Breakfast at Tiffanys Essay

The movie begins fittingly with the lead Holly Goligthly having breakfast outside of Tiffanys in New York and already that sets the tone of the whole movie. Shes dressed in a stern Givenchy dress and her hair resembles something of a pineapple. She is looking in to the store and we train her perfectly polished reflection in the well-polished windows. Appropriately I say, since the form of address says just that, Breakfast at Tiffanys. Even though is seems unimportant, just a title, Tiffanys plays a central role throughout the movie only if non just as a location for several of the snaps.It represents e trulything Holly wants and doesnt seem able to get or allow herself to want. Holly as a char turner is a real intriguing creature. Her quirkiness and seemingly free-spirit leaves me deficient to emulate her, doing my hair and make-up in the similar way and act like she does. Its not until the middle of the movie when I achieve that under that perfect exterior lays a very brok en and wiped out(p) spirit. The ideas of the perfect and glamorous feel of Tiffanys are nouns Holly tries to apply to herself.The presumed shallowness of the sales people and the expensive merchandise makes me understand that for her, money and the play identity of Holly Golightly, controls her life. It leaves me with a sense of longing to understand this complex nature and question was lies beneath the surface. It chokes clearer throughout the tear that even though it seems very shallow there is a compassion and depth to Holly and so alike to Tiffanys. One of my favorite scenes that clearly represent this is when Holly and Paul Varjak spend a day doing things they have never done before and end up at Tiffanys.Due to the censorship of the time, the movie was released in 1961, it is never outspoken, and definitely clear what lengths both Holly and Paul, will go for money. In this scene money is not the focus, and the ring from the Kracker Jacks becomes a representation of the valet in not only Holly only when Tiffanys and even the city of New York. each decision the director has made in this film is very carefully selected, and even though the lucubrate are very subtle at first glance, they all support the idea I believe the film is trying to portray. New York as the big, glamorous city where wealth and beauty seem like a commodity.The belief that anybody butt joint pretend to be what they want, or in Hollys case, hide what they are. Every detail becomes important. Holly dressing almost exclusively in black but when she thinks she has finally gotten what she want, knits a red dress. Her empty apartment that in that same moment gets decorated and the only reason we know its not real is because the cat still has no name. There are so many different layers to this film and I guess that is why it has become a classic. Every time you see it you discover new details or change your mind about the mysterious and ever changing Holly.
