Harvey

         Who is really the happiest?  Social acceptance over enjoyment? Reassurance, peace, and excitement fill the character Elwood after he creates an imaginary friend.  This imaginary friend turns out to be a six-foot-three and half-inch rabbit named Harvey. Society has difficulty understanding and accepting Elwood’s friend, because it isn’t socially acceptable and it may not be good for their “image.” Through creating the character Harvey, the audience understands it does not matter what we have to do to be fully happy in this life. This became evident when Elwood, said, "Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it."  This shows Elwood has truly found inner peace, and he enjoys all areas of his life.  Proving that through a good attitude and a light heart one can enjoy their life to the fullest.

         I really enjoyed James Stewart’s character.  He had me looking for that invisible rabbit the entire film. He was very successful in his roll, convincing the audience how happy and inviting he was. Good film.
