What do we expect from aging?
What do we expect from a grizzled, wrinkled, hunched, unresponsive old man?
Walking slowly with a cane, he found a sunny place to sit down, and passers-by greeted him, and he smiled and nodded. Time is so scarce, but it can be used to splurge in the sun so freely, because at this time, you probably don't have to care about anything, and you don't have to chase after anything. The old age that we look forward to is like this, and it seems that after reading thousands of sails, we finally look down on it, and then face life with a peaceful attitude.
But this is not getting old. Our bodies grow old, get sick and die, but our spirits are forever in all kinds of confusion, pain and choices. There is no point in looking forward to age, only what you want at this moment, not what you should.
Everything we love has left a mark in our life. How should we accept that everything is as calm as stagnant water?
Because I love you, I am never at peace.
Just like Reggie in this movie, he begins the film as a standard English gentleman, well-mannered, just the right amount of rigidity, and, as he puts it, "aging majestically." But at the moment when Jane appeared, he suddenly shattered, his body trembled, he lost his temper rudely, hid in the shadow of the church, and sighed in annoyance when he accidentally made a noise and was found by Jane. So is one of the evidences that love emerges that it brings people to life?
The conversation in the church was probably a turning point, and they were open to each other again. Reggie is not indifferent in the face of Jane's vulnerability, perhaps it is her unashamed pain for the past that makes him willing to be honest.
Only then did they begin to communicate peacefully. When I was young, I seemed to be proud and fragile, so even if I was sad, I was unwilling to show that I was afraid of showing that I cared. So one of the benefits of time is that we can finally be honest. Jane asked when walking, so he quit the show because of her, Reggie looked into her eyes and nodded again and again, like a belated confession, spreading the pain of many years into the present in front of the opponent. I don't know if there was any joy in his heart watching her cry, but they were all honest at the moment.
The episode was when I went back and happened to see a young couple walking out of the grass in a panic, the girl quickly explained "We didn't have anything happened" and Jane replied "Me too", Reggi looked at her in shock, what a high level of ambiguous ah Hahaha, it seems like he said something, but he didn't say anything.
When I describe it like this, I only think that they are such a lovely couple. They have had regrets and are slowly stitched together. The old is only the body, but our hearts have more firm strength in time. So in the end, when Reggie proposed marriage with a calm smile on the stage, she was so moved. At that moment, I really felt that love doesn't grow old, it's just the passage of time.
