Best movie of this year hands down!

Very disappointing...

Touches You

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It does justice to the book by Truman capote of the same name. Audrey Hepburn looks gorgeous and acts really well. The film shows the flawed protagonist beautifully and creates empathy for her. The characters and the story are simply beautiful

This movie is the one you have to see if you consider yourself to be a intellectual human at all. Deeply disturbing in existential way but all wrapped up in romantic scenery, with adorable and unachievable Audrey Hepburn...

This is another of those "classic" movies that are often recommended by critics and by individuals, often making it into lists of best movies of all time. I think I must be one of only a few of my age (and I was alive when this movie was made) who hadn't seen BaT until very recently.Look, it might have been a good movie in its day and some people might have found it amusing and entertaining then or now. I'm afraid I'm not one of them.Yes, Audrey was lovely in a ditsy sort of way and George Peppard was quite OK in the role of Fred in a handsome kind of way. But the story, if there ever really was one, is now terribly dated and the movie must have been pretty damned light weight, even in 1961.As I've noted with other movies from many years ago, one familiar and then original piece of music, in this case "Moon River" does not make a movie and I found myself dreading its coming back as it did time and again throughout the overly long minutes that this movie runs.Breakfast at Tiffany's is trivial and unimportant cinema at best and boring and annoying at worst. I won't be watching it again.

Who is this dolled up beauty in this early 1960's New York scene? Is she the Manhattan socialite and model Holly Golightly? Or the lost and confused southern grifter, Lula Mae Barnes? In the span of two hours, we don't really know what of who Audrey Hepburn's character truly is, but we what we know for sure is that she finds solace inside the confines of Tiffany's. To her, a guy is a dime a dozen but diamonds are forever.Breakfast at Tiffany's might seem by today's standards to be a superficial exercise in the culture of the ultra rich, but in 1961, this was essentially an American fairy tale, and to many, it still is. The luxury, the fashion, the beautiful people, the wild parties.. and all with none of the expenses. It's a caviar covered, golden encrusted piece of bliss. Also, if that weren't enough, it's a classic love story. Hepburn is of Hollywood legend for this film alone. She is beautiful, but more than that, she is effortlessly graceful and carefree. She loves the simplest pleasures in life despite being such a material girl. She even calls her feline companion simply "Cat". I mean, that's just plain adorable.What hinders this movie is the obvious elephant in the room. Mickey Rooney's Asian character. Yes, it was racist and unnecessary. Other than being a punching bag for comic relief, there isn't anything that the character is useful for.
