Review: Harold and Maude is one of our great modern fairy tales. A cult classic in the Seventies, it’s now a timeless romantic document, its message simple in the way all fairy tales are. It says love and freedom are two sides of the same coin. Where one is absent, so is the other, neither able to exist in isolation without the other. Some may call this a romantic conceit, others a fact of life. I happen to be in the latter camp. The love shown in this film is one that sets a person free.Maude is 79, nearing her 80th birthday. But in spirit she’s a teenager again, living wildly, spontaneously, irresponsibly. For kicks she joy rides, stealing cars, driving recklessly, burning rubber with police sirens wailing behind her. She also goes to funerals, enjoying their symbolism and solemnity — the pious church sermon, the hymns and organ music, the mourners in black, the sealed casket, the hearse and chauffeur, the mumbled religious homilies and tears falling over the open grave. She isn’t there to mock death. She’s there to face it without flinching.Harold is 18 and likes funerals too, but for different reasons. He’s pale, impassive, morbid, a corpse in the making. He hates his mother, himself, life. He wants to die but hasn’t quite worked out how it will happen. But to that literal end he’s practising. His lone hobby, apart from attending funerals, is staging mock suicides. He’s the victim, his mother the unwitting spectator. In this endeavour he’s quite imaginative. He hangs himself, slashes his wrists in the bath, lops off a hand with a meat cleaver, shoots himself in the mouth with a handgun, sets himself on fire in the back garden and commits ritual hara kiri with a sharp samurai sword, seemingly disemboweling himself. He also floats face down in the family swimming pool, holding his breath for superhuman amounts of time in an effort to appear dead. These attention-getters are a cry for Mama’s absent love. In lieu of this missing emotion, she showers wealthy gifts on him. For instance, she buys him a flashy sports car to make him feel sporty, but we know Harold: he takes a welder’s torch to it and converts it into a hearse. So, he’s the lonely rich boy with no father, siblings, friends, mother’s love and self-esteem, an unhappy lad who longs for death but hasn’t yet bucked up the courage to top himself.Maude lives in an old abandoned railway carriage with an odd assortment of collected things: stuffed animals, flowers, musical instruments, and a machine that replicates fragrances, or what she calls her odorifics. “Snowfall on 42nd Street,” for instance, is a smell to experience by breathing in air from a canister so named, thus transporting winter in New York to sunny California. Eccentric may be the telling adjective with her.Death brings Harold and Maude together at the funeral of yet another stranger. “Did you know him?” they ask one another, then seem to bond over the surprising answer of “no”, each preferring the concept of death over any thoughts of the departed (whom they didn’t know anyway). In this way death acts as go-between in their friendship, one which will quickly blossom into love for Harold, as Maude is the only sentient and creative being he has ever met. Her motto, or one of them, is to “aim above morality” so as to “not miss out on the fun.” Needless to say, fun has forever been an alien concept and experience in Harold’s life. Education for him was boarding school. Home is prison. Friends don’t exist, nor did love till now.Harold visits Maude’s railway carriage. He loves it. It feels like home, a real home. The objects inside are unique, interesting, personal. They all have stories behind them which Maude, forever happy to talk, generously informs Harold of. He’s fascinated. For the first time he’s interested in something other than death. Naturally, he falls in love with Maude. Age is meaningless, spirit and character everything. Maude is flattered, but keeps things light and platonic. Instead of lovemaking, they do other things together. They uproot a tree from the city and drive it to a forest to replant it where, in Maude’s words, “it can breathe again.” They steal cars and joyride together. They even steal a police motorcycle from a cop and leave the officer standing in their dust. They have a picnic. They eat and drink and talk to the birds. Harold yells like Tarzan and does somersaults. Then, overjoyed, he carries Maude on his back and runs through a field. For the first time in his life he’s alive and conscious of it. Love has rescued and transformed him, which is one of love’s greater attributes. He also plays the banjo, a musical instrument Maude has given