Another Classic I Haven't Seen Yet #2 - Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Running away from your past never looked so glamorous |
There was something
charming about this movie even though the source material was supposed to be a
cautionary tale. Hepburn is amazing in this, the cast is wonderful all around
aside from Mickey Rooney’s very racist portrayal of a Japanese man. It’s very
obvious that George…I mean ‘Fred’…was a stand in for Capote. I sort of wish this
movie was made nowadays, where Holly, the small fish in a big pond learns how to
stand on her own two feet, while her obviously gay best friend learns how to
accept himself for who he is. Also…try not to get Moon River stuck in your head
after watching this.
