Some kind of Stockholm Jules syndrome is very subtly prescribed for his rapist, resulting from a desire for revenge. At the same time, of course, at some point you even feel sympathy for the deeply insecure Preston (well, it's not difficult, in fact, McKay is very hot in the role of a gopnik), and their relationship looks even cute - but the more cute, the more you feel the abnormality of what is happening and you sit in suspense waiting for it to explode.
But still, the main message is probably that revenge leads nowhere except to another cycle of violence. Mb Preston would have come across some other brave guy who would have broken through his shields and mb they did (although of course you wouldn't wish anyone to fall in love with such a person), but here it seems to me that's it, it's unlikely he will ever be able to make such a gesture of trust. And he's an aggressive asshole who deserves to be punished for what he did, but I don't know if heartbreak is the right kind of punishment and whether it will benefit someone. It seems to me that even Jules himself is not very happy with the accomplished revenge in the end. On the other hand, the overthrow of the object of fear allowed him to fight back, both psychologically during these months and physiologically in their final fight.
In short, I wish more than ever that there was less hate in the world and that love brought people only happiness.
