The cage

Like Paul said in the movie "You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.' You call yourself a free spirit, a 'wild thing,' and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." I feel I'm a little similar with Holly, always think many things sticking me in the cage,I feel unhappy and try all means to break out of those cages. However, the real cage is built by myself and I put myself in that cage, that's why I can never break out of it.

    There is nothing like or dislike for Hepburn, but the whole film is out of mind, the story is clichéd, and it's too unreasonable. That cat hehe.

    Alas, I just like plump women. At the beginning of the movie, Audrey came in dressed in black. She couldn't see her face clearly, only a thin back. At that moment, I felt that if she was 60 years old, she would be truly beautiful.