to him. And of course they still go to funerals, sitting through the dreary church services and standing in the rain at cemeteries.But things at home are as bad as ever for Harold. In fact, they are getting worse. Mother is worried about Harold. She thinks his suicidal antics have been going too far. It’s one thing to be a wise-aleck teenager with a morbid sense of humour, but another to remain stunted and not face up to certain adult responsibilities. Such as marriage, Mama informs him. To this end a string of computer dates from a dating service parade through their opulent mansion. They all love the building, setting, landscaping, decor, atmosphere. They even pretend to like Harold — the boy who cannot laugh or smile or even speak intelligibly above a mumbled monotone. Cold fish or not, Harold is popular. All the young women profess to be keenly interested in him. That is, until Harold pulls the trigger again with the gun to his head or pulls off some other seemingly deadly prank in their midst.Mother’s patience is shredded. Harold’s weekly visits to a shrink are not going well. The psychiatrist can make no headway because Harold remains clammed up. In desperation, she thinks his Uncle Victor, a military man, can talk him into joining the army. This fails. Harold pretends to be a gung-ho lunatic who wants to shoot, scalp, dismember and eat the enemy. Even for Uncle Victor, a red-white-and-blue racist and jingoist, this is too much. Uncle Victor declares Harold unfit for duty.Harold is a nowhere man, a loser and misfit. Even his put-upon mother is coming to this awful, inconsolable conclusion. But just when all seems lost Harold astonishes everyone by announcing his engagement to Maude. His mother can’t believe it and demands to see her photo. Harold has one, a recent one. His mother nearly faints. The psychiatrist, priest and Uncle Victor are equally appalled. They knew Harold was eccentric, far from normal, but this prank takes the cake. Yet the joke we’re in on and they’re not is that it’s no joke this time. Harold loves Maude, truly loves her, and throughout the course of this magical film we see how and why this could be.Maude loves him too, she tells him. But her love is very democratic, not reserved solely for him. In fact what she loves even more than Harold is life itself. The funerals are a reminder of this for her — a way of remembering all that she has and has experienced. She is happy, content, at peace — all the things Harold isn’t but may become by learning from her.In some fairy tales the frog is transformed into a prince but cannot remain a prince. In the end he returns to his modest lily pad in the pond. So it is in this one too. The great and only love of Harold’s life cannot last because Maude cannot last on Earth. A crisis of life and death happens and Harold is forced to face it. He must choose.It’s an old film (1971) and Cat Stevens sings throughout on the soundtrack. His songs are hippyish and optimistic. He was in the flower power crowd and rode the peace train with his hard-headed woman to a place where all the children could play and have tea with the tillerman. Harold learns to play one of his songs on the banjo. He is not proficient at it, but he pegs away, wanting to learn, to sing and dance, to click his heels. And in the end, this is what he sings as the credits roll by:If you want to sing out, sing outIf you want to be free, be freeCos there’s a million things to beYou know that there are

Review: This movie is one of my all-time favorites. Not everyone shares my enthusiasm, however, because Harold, a young man whose Socialite mother is pushing him to get married, is completely obsessed with staging suicides. The reason for these antics is revealed later in the movie.Harold (Bud Cort) is a loner unable to find anyone to whom he can relate, until he accidentally bumps into Maude (Ruth Gordon), a 79 yr old « free spirit. » Her spontaneous actions and philosophy in life, shaped by her unpleasant past, appeals to Harold and he gradually finds the soulmate for whom he is searching. This obviously horrifies Harold’s mother and family associates.The situations throughout the movie are very funny, enhanced by a great Cat Stevens score.Maude’s philosophy will have a positive appeal to anyone looking at life through jaded lenses.The movie’s ending is emotionally intense but surprisingly satisfying. This movie is considered a « cult classic, » so that should alert you to the fact that not everyone may like its humor. However, I believe it is one of the great films from the early 1970s. If you consider yourself a « free spirit » you will probably like this film.

