I don't know what Shoot The Hostage is watching but I didn't see that Career Opportunities movie. Maybe I'll watch it later. Nope, instead I was busy snoozing away.My 28 days started this morning with watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've seen it a couple times before and never really understood why it is such a classic. It centers around Holly Golightly, a young society girl living in New York that is only interested in meeting a rich guy and marrying him. The new handsome upstairs neighbor starts a friendly relationship with Holly and they fall in love, eventually. A bunch of other stuff happens in between like Holly Golightly's real past, her connection to a druglord, and a lot of smoking in practically every scene.
While the whole movie has a ridiculously stylish Audrey Hepburn there are a few things that upstage her. The cat for one was the only thing I felt bad for. There was a scene where she shoos her cat out of the cab onto the cold heartless streets of New York to set it free. The cat is drenched in the rain looking pathetic and sad. Heartbreaking I tell you. The only other thing I felt bad for in a "OMG how RACIST!" way was Mickey Rooney's character Mr. Yunioshi. Because it must have been really hard to get a real Japanese character to play the comic relief guy. Oh 1960's racism.
While being a classic romance based on a novella by Truman Capote I give the movie an "Eh..." If a movie makes me angry because the girl thinks happiness can only come by being married to a rich guy then it doesn't deserve a higher rating.
