Harold and Maude (1971)
Watch the trailer HERE
In honour of my previous blog, chicks and flicks, I'm going to do a movie review on one of my all-time favourite flicks of all time.
Harold and Maude is the eclectic story of the most unlikely couple in movie history.
Harold is a 19 year old boy who, although he has every earthly possession and luxury, is obsessed with death. He converts his jaguar into a hearse, stages countless fake suicides for the "benefit" of his mother and blind dates, and visits stranger's funerals in his spare time. It is at one of these funerals that he first meets Maude.
Maude is 79 years old and in love with life. She sculpts, invents, drives off in stranger's cars, drinks, plays an automatic piano and dances through life without a care in the world.
When the two meet, a friendship develops and Harold begins to learn to enjoy life, take chances, have fun, and play the banjo.
This is a delightful, though extremely odd movie that will make you want to live your life to the fullest every single day.
Maude: Harold, everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can't let the world judge you too much.
