Harold and Maude

Surprisingly hilarious and strange story about living life to the fullest. This film was really well made and the soundtrack for the film was also amazing. I really enjoyed watching it, it was fun to watch.

Ruth Gordon really had a great and touching performance in the film as Maude, an old woman who loves life and the earth. I also thought Bud Cort was surprisingly charming as well in the film as Harold, a young man who is very much so obsessed with death. I think the clashing of the two works very well and they actually have great chemistry together. Whenever it was their time to shine they both absolutely rocked their scenes. I thought in the end it was actually a touching, yet heartbreaking film. It's a perfect example of opposites attract.

Overall, Harold and Maude was a great film. Definitely gave me similar vibes to The Graduate. Nevertheless, the characters, storytelling, camera work, shot composition, cinematography and acting were all great. I recommend checking it out tbh. There are a lot of good messages in the film.

Definitely one of my favorites from the New Hollywood era so far.