Review: ist sie da, und ENDE!Harold (Bud Cort), so um die 20 Jahre jung, ist ein merkwürdiger junger Mann. Manchmal glaubt man, er sei noch ein Knabe, er sieht nämlich so aus und so benimmt er sich auch. Schlimm…Und hat sehr eigenartige Hobbys, die uns am Beginn erschrecken. Er insziniert öfter seinen « Tod » mit diversen Theaterrequisiten. So hängt er sich an…, als seine Mutter, Mrs. Chasen (Vivian Pickles) hineinkommt. Sie sieht ihn überhaupt nicht mehr an, sagt nur genervt, er möge endlich DAMIT aufhören.Sie schickt ihn zu seinem Onkel, einem General, der ihm die Armee schmackhaft machen sollte. General Victor Ball (Charles Tyner) ist jedoch ein abschreckendes Beispiel für seine Zwecke und Harold kann sich ganz gut gegen die Idee der beiden wehren. Nach dem Bild auf der Wand, sind wir in der 70. Jahren, so wissen wir, wohin Harold gehen würde.Dann muß Harold zum Psychiater (George Wood), der total versagt. Es könnte komisch sein, wäre der Psychiater ein bisschen klüger und wärmer. So wendet er Psychoanalyse bei einem sehr klugen junegen Mann, der ihn sofort durchschaut. Eine « Schande », fast für die Wissenschaft…Eine Analyse für den Arzt, das wäre besser.Harold liebt Begräbnisse und besucht sie regelmäßig, so, wie die anderen die Partys oder die Filmvorstellungen. Es interessiert ihn nicht, wer der Verstorbene ist/war.Die Familie ist sehr reich (der Vater fehlt natürlich, ist gestorben), so kann sich Harolt locker einen Wagen kaufen, der einmal ein « Leichenwagen » war…Die Mutter ist geschockt, sie würde ihm moderne, schnelle Autos kaufen (und macht das auch). Sie « präsentiert » ihm auch drei Mädchen, weil sie der Meinung ist, Harold sollte heiraten…Uf, wird das spannend.Bei einem von Bergräbnisse trifft Harold eine ältere Frau, eine Dame, Maude (Ruth Gordon) die sehr neugierig zu sein scheint. Sie fragt ihn viel und erzählt ihm auch die Teile ihres Lebens. Sie wird bald 80 Jahre, sieht aber deutlich jünger. Sie ist eine bemerkenswerte Frau, die ihr Leben einfach mit Freude, mit Würde meistert und geniesst!Sie sagt zu Harold: Nein, die Menschen sind nicht tot, sie ziehen sich nur zurück…Und Harold sagt: ich mag Dich, Maude….ich Dich auch, Harold, antwortet sie.Die beiden erleben ganz « spezielle » Tage, sie fahren die Wagen, die sich Maude immer ausleiht. Die Dame ist begeistert von vielen Sachen, sie zeigt peu a peu Harold eine Welt, die er nie gesehen hat…Zwischen den Zeilen erzählt sie auch über die Vergangenheit, über ihr Leben in Wien (noch vor dem ersten Weltkrieg…), von ihrer Aktionen…und die beiden finden zueinander…Die Geschichte ist so perfekt, dass mir hier die Worte fehlen…Die LIEBE kann man hier nicht mit Sätzen erklären, man braucht eine andere Dimension, die man bekommt, wenn man Harold und Maude, Maude und Harold in ihrer gemeinsamen Zeit erlebt…Maude so schön, ihre Augen funklen, ihre Mimik, ein einzigartiges Spiel der Gefühle…Wenn sie lacht, lächelt die Welt…Hal Ashby als Regisseur, sehr gut, der Film ist aus dem Jahr 1971. Ruth Gordon war damals um 75 Jahre JUNG, Bud Cort un 23. Wer jünger war/ist, das wissen wir sofort.Eine Geschichte, die sich tief in unser Unterbewusstsein versteckt, die man nach Jahren wieder neuentdeckt. Und, sie verliert NICHTS. Sie bekommt die wunderbare Patina, die für die Qualität notwendig ist.Und, dann Cat Stevens, er hat die Musik geschrieben. Haben Sie sie je gefragt, wo man das Lied « Where Do the Children Play? » HIER, und natürlich das « If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out ».Man braucht nichts mehr zu schreiben.Wieviel Sterne? Gibt es eine Zahl…unendlich, danke Maude, danke Harold, mit Euch habe ich heute sowohl gelacht wie auch geweint.

Review: This is the only « cult classic » movie I have ever watched. I saw in 30+ years ago and bought it to watch with my sons. It was as pertinent to them now as it was to me when I was their age. It is a movie that in the end will leave you hopeful for the future and loving life.
