  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.

  Erstwhile Hollywood is clean as their Bollywood counterparts from that era. The language, styling of the actors also the music was soothing. Even NYC during that period looked nice and clean and not thickly populated. The actors used to have their Marlboro's and Bourbon with so much panache that it makes the current crop resemble cowards. And surprisingly enough the story is still very apt even in the year 2013.
