Good observation. I agree with you: this story is about love.

BTW, in English if we use quotations marks around single words. we often mean this is not real. For example, if i say

Henry "loves" to take tests

I probably mean that he hates tests.

That's a good way to approach word meaning, but choosing the right word is not my purpose here.

Learning to paraphrase is a tool to make you more fluent. When you are talking to somebody, you usually don't have time to think of exactly the right word, but that's OK!

Paraphrase gives you freedom to talk without stopping. Just make the other person understand you, even if it is not perfect. Then you can speak fluently.

Paraphrase is a great tool, but don't forget about revisions, the best way to improve.

Yes, using other words (= paraphrase) is a great tool to help you become more fluent when speaking and writing. It will also increase your confidence.

A better way to say it:

When I read the book, I only understood a little, but when I watched the video, I felt this story was truly interesting ("Funny" = makes people laugh. Are you sure this is what you mean?).

It's true that the video version can bring a novel to life. However, a book can also give you important details that are very hard to put in a movie. The book can also make the movie easier to understand.
