Harold and Maude is the single most important cultural event of my entire life. I saw it when I was 19 a couple months after my mother died and I am now 51 and have spent my entire adult life cultivating what I call “Maude life “
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bud Cort's career came to a halt because he had a severe car accident not because he played Harold. - My favourite movie of all time since I watched it in the late 90s. My friends did not show up and I was alone in the movie theatre with a handful of other people. Best thing that ever happened to me. Loved every second of it.
So moving to see how many people this film touched and affected. I thought I was the only one all these years. You all feel
like brothers and sisters. If you love this film- I love you and we are simpatico in the poetic and tragic beauty of this life.
My mom was the one who introduced me to this movie when it was on tv one day. She saw it with a friend in the theater when it came out. Her and her friend were the only 2 laughing all the way through it. She never understood why most of the people didn’t get the humor of the movie. To this day I still will watch it at least once a year or so and I always introduce this movie to people I meet and work with.
I was 16 years old when i saw Harold and Maude at the Roxy Theatre in Buckeye Arizona. I gues I've averaged watching it about once a year...im now 67 years old. This movie has had as profound an impact on almost all of the most important people in my life as it has had on me. I live, laugh and love according to Maude's words. It was, is and always will be my favourite and most important movie in my life.
Seeing it many times over the years, it remains pure heartfelt magic!
Excellent review. In the 80's I taught a film class for 10 years and this was my 'black comedy.' I was able to expose the film to over 1000 students who, for the most part, became fans. Thanks--I will have to watch it again soon--its been a couple years!
It was included in my 10th grade Film Analysis class back in 1984. It changed my life as well. Absolute perfection!
This movie was first introduced to me by a wonderful friend named Jennifer. It changed my entire perspective on life. I watch it every winter on Jan 1st to prepare my brain for the next year. Ruth Gordon is everything this movie teaches one to aspire to yet flee from in the early Bud Cort character... This is the best coming of age movie one could ever watch. It is an unrecognized gift that is too often ignored.
but there is no way. i saw you comment on some incel video some time ago recommending this movie and now after i watched it i see you here. it was a good movie.
@@pawel322 My opinion does not change no matter where my comments fall. Best wishes and glad you liked the movie.
It's the fact that Harold sees his mother fake grief at news of his death that makes him recreate his death to punish her. He saw with her dramatic hand over forehead gesture that it was all an act, and he recreates that moment when describing it to Maude.
*** It was My Fav & Had the Thrill of Asking RUTH GORDON Herself if it was HERS Too! I was in a play in Venice Beach staged in that cement theater on the Beach. RUTH GORDON came to this Facility to Support GREGORY PECK's Son, CAREY PECK who was running for Congress. I saw Her There & I said, "You must know that 'HAROLD & MAUDE' is a Lot of People's FAVORITE Movie. Is It YOUR Too?" She had the 1- Word- Answer that I was Hoping for: "YES!!"
There is a Cinema in Germany, you can watch H&M every Sunday since 50 years.
Impossible not to be profoundly affected by this movie. The concentration camp tattoo on Maude's arm was the most powerful image. While never discussed in the movie, it went a long way in explaining Maude's character insofar as her appreciation of life.
H & M has been one of my all-time favorites since the 70s. I was a child the 1st time I saw it and loved it then! The a bought it on VHS as a teen and played it so much the tape started to wear. 😆 One of the best IMO! Also I had Clerks as well later on!
It’s a beautiful movie.
One of my all time favourites as well (this from a Stanley Kubrick fanboy) and I wish more reactors would watch it and increase awareness of it.
Such a beautifully made film!
I saw it when it first came out, and I've since seen it dozens upon dozens of times. The best way, dare I say the ONLY way to see it is COLD, with ZERO SPOILERS, so unfortunately I can't point any people to this wonderful take on our favorite film until after they've seen it.
I 1000% agree with you. The less you know the more powerful the experience is
Harold and Maude is my favorite film, too. I was so surprised when you included clips from the film I wrote and directed (SAVED!). A little trivia- when Mary is cursing at the church I had originally wanted to use a cover of TROUBLE. Anyway, I love H&M so much. It still changes me to this day.
