Breakfast at Tiffanys Essay

The fill begins appropriately with the lead Holly Goligthly having breakfast outside of Tiffanys in New York and already that sets the tone of the only movie. Shes dressed in a discolor Givenchy dress and her hair resembles something of a pineapple. She is looking in to the store and we see her spotlessly polished reflection in the well-polished windows. Appropriately I say, since the title says adept that, Breakfast at Tiffanys. Even though is seems unimportant, just a title, Tiffanys plays a central procedure throughout the movie but non just as a location for several of the scenes.It represents e re every(prenominal)ything Holly wants and doesnt seem able to get or allow herself to want. Holly as a character is a in truth intriguing creature. Her quirkiness and seemingly free-spirit leaves me wanting to emulate her, doing my hair and make-up in the same mode and act like she does. Its not until the middle of the movie when I realize that under that perfect exterior lays a very broken and confused spirit. The ideas of the perfect and glamorous feel of Tiffanys argon 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 played personal identity of Holly Golightly, controls her life. It leaves me with a sense of longing to understand this complex personality and question was lies beneath the surface. It becomes clearer throughout the film that even though it seems very shallow there is a compassion and depth to Holly and so besides to Tiffanys. One of my favorite scenes that clearly represent this is when Holly and Paul Varjak spend a day doing things they have neer done before and end up at Tiffanys.Due to the censorship of the time, the movie was released in 1961, it is never outspoken, but 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 humanity in not only Holly but Tiffanys and even the metropolis of New York. Every decision the director has made in this film is very carefully selected, and even though the details 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 can 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 adorn and the only reason we know its not real is because the cat still has no name. in that location 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 to the highest degree the mysterious and ever ch anging Holly.
