The 1950 film HarveyThe legendary stars Jimmy Stewartit should be a lot ahead of time. Duis is the one who talks about mental illness. A film that places the value of barrels above social expectations. It’s a cute, funny movie with an innocence rarely seen in theaters today. Hollywood has tried to replicate the success of the news, even rolling remakes of the film, but the magic remains elusive. Not bad for a story about a man and his 6 ft 3½-in invisible white rabbit friend, the titular Harvey. Still the invisible rabbit? forks Pooka, in fact, is a friendly but destructive character from Celtic training.

Harvey, of course, can’t be seen, but that doesn’t stop him from taking Elwood as a charming and genuine pal. his sister Veta (Josephine Hulland myrtle granddaughter Mae (Victory of the horns) are not, however, accepted in such a way as to confuse the social outcasts because of their association with Elwood. In an attempt to bring respect back to the family, Veta insists that Elwood be admitted to a mental hospital for “treatment”. He allows himself to see Harvey from time to time, which leads to a comical commitment.
When the error was discovered, Veta and the head of the hospital, Dr.Cecil Kelaway) searching for Elwood, who was found near the bar. Back at the hospital, Elwood is asked how he met Harvey, and he explains that he met him outside a bar as a drunken friend walked up to Elwood’s taxi. They hit it off and soon gathered together at the chains to socialize and listen to people’s hopes and dreams. However, Elwood agrees to the injection of the serum that he wants to stop him from seeing Harvey. But before the infusion, Veta asks Elwood to release the driver of the car, who was caught with Elwood’s favor. Veta warns that many will be forced into the hospital for the same injection and the like, Elwood will become “a perfectly normal person, and you know what stinks are.“ Realizing that the injection will dramatically change his brother’s kind and gentle attitude, he calls her back, and everyone returns home: Veta, Myrtle Mae, Elwood and Harvey.
Jimmy Stewart is what makes ‘Harvey’ a Classic
What makes? Harvey so effective in his picture of Stewart’s mental health, he reports. Stewart was the proverbial unicorn among actors who effortlessly played each character. It’s almost impossible not to like Stewart, where Elwood works. It is easy to side with Stewart, and there is no tendency to believe in the kind, warm nature of Elwood in turn. He makes a character so full of life that he can lose the hint of what makes him so special and completely disturbing. Whether Harvey actually is or not is irrelevant. The very fact that the creature believes it to exist has different qualities, questions, and deep embraces. The film celebrates the acceptance of man as a winning quality, whereas other films might make a social norm.
Many attempts have been made to resurrect the magic of Harvey

‘Harvey’ is more important than ever
Obviously, the original 1950’s Harvey It proved to be the definitive version of the story, and its message is more relevant today than ever. Mental health has never been more openly discussed. Embracing who you are and the things that define you is a mantra repeated everywhere in today’s world. Harvey and he speaks to them more. Stewart Elwood still has a lot to teach us, especially when it comes to treating others. “‘You must be in this world, oh so wise, or oh so nice.‘Well, for years I was clever. I recommend it to you. although I. In a world where everyone has an opinion about everything, where celebrities and WebMD experts are under the radar, where differences of opinion are lambasted and rebutted with the thinnest of things said, those words are spoken by a man who is his friend. an invisible rabbit, betraying a wisdom that extends far beyond the limits of film. They are words that should be heeded by everyone, from social conformists to those scattered with greed that once landed them in a mental hospital. The world needs its rules, and learns its crowd. And it wouldn’t hurt to copy another pearl of wisdom from Elwood: “I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whoever I am.”
