Who trusts this movie?

Topic trust, full of dependence on others, unconditional trust in other people's words or actions.
At first glance, I thought it was a movie full of sunshine, but no, this is a movie about redemption.
Annie, a 14-year-old girl, fell in love with a 16-year-old Charlie through the Internet. He is considerate, gentle, full of wisdom and humor, which is simply irresistible to a 14-year-old girl who is just beginning to love. The 14-year-old is an age who has just come into contact with society and wants to fully understand the world. They are ignorant, full of curiosity, and always concerned about the topic of love and sex. Charlie was actually 35 and outlived them by more than 20 years, so he understood.
He knew what girls would adore and what jokes they would be happy with without losing their sense of proportion. Step by step, he led girls into the traps that had already been woven. He is undoubtedly a wolf, waiting for a simple lamb.
When Charlie and Annie first met, Annie was surprised and disappointed because Charlie said he was 16, then changed to a 20-year-old college student, and then a 25-year-old graduate student. When I met, it was a 35-year-old middle-aged man with a pot belly. But really, Charlie dresses very cleanly, without losing a touch of elegance, and seems to be a learned and successful person. Even if Annie was disappointed at first, after a while of contact, she would lose her guard against him again.
So, he succeeded, he knew girls of that age too well, and he knew how to make them believe him and let go of his defenses.
At the end, a video is shown, and it can be seen that Charlie should be a character like a professor, full of wisdom and knowledge, and a virtuous scholar. But who would doubt such a highly respected professor?
Anne, who was undoubtedly the most hurt, trusted Charlie. Even if the FBI goes to the house and says he raped you, you are the victim. Anne still didn't believe it, she always thought that Charlie loved her. It was not until the police found the other victims that Annie woke up like a dream. Turns out, he was a liar. This trust makes my heart feel heavy. At the age of 14, I think I understand the society and are full of sunshine, but I don't know how dangerous the future is. When the sun is not yet warm, the dark clouds are already dense.
I feel sorry for this little girl, I am afraid that I will never trust other men in the future. I gave you my heart and you gouge it out and tell me it was just a hoax.
This not only hurt Annie's body, but I'm afraid her heart will be difficult to recover.
Annie's father, from the moment he learned about this, was full of ill-will, and wanted revenge and murder. So he actively cooperated with the police to solve the case, and repeatedly went out or went online to find out even the slightest trace of the suspect. He was haggard, exhausted, and unable to keep pace with his work. A friend asked him what was wrong and he said it was my daughter. When my brother asked him what was wrong, he said it was your sister.
The whole family saw that something was wrong with you and asked you what was wrong, but you didn't see what happened to Annie. What she really needed wasn't to find out who he really was. It is the concern from the father, not the doubts and suspicions.
The role of father is too rational, and understands that he is too angry and wants to protect his daughter, but excessive rationality and truth drive her daughter into hell.

Fortunately, in the end, the father and daughter talked, untied the knot, and hugged each other.
Post a last line, I like it very much.

[You just have this sense of trust... Trust all things, all people, the whole world. That's you, fearless, I like it, I'm proud of you, even jealous. My job is to keep you in that belief and keep you safe. But I have failed you, what am I? If I can't keep you safe, watch you lose that belief, watch you question yourself, watch you try to do things that hurt yourself, I don't know if you can forgive me, I want to say, I'm sorry, Annie 】
