Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Always wanted to watch this but never got around to it but I've finally gotten to it. ((((:
Great way to alleviate all
that stress. :D
Just so you know, Tiffany's = Tiffany & Co. (:
And breakfast doesn't literally mean the intake of FOOD.
Also, the genre of this show: Comedy, Romance, Drama.
Yes it's a comedy too, rather hilarious I must say.
This film was loosely based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote.
And this is the plot:
The novella tells the story of a one-year (Autumn 1943 to Autumn 1944) friendship between the main character, Holiday ("Holly") Golightly and an unnamed narrator. The two are both tenants in a brownstone apartment in Manhattan's
Upper East Side. Holly Golightly (age 19-20) is a Texas-born country hick turned New York café society girl, who makes her living coaxing dollars off of rich, older gentlemen. The narrator, who lives in the flat above her, is an aspiring writer. Golightly, who likes to stun people with carefully selected tidbits from her personal life or her outspoken viewpoint on various topics, slowly reveals herself to the narrator. In the end, however, Golightly fears that she will never know what is really hers until after she has thrown it away; she subsequently abandons her friend to seek her ever elusive goal of finding both riches and a place to call home.
The movie did not conclude the way the novel did.
It concluded, with a predictable happy ending of course.
Like DUH! HAHAHA.
Anyhow, Audrey Hepburn sang this song, "Moon River", which totally took my breath away.
Not because of her singing skills. It's the song itself that reminded me of how is it like to feel really,
calm.
I can totally visualize the serenity immediately. (:
I bet you guys don't know what this song is BUT would realize it after you've listened.
So take a listen
HERE.
Lyrics:
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
Another thing was, a scene in this movie was adapted by Gossip Girl, where Holly (Audrey Hepburn) was searching for her cat after throwing it out to the streets from a taxi, in the heavy rain, all drenched.
Here it is:

That's Blair, and she was wearing the same coat and hairstyle as Hepburn in the show. Besides that, the setting for both Gossip Girl & Breakfast at Tiffany's are in the Upper East Side, Manhattan.
In the TV series Gossip Girl the instrumental of "Moon River" plays when Blair Waldorf dreams of being in Serena Van Der Woodsen's shadow. The instrumental plays again when Blair finds out Serena is the model that replaced her for the photo shoot of her mother's clothing line.
Anyway, I totally love Hepburn's role in the movie. (:
She portrayed it very well too.
LOVE IT TTM! (((:
Okay this is getting a lil lengthy.
WHAT TO DO?
WHO ASK ME TO BE SO VINTAGE. :x

Oh yes, before this slips my mind,
SHE IS DAMN F*ING SKINNY!

SEE!!!! Even skinner than me!!!!!
Almost like malnutrition. Her bones are protruding out.
Okay this is sounding sick. (:
OKAY THAT'S ALL FOLKS.
LAST PAPER ON FRIDAY.
AFTER THAT I'M GOING CRAZY.
IN FACT, I'M QUITE CRAZY NOW.
I'VE GOT MY OPTIMISM BACK TOO. (:
