He also loves to attend other people's funerals, but Maude loves life. Seventy-nine-year-old Maude, she does her own way, does not live under the rules of the world, has no license plate and no car, but always drives away other people's cars. She sees a tree that is about to wither on the side of the road, and she wants to replant her in the forest. inside. The most beautiful scene in the movie is when Maude asks Harold what kind of flower he wants to be transformed into. When Harold chooses a flower with embarrassment because he thinks every flower is imaginary, Maude explains that they are different in height and weight, pointing to one flower and saying I feel that much of the world's sorrow, comes from people who are this, yet allow themselves to be treated as that. The camera then zooms out to see a vast cemetery where they are, the oil-green hillsides are all the same White grave.
On the day that Harold and Maude celebrated their 80th birthday, they realized that she was going to die on that day. Excited, Harold immediately rushed her to the hospital, but couldn't save her. The last scene of the movie is a car that falls from a cliff into the sea, but Harold is still standing on the grass-covered cliff, happily playing the Yueqin that Maude had taught him.
After reading it, I wondered whether Harold really fell in love with Maude, or just because he was the only one who truly treated him and became the mentor of his life enlightenment? As I watched it, I kept thinking about whether the writer first thought of the love match between a 20-year-old boy and a 79-year-old woman when he first set the character story, or was it just an old man who was about to end his life and taught him to live in nothingness. The story of a world-weary youth embracing life, and only later did he conceive of adding a love element to such a pair of extreme personalities and attitudes but mirror images of each other? I am more willing to believe that in such an excellent story and wonderful plot of the movie, the love between the two of them is just a finishing touch. It is really a cult classic to simplify this movie that discusses the philosophy of life and criticizes modern society into a cult classic of 20 men and 80 women. So unfair to it.
I can't hide it, in fact, I'm looking at Harold, whose face is dead gray, and whose eyes are sometimes empty and sometimes gloomy, and also the face of Maude, who is full of wrinkles, but is still powdered and alive, but you How can we not face up to their candid feelings? Even if I am so traditional that I frown when I see Maude breaking the law, how can I not agree that she needs to experience and have a critical spirit?
