"I sometimes tell people I'm a laugh slut.

I laugh easily. You make a pun? I laugh.

You tell a long-winded story that ends in an underwhelming punchline? I tip my
hat to you, sir.

But a unique satisfaction comes when you laugh at something terrible. You know
you shouldn't. But that just makes it funnier.

Once in a while, a creator manages to penetrate your defenses and finds you
lacking. You're surprised.

Your political-correctness firewall got trojan-horsed.

I love that feeling.

While the official title Harold and Maude manages to preserve the mystery,
the title in Portuguese (Teach Me How to Live) affirms this film as the
incredibly positive, joyous, and life-affirming artwork it is."

Share and enjoy,
