Tiffany's calms me down right away


“Tiffany’s, calms me down right away”

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 only  chance anybody’s got for real happiness  you 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.

  1. I love this movie & you're the whole reason why I watched it. Haha. I've always liked Tiffany & Co. jewelry, but when you expressed your liking for the movie, I decided to watch it. I really like the quote that Paul tells Holly at the end of the movie. I like it because he is straight forward with her & it's advice anyone can relate to.

  2. Ahhhh! I love this movie and I can't thank you enough for convincing me to watch it! It's the perfect love story and I probably will watch it a million more times. I love how the entire movie it's almost like they aren't going to be together but in the end it all works out for the best!

  3. I previously thought this movie was just some story about a bunch of rich girls getting together and doing rich people things. Man was I wrong. The story sounds great if you're in the mood for lovey-dovey mushy stuff. If I'm ever in need of a romantic movie I'll definitely check this out.
