It’s the nature of memory as a past tense. It’s something that happened, but is now over; a feeling tied to a moment that can’t be touched. It’s weightless but ever-present. We say “haunted by memory” because memories are like ghosts: the aftermath of decisions and actions, loves and their lacking. We go through life accumulating memories, and eventually, the weight of them becomes another obstacle to overcome, a foe to be bested. What happened to the people we were, and the people we knew? What would we have done differently? What do we regret? What do we miss?
For the movie itself, it also touched upon the disadvantages of a world where superheroes exist, specifically the collateral damage in their battles, which can end up causing some casualties they won't intend. Though Shinjiro claims the swordsmen ends up sacrificing few to save many, actually cases like Espada's battle is not the case. Because there's a difference of a mere tragedy that befalls unfortunate victims, or when they actually make a conscious effort to destroy those unlucky few themselves for the greater good. Seems that many of the well-intentioned villainy in the series is done by targeting specifically the swordsman itself to disable their powers or impact, like by Kento as Calibur and Shinjiro here. I guess either should have the consequences being touched upon on how the swordsmen are required to fight against threats, not to prevent damage but to minimize it from spreading further, and that disabling them would make Megid run amok freely. I'm not into Rintaro reconciling with his apparent father after just clashing swords though, which is the opposite of something like Zi-O's Quiz two-parter.

The tight-knit friendships of your youth are exposed as proximity, and steadily peeled away through inattention or circumstance. Best friends become friends become acquaintances become social media reminders of birthdays. It’s no one’s fault. Everyone’s stories are separating, and becoming more complex; the cast of characters getting their own spin-offs, and new supporting casts to go along with them. You get focused on your goals and accompanying milestones: romance, children, career, etc. The parts of your life that were occupied by one group get occupied by another, and the earlier memories start to change shape. What was an in-joke now becomes a solitary secret; a code no one you know now can interpret.
Guess for this part, it's shown by how some of the SoL has parted away like Ogami becoming a teacher, following his predecessor Toshikazu Kamikawa's (in Saber Manga: Buster) footsteps, who was a teacher in Ogami's high school. And the parting seems to be done in the movie itself by... the swordsmen except the Three Musketeers (the main three Riders) only featured as cameos? For this V-Cinema though, the focus is all on those leading Riders, instead of the main Riders being out of focus or even not appearing. About age though, there's also negative impact on them physically, for Mei at least who can't show off her legs anymore, and also struggles climbing stairs (despite the actress still being the same). This'd kill off any hope for those who'd want Mei to henshin.

You turn around, and you realize that the people you once talked to every day are the people you haven’t heard from in years. The happier times come up as a marker of distance, of disconnection. Depression kicks in at weird times. There’s a place you want to go, but it’s unreachable. There’s a feeling you remember like yesterday, but so long ago it’s like a story someone told you. It’s hard to have perspective. The memories… it’s all bittersweet. It’s all what
isn’t
, and the way it’ll never be again. The absence becomes all you can see.
Though actually it can feel as if it's just me or something who isn't really sociable, when time slips without connecting to those people who talked every day, seeing how those people still connects to another old friend of them, regularly hang out to go to places, with me being left out, of which if can feel as if it's own fault if it's not everyone who got separated but exclusively you.

The friendships that change and fade are still friendships you had, friends you made. Resenting the present for not being the past is just a way of denying yourself a future.
Guess there's a practice of this in the movie, which is done by Touma when he discovers that his childhood friend Mamiya is the one who staged his demise all over these 8 years, of which he denies Mamiya's words of the friendship being fabricated because Touma feels the friendship is something real even if it's actually two-faced. Likely similar stuff is also Kento's relationship with Yuina (a.k.a returning Wakana), where Kento feels genuine bond between him and her despite, Yuina also being a backstabber to get revenge on Kento's collateral damage (with it likely being mutual on Yuina's part too). Dunno about putting this into practice, personally, as this can feel like vindicating their actions, but perhaps this is done because the victim-target still feels positively impacted by the backstabber when they helped them in something, even if it was a ruse, with the backstabber feeling comfort in their target's kindness towards them.

Our memories are a story we tell ourselves, and we get to decide how that story makes us feel, and the part it plays in the people we are today.
This story though, ends with the resenting the present for not being the past being validated as Mamiya ends up remembering that he's a future Riku, thus Touma was the said killed father he experienced, and thus he'd only end up committing suicide and/or killing his own father again. Then, this story has a power to change the present to see how it fits by Mamiya convincing Riku to not touch Kyomu, which'd means all the tragedy is undone, making everyone end up happier, other than Mei's physical problems as she ages. Also symbolized by the movie's changed title Trio of Deep Sin to Quartet of Deep Love.
