Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Holly Golightly is a superficial, ambitious, money-orientated New York socialite. Paul Varjak, a writer, moves into her building and they become friends. Ultimately Paul falls in love with Holly but will she reciprocate or follow her ambitions?Great movie, with Audrey Hepburn in her definitive role. Warm, sweet and quite emotional with some iconic moments. My favourite would be Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" while sitting on the fire escape.

Breakfast at Tiffany's tells story about Holly Golightly,played by It Girl of 60s - Audrey Hepburn who becomes interested in life of her new neighbour Paul Varjak,played by George Peppard. This masterpiece was based on Capote's novel and directed by Blake Edwards,it was first collaboration between Blake and Audrey.Movie is perfect for anyone who loves Manhattan,as well romantic comedies.The most interesting thing might be the connection between Holly and Paul as well how they met.This movie shows that it doesn't have to be meet cute to draw audience's attention and to create great romance.Great chemistry is all that takes.For me,most annoying character is Mr Junioshi.He claims to be an artist and the only thing he does is complaining on Holly because of noise and parties which breaks his sleep routine.Most notable scene is Paul watching Holly while she sings Moon River.What I most like about Holly's personality is that she calls herself "wild" and free spirit but she's actually different.And I think that ot was her destiny to meet Paul,because he made her realize what kind of person she really is and that she actually has someone to rely on,even if it's just him.

I can't believe I never got around to seeing this classic film until now. I really loved watching this movie, it got a lot of things right. The actors and the fine performances they give is what makes this film work, what makes it such a classic. Audrey Hepburn was such a fine actress and she was cast perfectly as Holly, the lead character. She gave a brilliant performance as the gold digging socialite who begins to develop feelings for her new neighbor, Paul. George Peppard plays Paul, otherwise known as Fred. He moves into the apartment next door and begins to develop a connection with Holly. I loved Peppard as Paul, he fit the character in every way. He had the perfect image, the way he said things, just everything about him seemed to fit his character perfectly. The movie has some comedic moments here and there, but it really excels in the romance between these two faulted characters. I just had a grand time while watching this film, it's tons of fun and I definitely recommend this classic to anyone who loves old classic Hollywood movies. 8/10 for Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Breakfast at Tiffanys is the perfect coming of age tale. Timeless, sad, touching, heartbreaking, infuriating and beautiful... For the most of the film it would be strange to find Audrey's character likable at all, but she's a real phony, if you know what I mean. This is brought up quite often in the film. She's been without, so now she wants it all, and believes that's the way to true happiness... but slowly as every door leading to false happiness closes, she must surely face the truth... that wherever you go, no matter what you own, the longing for something real cannot be long hidden. To be found, is merely to accept your sense of being lost, and there you are... appreciating what you have, and who has you. This movie touches me so very deeply, makes me cry every time, heck it makes me cry writing about it... so good... such great dialog and characters. I do feel the landlord is racist and a mistake, very dated, the only thing that doesn't work anymore... which is likely partly why the film only has a 7.7 on IMDb, but overlooking that, and getting to the end you discover just how meaningful, maybe even important this film is... So many of us give up the adventure of our lives for a little security, and thus stop living at all... and sometimes we all just need a little reminder, and Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of these special little reminders. A shame Audrey died in 1993, she's one of those people I would so much love to talk to.And Moon River, like lightning in a bottle...
