Barbara Walters or PRECIOUS???

So the other night on 20/20 I happened to catch Barbara Walters' interview with Jenny Sanford. 

Before I begin, a word about Jenny Sanford- She is AWESOME!

Now Mz. Walters on the other hand needs to be banned from interviewing smart women like Jenny Sanford. She asked ridiculous questions that sounded so backward in thought. Mz. Sanford, on the other hand, handled backward thinking Mz. Walters really well. My thoughts and opinion, obviously. Now I was going to write in details about the language Mz. Walters used in this interview that particularly irked me. I have the interview on DVR to make specific quotes. BUT then just now I watched the movie 'Precious' and I have decided to nix Mz. Walters for now and focus on something more beautiful and powerful.

Where do I begin....Mz. Mo'nique took my breath away with her performance. And Gabourey Sidibe is amazing as Precious. Most of all I was struck by the story. Here I am writing a one-woman play about body-image issues and skin color etc...But here are women who deal with these issues in a whole other deeper level. I don't mean to compare experiences because everyone's experiences are valid and affect them how they might. But when life gets impaired so badly by the need to be loved for who you are.....that's truly sad. Mr. Lee Daniels’ direction truly brought me into Precious’ mental landscape. The film and story took me into a world I know little about but see glimpses of on the subway in New York.I am deeply moved by the story and the need to do so much more for women in our societies world over.
