Thursday Night Movies “Harold and Maude” (1971)

“Harold and Maude” is a quirky and heartwarming film about the unlikely bond between Harold, a morbidly fascinated teenager obsessed with death, and Maude, a free-spirited and eccentric 79-year-old woman who embraces life with unbridled joy.

Harold, a lonely and alienated teenager, stages elaborate fake suicides to shock his wealthy and emotionally distant family. He finds solace in the macabre, spending his time attending funerals and collecting objects related to death.

One day, Harold meets Maude, an unconventional woman who embraces life with a youthful zest for adventure, defying societal norms and embracing a philosophy of living every moment to the fullest.

Their unlikely friendship blossoms into a profound connection, as Maude teaches Harold to appreciate the beauty and wonder of life. She helps him to break free from his morbid fascinations and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.

“Harold and Maude” is a film that celebrates individuality, nonconformity, and the power of finding connection and meaning in unexpected places. It explores themes of death, life, and the importance of embracing life’s complexities with a sense of humor and optimism.

The film’s unconventional characters and unconventional story make it a unique and enduring classic, reminding us of the importance of celebrating life, embracing our differences, and finding joy in unexpected places.
