I remember around the time I saw <i>Harold and Maude,</i> (probably not when it first came out), I was a youth and there were a bunch of movies about old people. I think <i>Harry and Tonto</i> was one, but I can't remember the others. One of them was a movie about old people falling in love or, at least, rediscovering love despite all the other problems in their lives, many of them caused by younger people. <br /><br />Anyway, as a youth I remember thinking, wow, old people have complicated, interesting lives too. The movie was done in such a way that I rose above my normal disgust of old people, and while I'm not sure whether there were sex scenes, there must have been love scenes. I remember being very surprised that I was moved by these older people as much as I would have been if they had been younger—more so in some ways because of their depth.James Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871338738388893364noreply@blogger.com
