#harold and maude

[leonardcohenofficial]

truly makes me insane how people hate on harold and maude like gee i wonder why a disaffected depressed draft-age young man who feels like he has no control over his life and is being constantly ignored by his mother feels suicidal and acts out by staging attempts to die to evoke literally any sense of feeling while a literal holocaust survivor finds such beauty and joy in all the things in life that she's still here to experience makes a point of teaching the aforementioned young man about why it's important to live and chooses to end her life on her own terms like hmm what about the sociopolitical context of 1971 might be particularly relevant to these aspects of their characters and the storytelling of the film as a whole
