Breakfast At Tiffany's [15]

Holly’s got her head in the clouds, she’s so easily liked because she’s so adorable. She’s a sort of escort, she lets men give her money for her company but when it comes to the bedroom she always locks them out. Holly is quirky, childish, stubborn and a big dreamer. She wishes for a life of leisure and wealth, and to live in a place like Tiffany’s where “nothing bad could happen to you.”

This is a charming movie, I’ve already seen it twice today, once I finished I wanted to watch it all over again. Holly is a total doll, a few think she’s a phony, but the girls got heart. Her only problem is that she won’t give it away, her hear that is, real relationships frighten her. She won’t be “put in a cage” or be tied down. She puts up this front to make others believe that she really doesn’t love them back and that she doesn’t believe in love in the first place. She runs from those who cherish her, scared that she won’t be able to run around anymore and dream. She’s lost sense of reality, she’s tangled up in money and parties, even lost herself somehow, she doesn’t know who she is.

I love how most of the classics have either one song they play over and over or an artist. The score for this movie is “Moon River” and it just sounds so darling when Audrey Hepburn sings it herself. The cinematography is very classy, from the dresses/suits everyone wears to the apartment rooms and the beautiful shots of New York.

Holly’s past catches up to her, she’ll do anything to be able to keep running. She’s seeking out the wealthiest men so she can get married and take care of her dear brother, the only person she seems to love back. Her new neighbor, Paul, is an escort himself and he slowly starts falling for her. She crawls into his window at times of need and calls he doesn’t mind helping her out. After Holly finds out of her brother’s death (he was in the military) she’s a total mess and now more eager than ever to get away and live a life of wealth. She’s ready to leave but Paul won’t have it , she breaks down to explain that people don’t belong to each other, she doesn’t want to be caged and that she doesn’t know who she is anymore.
