"...I don't lose weight in March, I'm sad in April, passers-by in May, have no boyfriend in June, get sunburned in July, stay indoors in August, and get fatter in September! October is exhausting blind dates, November has no one To accompany, there are no measurements in December, the flesh is fatter in January, and I don't know who in February..."

Obesity is a word that all women want to keep away from in this era. As soon as the protagonist Ah Zhen appeared on the scene, my body immediately erected thorns with alertness, and the above words were squeezed out of my cerebral cortex. However, for this underage black girl in this film, obesity is only the initial stage of her suffering in life. Not only was she discriminated against because she was fat, she was also poor. Her mother beat her, her father raped her, and made her pregnant with two children, one of whom was mentally retarded. She finally escaped from that terrible family, but his dead father left her with AIDS...

You say, why is it all me? What am I doing wrong?
Don't talk about Jane, even I sometimes want to sigh: Why am I so unlucky? Some scientists have done research, human beings always habitually magnify their own pain and underestimate the bad emotions of others. So, Jane is definitely not the most miserable, neither of us.

Jane is a good girl, at first I saw her forbearance, although it seemed stupid. But for a girl who has been habitually abused since she was a child, it's not too bad. You see, how many years we Chinese have been slaves, and we still haven't... But

it is gratifying that Jane met good people, and they made Jane begin to wonder: You are not my family, why do you treat me better than me? Be ok with the family. But my father and my mother treated me like this...
Seeing someone treat her kindly, I felt kindness in my heart too. I've been feeling violent lately... sinful.
sin.

Yes, when Jane was discriminated against and humiliated, I have been reflecting on my actions. I don't kill people and set fires, but I may have poisoned some people for my purposes. Some I can feel, and some may temporarily sink to the bottom of the river and have not yet surfaced, bleeding from the seven holes.
If in real life, let me encounter a girl like Ah Zhen, I may also stay away. this is the truth. For a while, when I saw those people who were too fat, a villain would pop up in my heart and sigh: How could it be... Then, I would swear and tell myself, never fall into such a person.
Although I didn't go up to her and insult her, I should not criticize her mentally. Because many things are not what she wants.

In the past few years, I have really been poisoned by society, and I have really turned bad. I didn't even notice the process of "close to ink is black". I was puzzled when Jane's mother treated her cruelly. Isn't this baby born by her mother? Later, when Jane's mother wanted to find her, she expressed her feelings to the social worker with snot and tears, and I suddenly realized:
I remembered the picture of Jane's mother masturbating, she was really lonely. She couldn't stand her husband raping her daughter, she was so jealous. She was lonely with mammary gland hyperplasia and uterine bleeding... So she vented everything on her innocent daughter. Most of Ah Zhen's fat was fed by her. She is such a woman, she is lazy, despicable and shameless, she tolerates her husband's incest, she...she creates a vicious circle. Fortunately, Jane is kind, and she still has dreams.

From time to time in the movie, Jane's rose-like dreams will appear. You may find it a little ridiculous, but listen to your heart. Don't you have a dream? When you were young, there were always some unrealistic fantasies that you kept in mind. Azhen is very brave. At the end of the film, she holds a baby, drags a baby, and walks into the crowd. I silently prayed: she would meet a very gentle person. I muttered: I want to be kind to others...

We may not know what will happen in the future, but we still have to go on the long road of life. We can hesitate, but we cannot stop.

    Black, fat and ugly, raped by stepfather, second pregnancy, ordered to drop out of school, infected with AIDS, tortured by her mother...the blows come endlessly, but she lives stronger than us who groaned without disease.

Precious quotes

  • Clareece 'Precious' Jones: You don't even like me.

    Mrs. Weiss: Have we not been in this room together for like, a year discussing your life?

    Clareece 'Precious' Jones: Does that mean we like each other because we discussing my life?

    Mrs. Weiss: [Smiling] Well, I can't speak for you. I can only speak for me, and I like you. I do.

  • Mary: We would, we would, uh, start doin' it, and he reached over... and he touched my baby. And I asked him, and I said "Carl, what are you doing"? And he told me to shut, to shut my fat ass up, and it was good for her.

    Mrs. Weiss: And what did you do then?

    Mary: I shut my fat ass up. And I don't want you to sit there and judge me, Miss Weiss.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Angrily] You shut up and you let him abuse your daughter.

    Mary: I didi not want him to abuse my daughter. I did not want him to hurt her.

    Mrs. Weiss: [Overlapping with Mary's voice] But you ALLOWED him to hurt her!

    Mary: I did not want him to do nothin' to her. I wanted him to make love to me. That was my man. That was my fuckin' man. That was my man, and he wanted my daughter. And that's why I hated her. Because my man who was supposed to be loving me, who was supposed to be making love to me was fucking my baby. And she made him leave. She made him go away.

    Mrs. Weiss: So whose fault was that?

    Mary: It's this bitch's fault, because she let my man have her. And she didn't say nothin', she didn't scream, she didn't do nothin'. So, those things that she told you I did to her? Who... who... who else was going to love me? Hmmm? Since you got your degree, and you know every fuckin' thing, who was gonna love me? Who... who... was gonna make me feel good? Who was gonna touch me, and make me feel good late at night? And she made him go away. So... when you sit there, and you writin' them fuckin' notes on your pad about who you think I am, and why I did it and all of that... because I didn't have a man.
