Harold and Maude?

Strange but great movie.

I often think of the scene where Harold and Maude sit by the shore (Harold notices her concentration camp tattoo) and Maude tells the story of Alfred Dreyfuss being imprisoned on Devil’s Island, and of his being encouraged by the glorious birds flying in freedom over the cliffs. Years later, he found that they had only been seagulls. But, for Maude, they will always be glorious birds.

Quirky flick, but very life affirming. Even Maude’s suicide (spoiler!) shows the pain and grief that we cause when we give up on life. Never give up on life.
