"The Longest Journey" - The Sacrifice for True Love

What Nicholas Sparks needs to point out in this work is obvious at a glance, sacrifice.
This film crosses two lines. After watching many dramas, I will not be surprised by this narrative method. In this film, this double line crossing is a kind of "innuendo": the sacrifice of the female protagonist, the regret of the male protagonist (infertility and ideal conflict).
Ella says time together is more important than time away. Mama Luke said that 8 seconds is all that is needed, and that girl can be your life. The logic is self-evident: true love is precious. The works of Nicholas Sparks are nothing more than that (if you don't know the author, you can make up for Qiong Yao in your brain). So? In order to fulfill love, you must learn to sacrifice.
When Ruth tried to get out of her ordeal but had to go back to Ella, when Luke looked around for a familiar figure after winning a game and it wasn't there, they all understood:
when we realize we can't live without When that person, those sacrifices made for each other were nothing.
PS: The double-line innuendo in the first half is still good, and it can bring people some thoughts. As for whether the paragraph of buying a painting and giving a full set can be understood as the polite applause of the audience listening to Abby’s speech and laughing to the end, but not understanding that the essence of art is real, not limited to the theory of rules and regulations, and has its own manifestations "Love"? It's also quite interesting, everyone can detect something a little different.
As for citing reality to find loopholes in movies, I think it's more interesting to look for ideas in movies.
