“An old man, a young man and life's greatest lesson.” This sentence is the topic sentence in this movie. The story is about an old professor Morrie found he got a serious illness and would died. He appointed with his student Mitch to have life' lesson every Tuesday until Morrie die.

After watching this movie, what impress me most is the sentence, "once you learn how to die, you will learn how to live." To Mitch, Morrie is not only the teacher, but a man to change him and tell him the meaning of life. When Mitch and Morrie first met after 16 years, Morrie asked many questions to know Mitch's life. I think each question is valuable, we should also ask ourselves how can I answer these questions. For example, "Do you feel calm in when you stay alone?

Were you a musician as you always hoped?" All of these questions are aimed at letting Mitch listen to his heart.

What I remembered well is Mitch'words," No, I hadn't played the piano yet, now that I grow up." It's very though on the journey of pursuing our dreams and therefore many people fail. So did Mitch. He gave up his dream of being a musician, and became a reporter who had no time to relax himself and spent all his time on reporting. Maybe he could earn a lot of money, but I think money is not the only thing we should pursue. I hold the view that kindness and friendship are more important than money, so we should insist our dream and try our best to realize it.

Morrie is always laughing and his optimism can not make others connect him with death. He taught us that dying is just one thing to ba sad about, and living unhappy is above. So we should be happy and be hopeful to life and be kind to life, then you will feel life is so sweet and you will learn the meaning of life.

"An old man, a young man, and a life lesson". This is a sentence written in "Meeting Tuesday". This sentence is concise but has content, which aroused my curiosity. The film tells the story of an old professor, Morrie, who, after learning that he has a terminal illness, in the last part of his life, he and his student Mickey make an appointment to take a life lesson every Tuesday until the old Morrie leaves. "There is no need for books, no grades, and no grades in the class, but there are many topics discussed, involving love, work, society, age, forgiveness, and death..." Old Morrie's conversation was peaceful, cordial, and humorous. He was about to die, and his outspokenness was admirable.

After watching this film, the most memorable sentence for me is: "Once you understand that death is not terrible, you will know the meaning of life". Only if you are not afraid of death and do not escape, can you know how to live a better and more meaningful life. Now many people waste their time every day in a daze, wasting their great years. Although Professor Murray is a long time ago, he still treats life with his fullest enthusiasm and welcomes the brilliance of life. Every day in your life is a perfect day as long as you experience it with your heart.

Another thing that deeply touched me was that the student Mickey gave up the music dream he loved and pursued and became a reporter. Yes, maybe he won money and honors, but in the dead of night, does he also feel that his heart is empty and unfulfilled, and he feels that he has lost the joy of his dreams. Therefore, it is better to pursue your dreams and realize your original wishes while you are young and in your prime. Being young is not afraid of making mistakes. As long as you have the courage to try and pursue, your youth will not be in vain!
