Movie 2005.04.10 - Harvey Krumpet

A depressing but touching story of Harvey Krumpet, who is originally Harvek Milos Krumpetzki from Poland.

Harvey doesn't seem to run out of bad luck:

• He has Tourette Syndrome since he was young. He twitches involuntarily, and likes to touch people on their noses.
• He Mom got mentally sick, probably due to exposure to lead while working in the mines.
• Their house burned down while he was out doing some deep thinking. His Mom and Dad was found frozen on a bicycle - nude.
• He touched a colleague on the nose, and got knocked out in return, requiring a metal plate inside his head to protect his skull.
• While working as a golf-ball picker, he got struck by lightning, magnetizing his skull plate in the process.
• He got testicular cancer, so one of them has to be cut off.
• He managed to marry the nurse from cancer ward, and adopted a thalidomide baby girl, but his wife died of a brain clot on his birthday.

Not everything is doom and gloom though. Locked away in a retirement house, and slowly drifting into senility, Harvey once contemplated suicide, but later decided he has more living to do. He goes back to being a nudist and spend his days waiting at the mock bus stop inside the compound. As he said, "Life is like a cigarette. Smoke it to the butt."
