship and greed and hate.
Precious mom wasn't evil though. In real life no on is evil. Everyone is a victim. She herself was probably treated similar to precious. Statistically precious will be like her mother, in many ways. When you are raised a certain way, by people you trust, even after becoming an adult, you can realize how fucked up you are, but it doesn't just go away. People blame the devil, but I think humans are far worse.
I was a social worker. Every single element of this scene is hauntingly real.
This scene never fails to make me cry and feel punched in the gut… “ because she was precious” 😢
"He told me to shut my fat ass up!
Mariah: and what did you do then?
" I shut my fat ass up" 😭💀💀💀

3:58 Precious face like, "Bitch what does breast milk have to do with me being abused for years?"
FreedomWriter3 this isnt funny. But this comment had me rolling Lmaoo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I find it darkly hilarious but sad as well. A lot of abusive narcissists will go rambling off about the most irrelevant and random things in this kind of situation... that's just what they do when they are cornered or called out.
It's ignorance mixed with evil and a little touch of bullshit. It's sad, because there are actually people like her in real life.
She explained it though
+Ginger Brown But that had nothing to do with what was going on at the moment. They were talking about abuse going on in the home. Not someone's breast milk. That's what I meant when I made the post. Geesh.
Mo'Nique OWNED that role! This was like, a powerful and intense role. I couldn't bring myself to watch it again
I have a cousin that went through a very, similar situation like Precious did. I’ve always wanted to be a social worker, because of her, but was always conflicted. This movie really inspired me to go through with it.
that's really nice to hear, thank you!
Good 👍
Hearing her say Precious was three when the sexual abuse started made my stomach drop. Just...disgusting.
TheWolves24
In the book, Precious was actually a baby still....just sickening
The book is worse. She talks about going to school with semen stains on her dress in second grade.
Even more sickening is the fact that Precious contracted HIV from the sexual abuse.
Rightttttt
Rose Strife14 OMG!!!!!😭😭😭😭
I just seen an interview with Monique talking about this movie. She said after they were done with the abuse scenes she would ask Precious if she was ok and they would hug and laugh.
This scene is so real and well acted. Mo'nique is astonishing, Gabby is heartbreaking and Mariah nails it.
I just wanna say Monique did a fantastic of portraying the abusive mother, it felt so real it almost made me sick, thats what makes a good actor
Damn..any therapist would need therapy after all that.
Lilac Diamondz Yes Lord
It's crazy to me how people who are most famous for being funny and hysterical like comedians or people who played funny characters on TV (Eddie Murphy, Monique, Will Smith) , make the most phenomenal dramatic actors and can put on the most stellar, incredible performances. Monique was absolutely amazing in this scene.
It's the tears of a clown. They are always putting on an act to make people laugh. It's probably easier for them to just act real for once.
Jasmine Simmons that's because some gifted comedians laugh through their trauma the reason their comic is genius and helps them keep their sanity to tell other's who might and will go crazy😱.....and when they relive the story they speak it as if it's happening vividly in the moment
Which is why it's silly when people say the academy is racist. When comedians are getting the awards, you have to stop blaming racism and just perform better.
I agree.
Jasmine Simmons agreed
All the pity me tears in the world can't save you now, Mary. I'm so glad she was exposed as the heartless monster she was. She's crying for herself. Not the horrendous abuse she allowed and even dared to blame Precious for. What amazing acting from everyone in this movie.
The scene is sad af but when she said “I was born in November” I laughed
Best subtle acting scene in history of film
have you seen MONSTER? Charlize Theron was called by critics out there "the best performance of history in cinema"...
@jorge flores can other people have an opinion that differs from critics ,,,, ??
and that movie was AWESOME
Jorge Flores can people have opinions? thanks.
Surely a great example of acting but I would be careful with superlatives. There are a lot of acting gems out there.. specially in the non-mainstream-movies.
Man, what a horrible experience & family. Shit like this actually happens too. This is why social programs & interventions are vital to preserve the well being of the community.
But the funding isn't there. The support isn't there.
If we can build roads & parks, then this is possible too.
Barracuda619x it's not there that is the point
Nubleedajedii06 Incorrect, they are plenty of ways to help. From petitions, from soup kitchens, & even just being more human towards our fellow people. You see, poverty is not caused by a lack of resources, but a lack of compassion & caring.
