Umm i went to see this movie over the weekend and Im guessing those who have read the book know the answer. Did she have to eat her own mother out or something? I was shocked at this scene. Anyone have answers?

If you read the book, there are graphic descriptions of Precious' sexual abuse at the hands of her mother. So yea, she had Precious come eat her out (or masturbate her, both were in the book).
It means what you think it means...in the book the mom was much more evil than in the movie..she blamed precious for her father leaving and makes her take his place sexually...Wayyyy 2 real 4 the movie, so it was only implied.

How horrible, it's breaks my heart when I hear of a father sexually abusing his child(ren) but it just makes it more horrendous when it's the mother. I think I rather just read the book. Just wow.
I am not going to watch this shit. Thanks for posting this.
No you need to go see it. In fact, every black person needs to go see it. AND read the book. It's about what's really being done to our girls. And how hard it is for them to live in this world.
the themes that come up in the story are universal issues of the young black woman.

Its being done to lots of girls. I don't need to see it just because I am black. That is disgusting, I don't have to have it shoved down my throat to feel any more empathy than I already feel.
Because of issues in my own childhood I cannot watch the movie or read the book...can someone tell me what ended up happening to Precious....did she live and go on to lead a productive life just curious....thanks in advance
it's the Brooklyn way!
