Harold and Maude 1971 123movies

Watch: Harold and Maude 1971 123movies, Full Movie Online – Young adult Harold Chasen, solitary and friendless by choice, is obsessed with death, this fascination manifesting itself in he staging his own fake suicides, driving a hearse and attending funerals, even of people he doesn’t know, all to the chagrin of his exasperated wealthy mother with whom he lives. Mrs. Chasen is determined for Harold to be “normal”, including her sending him into therapy to deal with his issues and finding him a girlfriend through a computer dating service. It is at a series of funerals that Harold meets Maude, on the cusp of her eightieth birthday, she who too attends funerals of strangers. Unlike Harold, Maude is obsessed with life – her own life to be more precise – she does whatever she wants to please herself, damned what others may think or how they may be affected. Since she can’t take material possessions with her, she is more interested in experiences, with whatever material possessions she has – often “borrowed” without asking – only to further those experiences. Their friendship is initially based on how the other can further their own priority. But as Maude shows Harold how to truly live, Harold falls in love with her. Their relationship, already limited in time by the sheer math, is curtailed even more as Maude shows him only not how to live well, but die well..
Plot: The young Harold lives in his own world of suicide-attempts and funeral visits to avoid the misery of his current family and home environment. Harold meets an 80-year-old woman named Maude who also lives in her own world yet one in which she is having the time of her life. When the two opposites meet they realize that their differences don’t matter and they become best friends and love each other.

Good stuff but definitely not for everyone
Hal Ashby’s “Harold and Maude” neatly fits into the category of cult classic, chiefly by virtue of its subject matter. In brief, the film concerns a morbid young man who befriends a free-spirited septuagenarian. Together they make about as unlikely a pair as you’ll ever see in a romantic comedy.

The stars of the film, Bud Cort & Ruth Gordon, play their parts with relish. Furthermore, the two have excellent chemistry together. Besides the stars, Vivian Pickles, as Harold’s overbearing mother, and Charles Tyner, as his uncle Victor, stand out in support.

Ashby’s direction is well-handled and the film sports some nice visuals. However, the film’s best element on the technical side is arguably the soundtrack. The songs of Cat Stevens are heard throughout and they truly capture and enhance the spirit of the film.

In the end, “Harold and Maude” is certainly a unique little film and one that seems way ahead of its time. It’s the sort of quirky movie that would be right at home next to some of today’s independent films. Given it’s eccentricities, I’m unsurprised that it was a commercial flop at the time of its release but, thankfully, it has gained in stature over time.

This movie is life
From horrible to beautiful and everything in between. Whenever I feel down I watch this film and it reminds me that life is so, so much more than the narrow confines that I live in. For those of you who are turned off by the January December romance, that’s exactly what the film is doing, forcing you to accept an insane premise, so all you can do is laugh. Cat Stevens’s music is timeless, and one of the rare times that the soundtrack perfectly matches the film. I want to think that Harold would be a little nicer to his mother after the end credits roll. In another fifty years this will still be an excellent film.
