I had to see Harold and Maude again with Mary as she'd never seen it before. I really think it's up there among my favourites, I remember seeing it at 14 and being shocked at the relationship between the older woman and the young boy, but watching it again, it's a more genuine relationship then some I see today.
Everything about this movie is great, particularly the characters. Harold's mother, whom I regrettably can't find any pictures of is so fashionably inspirational. Besides that, there are so many little philosophies about life/death in this movie that I love.
I hope to grow old like Maude someday.
A great film: quirky, melancholy, always interesting. I also liked another film Bud Cort is in, Brewster McCloud. although it is a little dated.
ReplyDeleteI did find one small, fuzzy picture of Harold's mom.

thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep that movie in mind.
ReplyDeleteI saved the picture of Harold's mom, just in case. Thanks!
