When I'm old, teach me to sing the new leaves

It is a very moving and beautiful one. Although it is a comedy, it also depicts the sadness and helplessness of the characters with restraint. The music and pictures are very moving and convey just the right warmth. At first, I simply envy these artists who still use music to decorate their lives after they grow old, and then gradually read out their helplessness. The memory of the glorious past is not only a good memory, but also a ruthless reflection of the reality that the youth is no longer. I really love the Quartet quartet. In fact, everyone in the film is lovable. Standing on the stage is a proud declaration and an affirmation of the infinite possibilities of life. Jane's mental journey may be the only way for every artist here. How to reconcile with yourself when the reality of aging cannot be avoided, how to forget the past twelve curtain calls, and how to show enough courage to start anew. Sing that very familiar melody. Each of them has astonishing optimism and boundless energy, when they pick up the bow, sit at the piano or take the stage to sing, when they cover their past achievements with new glory, when they choose to forgive, when they choose to love . My eyes are moist many times when I watch this. When I am old and my body is like dead wood, please teach me to sing the new leaves like them. Please give me enough courage to choose forgiveness and love like them.

The conversation between Reggie and Jean before they took the stage was really romantic:

"You look very handsome."

"You look very beautiful."

"We are both very old."

"Then let's get married."

My last unease dissipated when they clasped their fingers on the stage, they will complete this quartet perfectly, even if they are no longer young, life still has infinite possibilities, seize every opportunity to make up for regrets, no Give up any chance to sing. The Quartet at the end of the film is really beautiful, the male voice is strong and powerful and full of magnetism, and the female voice is soft and graceful and lightly lifted like a feather, so I know this will not be the last time, they will continue to sing like this.
