So I had to watch Harold and Maude (1971) for my Film and Lit class on Monday. I was expecting it to be okay, but nothing extraordinary, since I normally don't like Rom-coms.
Oh boy was I wrong, it is easily going into my top 10 favorite movies. From the opening scene, I knew I would love it. I relate to Harold so much, and his growth through the movie is just amazing. And Maude is also amazing, and if someone like her came into my life at my lowest moment, I would also fall head over heels in love with her.
If you do choose to watch it, TW for Suicide.
Also, if you love Harold and Maude please interact, I need to see other's takes of this movie.
I was listening to a Bud Cort interview and he was talking about his film Ted and Venus, but he said like “…people had 7 partners then, men, women, objects, whatever!”
And I froze.
I just did he know? Did he know in the 90s post Electric Dreams? Were there people wanting to get with his computer guy?
Is loving Edgar nothing new?
I mean I know there’s some songs about dude wanting to get with their cars so… he was probably talking about that but ahhh
