Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:
HAROLD AND MAUDE
- When am I most my real true self? How do I recognize my true self?
- What is standing in the way of me being free and being myself?
- What or who tries to influence me to be other than myself?
- Who is filling in my "spaces"?
- When have I been willing to break conventions and the norms to do something different?
- How many times have I committed suicide by not being myself? When have I let others shut me down?
- What's the scariest part of being myself?
- How have I protected myself from perceived danger?
- What was the impetus that inspired me to be truly myself? That inspired me to want to be like everybody else?
- What is my motivation for looking outside of myself to find out who I should be?
- What have been the grand losses in my life, and how have I dealt with them?
- When have I experienced a major significant loss in my life that was totally unexpected?
