(The teacher came over after the appreciation class and pretended to be very good) One of the classic cult movies, it is said that it is a movie that many people like the more they watch. The most interesting thing is actually the setting of teenagers. The teenager who is obsessed with death and the survivor of the concentration camp, Maud (living in the train and tattooed on his arms), everyone discusses different perceptions of love between old and young, but I think it is very romantic. And the most important thing is that the film discusses the theme of living hard and loving life to the fullest. Who wouldn't love Mood? The images in the film are full of contrasts between life and death. Maud represents life. The tree that keeps appearing is life, ? is life, yellow raincoats and umbrellas are life, runners, and the parade are also symbols of life. And Harlow represents death, as are cemeteries and hearses. The most classic scene is the corner of the cemetery, and then more and more, constantly expanding, like a vast ocean. And the shot goes from a bunch of small flowers back to the rows of flowers and the vast green field. I always remember Maud wearing pink and purple eyeshadow, a fairy living in flowers, wearing blue, yellow, wearing a pink scarf, likes racing, likes to paint, and defies authority. She threw the love thing Harlow had given her in the pond and said so I'll always know where it is. The little tree Maud insists on saving is the Harlow she insists on saving.

Maud has been trying to teach Harlow the true meaning of LIVE, teaching him five senses to open up his senses, touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight.

Music is life, and Harlow also learned to play the guqin and dance under her leadership. Eventually Harlow smashes his hearse, saying goodbye to death and playing happy and free music on the hills.

    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.

    The three-star half//The youth's love for death seems to be a kind of Ye Gonghaolong. He may just like the solemn and quiet. For the old woman, even if it is such a fearless or even lawless old woman, death is still a serious matter. She can even refuse the boy’s proposal for death.//Fortunately, at the last moment, she refused and suggested that he love more people//Probably this is what the director wanted to say

Harold and Maude quotes

  • Harold: I like you, Maude.

    Maude: I like you, Harold.

  • Maude: A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life. *Reach* out. Take a *chance*. Get *hurt* even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.
