I do't know-- I just adored Harold and Maude. I believed at least the emotional reality of the story, if not the "real" reality. Also, it was a play, too, and I adore that as well.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Because if she was born in 1890, and left Austria in 1945 (or thereabouts), she would have a thick accent.
Well, not necessarily. Some people can lose their accents quickly. Other people never lose their accents. I think it depends on how much you want to lose it, how much of a mimic you are.

I do have to tell you, LJ, that my best friend has always told me I see the potential in things rather than the reality... so if the moviemakers were trying, I was probably OK, evewn if they didn't succeed.

I love the movie. I haven't watched it in years (husband has a mild dislike based totally on people telling him he looked like Harold when he was younger, and which he really needs to get over FOR MY SAKE), but used to watch it on an almost-daily basis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, on a similar nit-picky note, in In Good Company, I was thrown off when his divorce went through immediately like that -- in New York, I'm pretty sure you have to be legally separated for a year first.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Jesse, you're right, for a divorce on regular grounds.

There was nothing unusual in the case of the movie, I don't think. Ah well. I can let it go.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I also adore Harold and Maude, though I wonder if I might think it was too sentimental if I were to see it for the first time now. The accent thing never occurred to me, and I was totally willing to buy that they developed such a close relationship over such a short period of time.

Jesse, if it really bothers you, maybe a year did pass. I mean, it takes some time to get a second mortgage, too, I'd imagine.
