In an essay on echeat.com, the author describes that the film entitled “Harold and Maude” is a film entirely about freedom. “The point of this movie is, be free with yourself, to try to show a little humor, and to poke fun at some of the things in our society that needs poking.” I agree with this because Harold definitely shows a side of himself where he does all of these random things and he does not really care whether people thinks he is weird or anything like that. Of course he never had any friends at all, except for Maude, but he really did not let it hurt him at all. If people just be free-minded, they may not have so many friends, but the friends that they do have will probably be all they need as friends. I, personally, try to be as free-minded as I possibly can. Although I have very few true friends that I know almost every little detail about that I can count on whenever I’m in need of assistance, it doesn’t really matter to me. The friends that I do have are my true friends that I will keep until my dying day. Harold is very happy to have Maude for a friend and doesn’t even let the fact that Maude is eighty and Harold is only around his teenage years get to him. Of course Harold was sad about never having any friends at first, but that was only before he met Maude. He is even reluctant to try to meet anyone else because he thinks Maude is all he needs. Whenever Harold’s mother tries to get him a date, he would fake a suicide to scare any girls away. If people are able to keep a free mind, it may not be the greatest experience in the world, but it will definitely have a positive impact as time passes by.
