Is it the only one who sympathizes with that house?

After nine years, I still like this movie. What I saw back then was only fear, but now, besides being moved, it is more sad and a very complicated mentality. Many people have posted the technical posts and character settings of this movie. I am not a movie student so I can’t understand it, so I only talk about it from the content.
Because the film has too little memory in the old man's memory, many people don't pay much attention to them. However, in my eyes, I see a lot of sadness. Fate is so unfair. The female giant is not bad in nature (even the shyness of a girl at the beginning). She didn't do anything wrong, did not steal or rob, but only because of her appearance, she was exhibited as a monster by the circus. All of them bullied and mocked, even being kept in cages to rest, and subjected to inhuman treatment. Finally one day the old man came to take her away, but her heart had been twisted extremely sensitive and aggressive by the torment of fate and the numb world. For her, the old man and the house are all of her life, except for them, she has nothing, and only they treat her as a human being. Therefore, she has to fight all to protect her only hope that no one (especially those numb world and bastard bear children) will be allowed to harm her husband and house. She was just a bit aggressive and did nothing wrong, but the bastard destiny treated her like this, using death in exchange for the pitiful little happy time she and her husband had. In all fairness, if you were this giantess, would you resent it? Are you wronged?
So she turned into a house. To be honest, she still did not hurt anyone. During the forty-five years of her beloved husband’s guardianship, it stayed quietly and did not actively attack any neighbors. Only when the old man was not at home because he went to the hospital, When someone invades the lawn, she thinks someone has violated her house (she thinks she has been hurt) and she will teach them some lessons.
Don't get me wrong, I support it being bombed, because this is the only ending, it has collapsed, and it will hurt too many people if it continues. Just like the old man said, "We all know that we will come back sooner or later, right?", even before being blown up, if you look carefully, when the old man talks to her, she (the house) is still very awkward. Except for a gentle expression. It was this expression that made my heart very panicked. . . . . . But is there a way? Her existence itself is a tragedy, just because she is ugly, she is stupid? Destiny, why can't you let the poor person be happy? What did they do wrong are you doing this to them? How can you be such a bastard!
Finally, I have a question. I hope a great god can help me answer it. Is that the old man's final outcome? At the end of the movie, on the night when everyone else was happy to celebrate the festival, the old man stood alone in the pit of the house that was bombed into ruins. He had nothing, no wife, no home, or even a place to stay. Before, when the old man hesitated to blow up the house, he said to the actor "If I let her go, I will have nothing." The boy didn't say "No, you still have me" but in the end Woolen cloth? The boys patted their butts and left, leaving the poor old man behind. What should he do?
