Harold and Maude - 1971
Free on Youtube with ads so I gave it a gander. Heard it mentioned somewhere I can't remember where though. Quite the dark comedy indeed. Pessimism vs Optimism. It definitely makes you feel something by the end of it. I can see this one being polarizing for people. Might be too dark for some too quirky for others. I think the actors did really well it's just hard for me to buy into this flick fully. A 20 year old becoming romantically involved with and 80 year old? I just can't get there. I know it's suppose to be an extreme juxtaposition to prove a point it's just too extreme for my brain to wrap around. I found Maude a bit too eccentric for my taste as well. The movie felt aged as well. Music was good.I can definitely see why if you like it you really really like it. Glad I watched it but I probably won't rush to see it again.

I love this movie. I can watch it every year. But, I wonder if the ads takes you to 2023, making it hard adapting to modern conformity, etc.... If anyone has not seen this, please watch it uninterrupted. Turn off the phone, etc..
