I always hurt the one I love the most

After watching this movie, I suddenly felt that "love" is really a heavy word.

People who obviously love each other always hurt each other. The deeper the love, the deeper the hurt. In many cases, what people lack is not love, but not knowing how to love and how to express love. Carl's father, doesn't he love Carl's mother, doesn't he love Carl? He was hurt so deeply by his wife, but he was full of praise for her in front of his son; Carl did something wrong, but he didn't admit his mistake, he just used the Bible to influence him, and he would feel guilty even if he lost his temper a little. Where did he go wrong? He doesn't know how to express his love; he doesn't understand how important it is to express love to his son; he doesn't understand how much his son needs to know his love.

In this world, it is not enough to have love in the heart, otherwise there will not be so many misunderstandings and so many tragedies that make people feel sad. In many cases, it may be more important to communicate, express, and try to understand others and let others understand you.

Just like that girl, she was afraid of Karl at first, but fell in love with him in the end. She was afraid because she didn't understand him, and loved because she finally understood him.
