"Love doesn't know where to start, it goes deep"

I just finished watching "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" last night, and I accidentally opened "Harlow and Maud" today. It’s all about life and death, it’s all about a seemingly unmatched love, and it’s all about a child’s final understanding.
The fat concierge in "The Hedgehog" was ready to love when she died, she hesitated to retreat, and finally was determined to love, but died in a car accident. Maud, on his eightieth birthday, chose to die when love bloomed.
I often beat myself: "All the young and old, and even the disparity between the rich and the poor, as long as the established social standards determine that they are unbalanced and unreasonable, they are all outliers, and they are destined to not be happy."
But why is it so moving?
Is it just a moving story? Miraculous? Fictional moving? Fascinating storytelling?

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]
