I've never been one to cry because of a movie but there are just some that have the ability to make me burst into tears with little effort. For example, the movie Harold and Maude. It was a movie made in 1971 about a young man named Harold who has this obsession with death and always put himself in these fake suicide setups. Then one day he goes to a funeral of a man he doesn't know and ends up meeting a 79 year old woman by the name of Maude who's high on life. At first, Harold doesn't know what to think of the strange woman but begins seeing her on a regular basis after that day. Harold's mother knows that he's "special" and starts setting him up with various women on a dating base. After she sees that he shows no interest in any of them she begins to give up and ship him out with his uncle in the military. Neither Harold nor Maude want to see him go, so they work up a plan to keep him from being able to join. The movie follows them as they go through many adventures and find true love and how it knows no boundaries. Also, this movie showed me the amazing music artist Cat Stevens. The soundtrack actually is only made up of his songs which may seem strange, but I truly believe that only an artist such as he would've been able to pull off such a thing considering all the diverse stylings he does. And even though this is a movie talk and not a book talk, I would still give it a 10/10 on my scale.
