Review of Harvey

Harvey (1950)
10/10
The Most Human Film Ever Made
21 April 2000
Warning: Spoilers
A truly significant film, this is. Normally I would just vote for it on the IMDB vote thingy there, but I felt the need to comment on this film because I feel that many people just don't get it. There are minor spoilers ahead, just to warn you. Elwood may be an alcoholic, but that really is just there as a cover. Elwood believes that Harvey is real because Harvey IS real. Everyone else in the plot is just too absorbed in their daily work and self-awareness to notice. Elwood has finally let go of all of his major gripes and pretentions about life, and has simply allowed himself to be pleasant. A few of the other characters learn how to be pleasant, too. Dr. Chumley, Mr. Meagles. Sure, they all seem to be insane, or at least a little off, but isn't this how we always see people who are different from us? Be pleasant. This is a lesson that everyone needs to take to heart. Slow down, enjoy yourself. You just may see that rabbit near the phone pole yourself.
