每個人的觀影經驗都不一樣 (it’s private) 都是在緬懷的「曾經」

留不住的故事 (黃鶯鶯)
流金歲月 電影主題曲

 

a.「在最後的迷惘中，我最後才看清楚
      美麗和悲傷的故事，原來都留不住」

*** why both? 
             ans: Shall I compare thee to the summer’s day
                    “And every fair from fair sometime declines,  
                      By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed.”
                     時間到過了就過了，青春已經流逝。

b. 「青春的腳步，他從來不停止
        每一個故事的結束，就是另一個故事的開始」

No matter if it’s good or bad, it’s our memory. Even if it’s good, it's not able to stay long.
