Oh the joy of cuddling with your mother on the couch and
popping in a little blast from the past. If you have not had the chance I do recommend
it. It makes for awesome therapy. Now although this movie made my mom feel a
little old, we had fun comparing the generations. This movie is about a group
of teens in high school looking for love, getting in trouble and yes I do dare
to say it, smoke pot. The movie starts out with Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason
Leigh) a young innocent girl asking her older, sexually active friend, Linda
Barrett (Phoebe Cates.) advice on guys and how to make a move on her new crush Mark
Ratner (Brian Backer), but making a move on him doesn’t come so easily. She eventually
throws herself at him making it clear what she wanted. Sooner or later she
hooks up … with mark? (gasp!!!!) no with marks best friend who is more assured,
Mike Damone (Robert Romanus). Meanwhile i know ya’ll are all curious about the
pot smoking that goes on in this film so ill fill you in on the pot head character,
Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn)spicoli who we all love is a stoned surfer dude who
goes through life like it’s a breeze or puff? Now my favorite part of this
movie would be the continuing quarrel with the history teacher at ridgemont
high,Mr. Hand (Ray Walston). If enjoy doing those little things to get your
teacher put this movie in and take notes from spicoli. Its a classic movie and worth the watch i promise. :)
I have to say I wanted to save this blog topic for last just
because it is my absolute favorite movie ever. But I just could not wait! I love
the style and the fashion. this movie is very classy and elegant, with still
some if you will “riskay” hidden aspects. What’s the best part of the film? Audrey
Hepburn! And of course George Pappard who is very handsome.
While new movies are
being produced I prefer to relive the past in old classic films such as breakfast
at tiffany’s . Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) first appears on screens in
1961. Audrey plays a clueless, naïve girl who lives her life without a care.
When Holly is awaken by the new tenant Paul Varjak, (George Pappard) the
writer, buzzing her apartment. He asks to use her phone and once in her
apartment they have small talk and you get to know a little about how Holly
lives her life. She tells him about her love for the jewelry story tiffany’s
and that alone tells you that she has expensive taste. You see in this scene
also that she has lived in her apartment for a year but not settled down.
Throughout the movie she makes friends with Paul and he grows fond of her
quirky and oblivious ways. One day the woman Paul is secretly involved with
tells him that she is afraid that she was followed. He quickly goes out to
investigate and meets a guy from Holly’s past. He tells Paul Where Holly is
from and reveals himself as Holly’s husband Doc. and explains to Paul that he
is here to bring Holly back home to Texas. At this point Paul discovers his own
fondness of Holly and how much he would miss her. Holly tells Doc. That she is
not going back and that she is a different person than she was before. After
that was all said and done upset, Holly orders Paul to take her out and not
bring her back until she is good and drunk. Paul helps holly back to her
apartment, where she drunkenly admits her plans to marry a rich man for his
money and Paul realizes what it is exactly that she wants; money and he is
short of it. Holly gets arrested for obliviously passing codes for sally tomato
a mafia guy in prison that ran drug deals. Holly spends the night in jail and
released on bail. Paul picks her up with her cat, and gives her a letter that
was at her door that tells her how her
fiancé does not want a wife with bad behavior and a prison record and must end
their relationship. Holly tries to go to him anyway. Paul confesses to Holly
that he is in love with her and she tells him that no one is going to put her
in a cage and tries to run away from love. She tells the driver to pull over
and throws cat out into the rain and leaves him. Paul tells the driver to pull
over again and tells holly “ your chicken you’ve got no guts you’re afraid to
stick out your chin and say ok life’s a fact people do fall in love people do
belong to each other because that’s the onlychance anybody’s got for real happinessyou call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing and your terrified
somebody’s going to stick you in a cage, well baby your already in that cage
you built it yourself …its wherever you go because no matter where you run you
just end up running into yourself. ” he tosses a ring engraved from tiffany’s
into her lap. She runs after him and he helps her find the cat and they look
into each other’s eyes and like any good romantic movie kiss in the rain.
