The neglected "cherished"

Watching "Treasure" reminds me of "Miracle in the Green Mile". Writing a film review for "Cherish Love" is actually writing a film review for "Miracle in the Green Mile". There are a lot of plots that are very similar: the same black people, the same big builds, the same good hearts, the same sadness. At the beginning of the film, I wondered why Precious would tolerate her mother torturing her like that, how he could live with her mother after his father gave her her first child, it's incredible, isn't it? Who likes torture? Who wants to be tortured? Who would want to live in such an environment? but she did it, she really did it. Then at the end, Precious's mother said, Precious's father raped her when she was three years old, and I realized that no, she didn't want to live in such an environment, but, since she was sensible, this is life, this is "normal" life. Precious, she also wants to escape, whether in reality or in thought, she wants to escape, otherwise she would not have those fantasies that reflect her inner inferiority, or else, when someone lends her a helping hand , she would leave that "home" so resolutely and decisively without turning back. (Of course, no normal person would want to stay in that so-called "home" anymore.) Under the director's arrangement, we were like following Precious's footprints, walking the way she walked. While walking her way, I cried like I was watching "Miracle in the Green Mile". I'm not crying because I pity Precious, but, I find myself a complete coward in front of her strong, optimistic heart. I'm not going to be like Precious and keep going no matter how fucked up life gets. Another highlight of the film is Precious's mother, who, I have to say, is a tragic figure too. I think when many people see such a mother, they will think: How can there be such a mother? Is there something wrong with her mind? Yes, Precious's mother does have a problem, but is it really her own fault? "A mad woman can't go mad without a reason" This is Modern Family Inside Gloria said. Her biggest problem is that she loves his boyfriend too much and needs someone to love her too much. What she lacks, like Precious, is normal love. She found a way to vent and abused the daughter who allegedly stole her husband, but what about Precious? I can only imagine my handsome boyfriend occasionally. At the end of the film, Precious's mother cried, I believe she really regretted it, she actually loved Precious. But no matter how much love, it can't make up for the damage done to Precious before. In the end, Precious got AIDS, she accepted it, and she said she was going to high school, she was going to college. I'm very happy that Precious is starting a new life for herself and her children. Maybe there's still a long way to go, maybe even more twists and turns than now. But such tormenting days have passed, and there is nothing that can't be passed. I really like a line in the ending song: Nothing good come easy.
