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.

    The old lady is really charming, I really don't like the music in this film

    I haven't lived, I've died too many times. What an alternative movie, with a charming temperament, and the soundtrack of the movie is great. Little Zhengtai fell in love with themes like the old lady, which is really rare nowadays. There are movies of uncles and little loli everywhere, so what is rare is more expensive.

Harold and Maude quotes

  • Maude: Tell me, do you dance?

    Harold: Pardon me?

    Maude: Do you sing and dance?

    Harold: Uh, no.

    Maude: Uh, no. I thought not.

    [laughs]

  • Harold: You hop in any car you want and just drive off?

    Maude: Well, not any car - I like to keep a variety. I'm always looking for the new experience.

    Harold: [smiling] Maybe.

    Harold: [more seriously] Nevertheless, I think you're upsetting people. I don't know if that's right.

    Maude: Well, if some people get upset because they feel they have a hold on some things, I'm merely acting as a gentle reminder: here today, gone tomorrow, so don't get attached to things *now.* With *that* in mind, I'm not against collecting stuff.
