Breakfast at Tiffany’s is about a quirky New York socialite, Holly Golightly, who befriends her new neighbor Paul Varjak. Holly’s lifestyle is centered around gaining money fast and having fun. Intrigued by this impractical behavior Paul falls head over heels for her. They spend a day together taking turns having experiences they’ve never had before, from taking a walk in the morning to stealing from a convenience store. Varjak is certain that this means she had fallen for him too, but then she reveals that she plans to move to Brazil to be with a rich man. Varjak is appalled and argues with her about it and storms out. After considering her choices, Holly chases him in the rain and kisses him.

This movie was really peculiar but quite entertaining. Being the fact that it was made in the 60’s, there’s some terminology and just generally odd actions that require some precursor knowledge of the era. An odd thing in the movie is the portrayal of Asian Americans. Mr. Yunioshi, Holly’s neighbor, is played by Mickey Rooney, but in an incredibly offensive way. They use stereotypes to create this comical character that really doesn’t fit into the movie being as there is no other twisted humor throughout the film. In addition, the beginning of the movie is fast paced and a bit of a challenge to keep up with without subtitles. Regardless of the rocky start, I found this to be a sweet entertaining film. Audrey Hepburn plays her role of Holly Golightly beautifully, giving the character a outgoing and quirky yet deep personality.