That's why you need good fathers.
No matter how many times I rewatch this I can't get over how exquisite Mo'nique's acting was in this scene. Absolutely stunning, I'm not a fan of the Academy Awards but if there ever was something they did right it's giving Mo'nique the award for this role
The mother of Precious reminds me of LovelyPeaches.

She should've won the Oscar. This scene sends chills up your spine.
@@lillianwaise5545 I wonder if they meant Gabourey Sidibe
Alot of people overlook how damaged and traumatized the mother is. She literally repeats the exact phrase that that monster used as the internalized proclamation of herself "I shut my fat ass up." She saw herself as he saw her. It's so sad, because I see a woman who didn't know how to love because she herself was not loved and was abused. Behind every broken woman is a man/woman who broke her. Remember that.
And behind every broken man 😢
Mo’Nique’s performance in this movie is one of the greatest performances in film history
Absolutely!!!!
Not sure I'd go that far, but she was great

i agree, best acting in the whole movie i think.
You know you've done bad when the social worker walks out
November....my Scorpio child.
.....I’m a Sagittarius
StuUngar lol
I’m Scorpio and we’re neighbors
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Monique played this role to the fullest but let's give Mariah Carey some credit too. Their exchange was beyond amazing.
Corijuan Reese why y’all keep bringing her up what did she do???😂😂(I’m young so Idrk this)
She's Mrs.Weis
That would have made me quit or get fired if I was her.
Corijuan Reese were* correct grammar please
Kristal Rice ???? What?
Gabby, Monique, Mariah, all three did amazing in this scene. As did the baby. BYE.
bitca222 I'm sorry but I died when that baby said Bye!😂😂😂
bitca222 the movie star haunting yet good
You're cute 😏
Yasmine Metayer she is fake bro ..
The actor who plays Carl did an amazing job as the villan
Such an incredible scene. What an actress. So glad she won the Oscar for this performance.
This is to an extend pure narcissism. She isn’t upset she is loosing her child and grandson. She doesn’t care for them to be cared for and happy. She has no regard for her or anyone. She simply sees them as things. Tools that BELONG to her and are for her to use as she sees fit purely to benefit herself.
Those humans are monsters and very very real. They are anyone and can come from everywhere. Happy charismatic people.
It’s healthy to have a level of distrust of every human.
As awful as this scene is, I can't stop watching it. It's so beautifully acted and so real. Unfortunately, this is how a lot of women think on a far lesser level - the man comes before everyone else.
true.
Fabalocious Dee and I know a few smh
Fabalocious Dee Monique did such a good job here. You feel her pain but her perspective is definitely warped... that she's jealous of her daughter. But she obviously didn't feel good enough about herself to see the truth
You get the impression NOBODY loved her enough to raise her right... she was probably abused too...
Eugene Murphy Actually he was already married when he settled down with Mary. For all we know, he could have had a good life and he was just a sick, depraved piece of shit. It's not always abuse that breeds abuse.
That woman is so disgusting and vile o.o Monique blew my mind in this scene
hahahaha this is such a mess. my only thoughts as she was explaining that was "bitch go to jail" and i felt a strange mix of emotions
TaniaxMr.J:3 o
I just found out Helen Mirren was supposed to be Ms. Weiss. Well, either her or Mariah would be good, but Mariah is 100% New York she definitely knows the era and feel of the movie.
This has to be one of the most moving scenes in cinema history! There probably wasn't a dry eye on the set. Well done!
This scene is really disturbing do you hear what she's saying!!! It's crazy!!
the book is so much more sad and disturbing and dark but that's what makes it amazing
What is it saying???
Jen Cannizzaro 😩
Who else was make me feel good late at night and she made him go away....omg
This is a real story for millions of women around the world. It’s way more common than you think. Some men take women who they think are weak and beat them down so that they’ll allow things like this
Your child comes first no matter the cost
Its not even about your child even it was a bb in the middle of the path. You csnnot let someone or your boyfriend abuse that child.
@@rhunieangella5424 he said what he said
Shut up moron
Man who touch a child, men who has no dick
Diestro Passive // men who touch children can’t get no p*ssy 🤭🤭
Ive never felt disgust, hatred and empathy at the same time. What a performance
mariah crying because of the corruption she is hearing aswell as the empathy she had for precious was excellent. You could easily tell it was for multi-reason.
