Oprah, Tyler Perry happy to endorse “Precious”
Oprah Winfrey did not write "The Bluest Eye" or "Middlesex" or "Love in the Time of Cholera". But her formidably influential book club has helped many an author - alive or dead, famous or no - reach a wider audience.
Now the multinational corporation disguised, cunningly, as a cultural arbiter and television personality hopes she can do a similar favour for a film she "really, really, really loves."
It is "Precious," based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire. Already this year, director Lee Daniels' adaptation, from a script by Geoffrey Fletcher, has won key awards at the Sundance and Toronto film festivals. There should be many Academy Award nominations in its future.
The film may tone down the grim oppression of the 1996 novel, but it's nonetheless a wrenching experience. In 1987 Harlem, a teenage girl named Claireece "Precious" Jones lives life one crushing day at a time. She is illiterate, obese and pregnant with her second child - both times, she was impregnated by her own incestuous and abusive father. Her mother offers no protection. As portrayed by Mo'Nique, she is a fearsome, almost feral physical and abuser herself, a barbed-wire hurdle the protagonist, played by newcomer Gabourey Sidibe, must clear before getting on to what life holds in store.
Perry and Winfrey came to
the project after it was finished. Daniels, who previously produced "Monster's Ball" and directed Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding Jr. as assassins and lovers in "Shadowboxer", sent a screener of "Precious" to Perry, whose entertainment empire is spearheaded by his overly popular character, Madea. "After I saw it," Tyler said, "I called Oprah (whom he'd known since she had him on her show in 2001) and said: You gotta see this."
She did. "It struck me in a way that nothing else has," she said. "The only tiling that came close was reading 'The
Color Purple' -- that's how struck I was. It took the breath right out of me."
Winfrey called Daniels in January on the night, and at the moment before the actual moment, in fact, he walked up to the stage to receive an award at Sundance in Park City, Utah. She offered her support and encouragement alongside Perry’s. She offered some money as well, which Daniels declined. Both said they plan to collaborate in the future on something.
"Singer Mariah Carey (who plays a social worker in 'Precious') wanted to invest too," Daniels said, "but I
knew if I were to accept money from Mariah I couldn't get the same performance out of her. I can't get truth if they're cutting a cheque."
Winfrey has spoken freely of her childhood sexual abuse. Perry, too, has gone public with his own horror stories, and in Toronto he spoke quietly but candidly about "Precious" echoing his own experiences growing up in New Orleans.
"That's what made me say: I have to be involved. 1 have to bring this to my fan base. I have to let them know about this film."
