Could it be worse than this?

The title of the film seems to be the biggest irony. Although a happy ending is always a little old-fashioned, the audience does not want to be tortured from beginning to end. But "cherishing" means to whip your spirit in all directions, distorting, smashing, and ravaging even a little bit of the remaining good hope in the hearts of the audience.
When the protagonist's chubby body made his first appearance, his body took up almost half of the screen. I could immediately think of the discrimination that children of this stature would be subjected to in school, but the development of the story was completely beyond my ability to imagine misery. Then, as soon as the camera switched, we were ruthlessly informed that the 17-year-old was pregnant for the second time. But is there anything worse than this? Yes, her two pregnancies were all because of being raped by her father, but her mother hated her for taking away her man because of this. Is this the worst? Apparently not, her father passed AIDS to her, and her time was short. This is just a main line, and the fate of the protagonist alternates between tragic and more tragic. The pain in the world seems to be staged again on this girl who looks so strong but still underage.
I really didn't see any hope or motivation that this film conveyed to me. If at the end Precious pulled the two children forward with satisfaction, it could be counted as a trace of happiness, then this kind of happiness The price is too great. I would rather she never came to this world. I also don't want to write any more memories of the film, because in the face of this kind of unsolved tragedy, I would rather turn my head away than watch it helplessly. In the face of fate, the protagonist cried out why me in pain, but I didn't want to deduce my gratitude for being so lucky from this point. With Precious, at least, I only see despair.
Finally, I want to say: "Old boy, you lied to me!" I'm afraid I can't relax after watching this film "Cherish Love" for a few days... I really don't recommend anyone with a low crying point or a poor psychological capacity. Students watch. Especially girls, watch the movie with caution...