I like to think in that moment Mariah was thinking about her sister Allison and the parallels.
One of the hardest movies to watch
Rainey J true
It makes my heart hurt and sad . It makes me feel sorry for all mothers and daughters
@@gabethedinosaur95 But unfortunately it's a real situation in many world's households...
Yea!!
I was disgusted the whole time!
I know, right?
My god, Monique, need a standing ovation for this performance. N0 wonder she got an Academy Award for this movie.
It wasn't THAT good! This movie is overrated and OVER melodramatic and had a "hidden" agenda to snag awards due to a very depressing storyline. The old let's get sympathy and garner some awards from someone else's personal tragedy.
Ricky Parker you really thought you were on to something didn’t you. lmao
Ricky Parker this was all 1 take
Ricky Parker Shut up... please just shut up...
@@rickyparker3853 thats not the reason she got the award though. The reason she got the award is because she's a monster and an evil being that brought something else to the table. Fucked up as it is. She displays a humanity that her character doesnt deserve. The only other person that did that was Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs
The fact that there are mothers who are delusional like Monique is mind blowing.
Wow, Monique was superb acting this part. She fully deserved the Oscar
Mo'nique plays such a vile and cruel woman in this movie. The acting in this scene is so powerful and convincing it almost makes you emphasise with her. Not condoning what she did but you can see where she is coming from, resenting her daughter because the man she loved was interested in her instead. Her scenes with Precious (Gabourey Sidibe) make for uncomfortable viewing but the contempt she shows towards her is so realistic it's scary. Acting at its finest
"Not condoning what she did" lol when the acting so good you confuse the character and the script.
Pete Finch i know I'm late, but i can't help myself. I believe the word you meant was "empathise" not "emphasise"
chris F. Oh yeah lol. That's what I meant. Thanks
I agree her acting was a master class..well deserved oscar. This part made me so sick to my stomach because most mothers have an instinct to protect their babies.....even in the animal kingdom. Most mothers would have cut that mans hand off before he reached for their baby to abuse them... an example would be mother whales will put their babies on their stomach and push themselves out of he water allowing themselves to be attacked before their baby will suffer. The scene was gut wrenching... it really was. a mothers love should be and is stronger than any love for a man ... in my opinion but sadly that’s not the case sometimes.
I would say "carl watchu doin, watchu doin, watchu doin, umm ummmm" 💀
Haunting
My boyfriend's name is Carl :/ Thank God he's not like that sick monster
+Ima Queen shut yo fat ass up
***** thx -_-
The acting is phenomenal but that part always cracked me up!
“Them Scorpio’s, you gotta watch them”🤦🏽♀️😂 No but seriously Monique DESERVED that award, she played this role so GOOD I couldn’t watch anything else with her acting for a while… felt that she really WAS that character.
This scene right here won Monique the Oscar. Hell of a performance.
Mariah Carey needs to play more serious roles like this
Best thing about Monique in this just how she's able to make Mary evil and pathetic almost pitiful all at once . She's unspeakably cruel to Precious yet she's totally reliant on her . By the end of this scene she realises she's not only has she lost her hold over Precious, she's ultimately lost her only support. She tries to get it back only to find it's too late.
Exactly. All the abuse and suffering Mary has put Precious through has finally caught up to her. Now she's all alone with nothing while Precious is moving forward with her babies. Those pity me tears can't save her now.
*I felt bad for her when she said that Precious sat there and let her man have her. It makes you realise that it’s all Precious’ fault.*
@@earlaweese sorry but how is it precious’ fault????? Her father had been doing it since she was three, she probably became normalised to it and her father even told her that he will marry her.
@@bisolasoutlet9371 don't respond to that person. they're a troll. i saw them defending Lovely Peaches on another video.
@@bisolasoutlet9371 what SK meant was, they are trolls who feed on hate comment, the only way to beat a trolls is ignore them
co-dependency is a monster. this is how generational trauma works. and why it's so powerful, and hard to break.
I love the social worker at the end “you really want me to let you reconnect with your daughter, get the fuck away from me don’t touch me” when Monique goes to grab her hand
