Always remember to love yourself.

The movie doesn't have too many sharp turns in the plot, but shows Precious's difficult life from a very flat but also very deep perspective.

Life is always hard, and it's mean for characters regardless of time and place. Being rich, beautiful and healthy is not the criterion for happiness, nor is it the criterion for being poor, overweight, and sick. All decisions about life have blurred boundaries.

Precious loves her children, even if they are the product of her own pain and humiliation—children who were raped by their father with the mother's acquiescence. This is a love sung in the movie, a mother's love.

Another kind of love, I think, is a person's love for himself.

Although Ms. Rain, Precious's classmates and the male nurse have given Precious more or less care and love, none of them supported her decision to raise her two children alone. At the end of the play, Precious walked into the crowd with two children. I don't know how far this illiterate girl with AIDS will end up and how her children will grow up in the end. I know Precious doesn't have an answer for herself, she just wants to be with her kids, love them, and live a new life.

new life. After so much ordeal, Precious still believes that she can have a new life and raise her children as best she can. She loves her children and finds her own worth in life, giving herself the love she has never received from anyone else.

Maybe a person is poor, ugly, useless and loses evidence of existence, maybe a person is a few light-years away from his dreams and extravagant hopes, maybe a person is born with all kinds of unspeakable torture, maybe a person lives alone. There will be a lot of pain in the world and very little love. Maybe a person's life can really be so barren that there is no concern, but no matter when and where life leaves us a spare life-saving airbag, ourselves. Everyone can look down on you, except yourself; everyone can spurn you, except yourself; everyone can not love you, except yourself.

The shadow will not disappear, and a person's love for oneself will not be erased.

Always remember to love yourself.