I actually just revisted your movie last week! I saw it the first time when I was still very much all in on my faith and watching it all these years later when I've taken a few steps back was a totally different experience! Super touched you watched my video!
My mom showed me this film pretty recently. God my mom is cool.
Thank you for making this homage to this fantastic movie. I too like you studied movies at university and I can relate to the part where you talk about watching movies in a large auditorium with other students and discussing them afterwards. Thinking back that was a great part of my life.
This film changed my life. God bless
First time I saw this film (a few months ago) I could instantly tell that this MUST have been one of Wes Anderson’s inspirations, from the whimsical stories and characters, right to the cinematography.
I saw it as a depressed, undiagnosed autistic teenager and I felt like I finally found something I related to. That is rare.
I hate that RUclips bans talk about suicide or other words, basically taking power away from people who need help. It's tough to find things to relate to, and it sucks when neurotypicals ban things that could help people and make them know they aren't alone. Yet, people like The orange clown running are allowed to be shown everyday. Makes no sense.
Just saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Loved it!
I'm glad you liked it!!
The first time I watched Harold and Maude is perhaps one of the most memorable times in my life. I had just returned from Desert Storm and my enlistment in the USMC. The love of my life invited me to watch Harold and Maude in her cabin in Greene County, Pennsylvania. It was such a change from my life in the desert and in southern California where I had been based for the past six years. It was then that I fell more deeply in love not only with her, but with her way of seeing the world, much as Harold did with Maude in the film. I really enjoyed your review because of the depth it went into personally and professionally. I will share it in my Ruth Gordon fan page on Facebook
I love this story so much :) Thank you sir!
Such a challenging movie! And so unlike any other I've seen. A brilliant work of art! I saw it for the first time (on Netflix) around 2014 and watched it many times. You really capture what makes it so special. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much it really is an underrated gem even to this day!
FIFTY YEARS AGO!
Holy shit.
I was introduced to it by my grandmother in the 90’s when I was a teenager and it had been one of my favorite movies ever since. It is sad that it is not more well known. I was glad when it was mentioned in There’s Something About Mary but even after that it wasn’t embraced by the modern generation so it still remained a gem of the past. I love the soundtrack & the story & the messages and the characters. It truly is a work of art which is what many movies should be.
I saw it in 1984, and it has been my favorite all my life. People don't get the brilliance of it.
great movie
Harold and Maude is on many top romantic movies of all times lists. That is how I found out about it. Had never heard of it. So I bought the DVD. It blew me away for being the quirkiest love story ever.
My nephew is a fan of cinema and Goth/ dark themes. I recommended this movie to him. He loved it.
My all time favorite too. Discovered it in 1982, late at night, slightly buzzed, lol.
For the penultimate cinema experience see "Harold And Maud" in a cemetery. If you know, you understand.
So, all young men in the 1970s didn't look like they're in their 40s and Bud Cort is a proof of that.
Nice round up, thanks. I first saw this film in 2000 and it became my favourite film ever since. Garden State is one of the worst films I have ever seen though, it's so painfully desperate, everything that Harold and Maude isn't.
Young Tom Skerritt as the cop
Bud Cort has said that he and others in the cast hated the Cat Stevens soundtrack.
Me too.
❤❤❤❤
love goes towards love
❤😊
You lost me at " they fall in love." But Yusef supported the Fatwah against Salman Rushdie. All true.
❤🎄🎄🎄😘👍👌💙💙
I saw Harold and Maude on New Year's Eve with my parents right after it came out. It was one of the most amazing movies I had seen to that point and has been a favorite ever since. Sadly, the Jaguar hearse has been lost to time, but someone created a restoration recently that is spot on to the original.
The film is a brilliant Masterpiece, so many layers of messages and deep thinking. The value of no attachments, that death is our destiny and there is really no point in attaching to any of societies concepts, including age.
I just watched it again last night after 40 years, I loved it when I was 17, but at 57 it was even more meaningful and powerful.
