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.

Harold and Maude quotes

  • Uncle Victor: Let's examine the facts on it. I say this country has been too harsh on its outright condemnation of war. I say you can point to the many material advantages brought about by a crisis and conflict policy. Why, Hell, World War II gave us the ballpoint pen!

  • Harold: I had the most wonderful day today - and - you're very beautiful.

    Maude: Oh, Harold - you make me feel like a schoolgirl.
