This should be considered a slow-moving movie. The first half is a bit sleepy and the middle part is getting better and better. The whole plot design is very general except for the ending, but the discussion of death and love it expresses really makes me very, very much. I like

the ancient Greek myth that people were originally hermaphrodites and were split into two halves by Zeus, so men and women spent their lives searching for their other half

. The story of Harold and Maude reminds me of this myth, what is

love What maybe love is just a tool that we use repeatedly until we find the other half We use love again and again until we find the right person.

Many people find the wrong person. Many people think they have found the right person. It's not that the two halves of the original, no matter how similar they are, there will be gaps and they cannot be integrated together. There are always such and such shortcomings in

reality ,

so Harold and Maude, who are holding hands and smiling and leaning on each other in the sun, are so beautiful and enviable

    So funny - "The male child subconsciously wishes to sleep with his mother, of course, what puzzles me, Harold, is that you want to sleep with your grandmother..."

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]
