Sad after watching the movie

I like this movie very much, and I won't say much about its benefits here. I mainly want to talk about what I think is its flaws, just my personal opinion. The film's rendering of lovers gradually liking each other is not enough, and it seems a bit abrupt. It is the first time that they accept each other for the first time, and they are only kissed, and they are caught by Mormons, which is too uninteresting. In addition, Christian's whereabouts are also very strange, and he can drive quickly to wherever others want to go by plane. Most importantly, the description of Aaron in the second half of the movie is too heart-wrenching. First, he cut his wrists, then he entered the transformation center. Finally, he misunderstood Christian. It was very depressing when he watched it, even if he added a beautiful and pleasant surprise. The ending couldn't make up for this depressed mood, and the ending didn't show enough of their hard-won happiness... In short, after watching the movie, the mood is not good, and it will not be relieved for a while.
