That veritable "age of innocence"

Breakfast at Tiffany's

When I was a child, I saw such a movie on TV: the hero and heroine went up and down the safety ladder outside the building, and climbed out and in through the window; the heroine sat on the windowsill, played the guitar, sang the moon river with a soft voice tactfully.
When I grew up, I only understood this movie, I know, it turned out to be called "Breakfast at Tiffany's", the heroine is a courtesan, and the hero is an outdated writer who is supported by women, and the elegant and calm Tiffany provides Engraving service, on a worthless ring. Of course, the ending is happy, and the movies of the 60s are still very idealized.
Hepburn was elegant and innocent, even as a seasoned courtesan, like a princess in Roman Holiday. There are a lot of idealized shots in the film, like, they steal two animal masks from a store. The innocence at the time seems a bit ridiculous now. But that's okay, it was a veritable "age of innocence", wasn't it?

    The prudent charm of the leisure class, the two people who fell into the social predicament of "material slavery" get rid of their confusion and find their identity. The way of Hollywood's narrative is still too shallow and straightforward, relying on an affectionate preaching to awaken people's sobriety, such "awakening" Also too cheap.

    Audrey Hepburn's performance is very moving, but still not out of the stereotyped routine of "innocent and lively angel". The film is lighter and funnier than the original, but it's also cliché and superficial, and it's no wonder Capote was displeased. Hepburn smoking a pipe, singing "Moon River" and looking for a cat in the rain are three classic scenes, and that cat deserves a special performance award. | Stealing masks in the mall, bathtub sofa, Japanese man upstairs, running into yourself. (7.0/10)
