History Film / Cherry2021

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Cherry and Emily are far messier, worse people in the novel than the film, where they're turned into a sweet but troubled couple. Their cruelty and blowout fights are massively downplayed. Also, Emily's drug abuse is shown to be caused by Cherry;s influence, rather than something they both partook in when they met.

* ArmiesAreEvil: The movie does not shy away from the predatory nature of the army in terms of how they recruit directionless or downtrodden youngsters. It's made very clear that Cherry does not belong in the army and joined solely on an emotional whim that is then exploited by recruiters. They then use these wayward youths up and then spit them out shells of their former selves with no means of properly coping with their traumas.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Cherry is able to pay off his and Emily's debt to Black before turning himself into the police while overdosing one last time. Because of his drug possession and many bank robberies, he is sentenced to 14 years in prison during which he kicks his drug habit. He attends meetings, eventually leading them and when he's released he reunites with Emily and they are able to start anew with them both in control of their addiction.]]

** The narrator's name is not revealed he's referred to as the titular Cherry, by the casting.

* ShellShockedVeteran: The film not only portrays how experiences of war can affect a veteran and their loved ones, but it also shows how incompetently medical services can be with helping them, making things even worse. Cherry at one point tries to go to a doctor at the request of Emily in order to find an alternative to Oxy to deal with his trauma. The doctor still recommends Oxy.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Cherry masturbates thinking about Emily in a portable toiletry.
