  Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic, and Hepburn is amazing in the lead role. I had avoided this film for sometime, but the timing was right and I'm happy to say, the hype is correct. Strong filmmaking and character film, they just don't make films like this anymore. Blake Edwards is known for his Pink Panther films, but for the film buffs, he has a wide range of films that are much better and Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of them. The film is one unconventional beat to the next and that's why the film is so much fun to watch. I'm now interested to find the book to compare, as the author himself was a socialite. The only blip, and this is only with hindsight bias opinion. The Rooney character is horrible, and a prime example of white washing. Tough to watch, and not funny. I wouldn't condemn the film, but it stands as the example of cringe worthy racism and showcases a period in time. 28/02/2020

  This iconic Hepburn role is equal parts charming and biting. You can't help but immediately notice the shallow facade Hepburn's protagonist hides behind. As a result, you find yourself rooting for change. The colors and set pieces are beautiful, but it is, however, quite aware of its own Holywood mystique, the outcome of which is formulaic. Yet what it adopts in self-aware Hollywood-ism, Breakfast at Tiffany's makes up for in execution.

  A favorite movie of mine since high school. I do love the idea of enjoying a place for its character and not necessarily for purchasing its wares. My Tiffany's is White Castle, though I still do purchase plenty of their delicious, miniature wares and frequent their Valentine's Day extravaganzas. The dialogue is naughty yet oblique enough for its time; Cat is cute and sad; George Peppard is dreamy as all-get-out; and Henry Mancini's iconic score is playful and mischievous. I prefer Marilyn Monroe to Audrey Hepburn in general, but I can't deny that the latter brings a level of sophistication and class that the former wouldn't have if she had been cast as Holly Golightly, which Truman Capote wanted her to be. Seeing this again for the first time in a long time though has opened my eyes to an unsettling revelation: Holly Golightly is probably the first [gasp] Manic Pixie Dreamgirl! I've grown weary of the can't-be-tamed caged bird trope that has become a cliche pop culture identity with Karen Gillan's Amy Pond on "Doctor Who" and various other "too fucked up to love me" girls. I used to identify strongly with the winsome and mercurial Holly Golightly and she's still a rather complex and memorable character, but perhaps my impatience for the literary/filmic type has retroactively soured her for me.

  Audrey Hepburn at her finest. Holly is me.
