As a comedy, it hangs at the beginning. Reminds me of a man named Ove.

A Man Called Ove Decides to Die (2015)
8.9
2015 / Sweden / Drama / Hannes Helm / Ralph Lasgarde Baja Pass

The whole film is shrouded in the curtain of war, revealing the depression of people under the fear of war. The salute of the uncle's broken hand is funny and ironic. Fragments of tombstones, survivors of concentration camps. Empty shot of the police.

The young master of the upper class and the old woman who survived the concentration camp fell in love. The director deliberately widened the age difference and arranged for the old man to take poison on his birthday. This is love that defies power and time.

In the end, the young master ditched the hearse and turned to music. Those lucky survivors, just enjoy life. Rebels of high society are always fearless, as long as you do not rebel against your class. just enjoy life

It's a good comedy with a mix of love, satire, humor, death, war, rebellion

As for love, Nixon, Freud, and priests can't affect it.

    Hahahahaha, this movie is so weird, when a little freak meets an old freak, is it cute or cult? The actor was chosen so well, that face with that makeup and the performance has a very supernatural feeling, help ! When I saw the beginning, I thought it was a tragic beginning, but I just burst out laughing! The original sound is awesome!

    Accidentally "clean", "chef" Hal Ashby stewed a pot of alternative chicken soup, in fact, the entrance is smooth and not greasy, WesAnderson and Jaco van Dormael should have stolen the teacher. I'm also going to tell a story between two checkmates in my new collection of short stories, and now it looks like this movie has all I wanted to say.

Harold and Maude quotes

  • Harold: What were you fighting for?

    Maude: Oh, big issues. Liberty. Rights. Justice. Kings died, kingdoms fell. I don't regret the kingdoms - what sense in borders and nations and patriotism? But I miss the kings.

  • Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?

    Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.

    Maude: Why do you say that?

    Harold: Because they're all alike.

    Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,

    [she points to a daisy]

    Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*.

    [she gestures to a field of daisies]

    Maude: [cut to a shot of a field of gravestones in a military cemetery]
