After promoting consumerism, it will be trampled by ideology

Sister Hepburn's classic, find it out and reminisce, it's really delicious~ The above is the recollection of 2008... I reminisced about it today. It can be said that this should be regarded as a template for inserting movies in advertisements. Carpenter's novels are acceptable. But the movie is even more prominent. If Carpenter's novels also criticize American society and the American dream, then in the movie, the beautiful love bridges everything... The movie largely praises Ti in the name of following the original. Fannie jewelry, it seems that the high society it represents is flawless, and jewelry has become a symbol, in contrast, the popcorn giveaway ring has become a signifier of the grassroots, although they are extremely humble and worthless. , but they also want to imprint Tiffany's name, which is a shaping of values ​​and an image of the lower class yearning for the upper class... However, with the explosion of Hepburn's pot of Indian food, it seems that all beautiful dreams have also ended. She spared no effort to climb, but could not find good rules. She sold herself to socialize with great difficulty, but she could never get more than $200 in deposits. This is the reality. The American dream will never be realized, because if in the end The letter, "You and I belong to different classes", the class gap cannot be broken through individual efforts. For Hepburn and others, they are so naive, just like cats and dogs, the cat in the movie has become the heroine's self-portrait , they are all nameless and displaced, so they don't belong either. Their names are just symbols, and they can be called anything. This is also reflected in the male protagonists... The male and female protagonists also have innocent hearts. For example, they are happy together in The supermarket stole, but what they stole were insignificant and worthless masks, and the masks were nothing more than cats and dogs. It was like a portrayal of their identities. No one cared about throwing away cats and dogs, and they walked through the street. Even if they don't wear masks, they are like For cats and dogs, in the second half of the outdoor scene, the director used a lot of composition. There are many high-rise buildings in New York. The director used upside-down shooting, but not the hero and heroine, but the high-rise buildings. During modernization, we found that the proportion of the male and female protagonists in the film composition was so small, they basically did not move, and the long shots kept panning around. It was this contrasting oppression that presented us. Their fate is so insignificant... However, just when all these criticisms are more profound, the director safeguards the interests of the mainstream ruling class, from the initial heroine standing in front of the Tiffany's cupboard for breakfast, to the two strolling around Tiffany's Fanny's jewelry store, and the gentleman's clerk's performance, it seems that everything is self-inflicted, and the upper class is always gentle and beautiful, just like the rich man who is going to Brazil.People, the fault lies in the heroine's chaotic mind, not knowing how to manage money, not thinking too much, the fault lies in the lack of talent of the hero and willing to be nurtured. It seems that the upper class has no responsibility at all. Therefore, what is intolerable is that in the whole movie While making a big advertisement, in addition to promoting the brand and consumerism, it also infiltrates a strong ideology to step on the grass-roots class... In addition, the funny Japanese is too exaggerated. Obviously, in the 1960s, Japan People became the object of ridicule. This was a manifestation of the inner contempt that the American economy was threatened by the emerging business of Japan at that time. For Japan, which was considered to be the third world at that time, or properly speaking, Japan representing the East, this It is also a kind of blasphemy and insult. Of course, look carefully. In the party in the first half, there are multiple scenes of a Chinese female courtesan... Of course, the music of this film is really classic, and "Moon River" even surpasses the text of the film In itself, it has been circulated for a long time... And the composition of the film is very particular, especially, in the case of a lot of indoor scenes, fire escapes, stairs, and doors have become very good tools, such as the theme song scene, stairs windows A triangle is formed, and Hepburn, who is quite a bit of a gypsy game, plays the guitar and sings. The freedom of life in this is yearning, and it once again stitches up the oppression of the upper class on the grassroots... In the end, the lovers are married. , this is an old Hollywood cliché, however, this combination is nothing more than finding a cat on a rainy day, two people kissing, that is to say, the heroine finds her kindness, and the two warm each other temporarily, but how will it be tomorrow? In the past, the director could not give an answer, he just gave a good blessing..."River" even transcends the text of the film itself and has been passed down for a long time...and the composition of the film is very particular, especially, in the case of a lot of indoor scenes, fire escapes, stairs, and doors have become good tools, such as themes In the song, the stairs and windows formed a triangle, and Hepburn, who was a bit of a gypsy and game dress, played the guitar and sang. The freedom and uninhibited life in this one made people yearn, and once again stitched up the oppression of the upper class on the grassroots... In the end, lovers get married, which is an old fashion in Hollywood. However, this combination is nothing more than finding a cat on a rainy day and two people kissing. That is to say, the heroine finds her kindness, and the two warm each other temporarily , but how will we spend tomorrow, the director can't give an answer, he just gave a good blessing..."River" even transcends the text of the film itself and has been passed down for a long time...and the composition of the film is very particular, especially, in the case of a lot of indoor scenes, fire escapes, stairs, and doors have become good tools, such as themes In the song, the stairs and windows formed a triangle, and Hepburn, who was a bit of a gypsy and game dress, played the guitar and sang.

Breakfast at Tiffany's quotes

  • Holly Golightly: He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.

    Paul Varjak: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store?

    Holly Golightly: That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's!

  • Holly Golightly: I'm like cat here, a no-name slob. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.
