Holly in the original book is a greedy courtesan, but Hepburn's pure and noble temperament makes this character seem like a little girl who came to a big city to chase her dreams, innocent and kind, uninhibited wild, slightly bohemian. In the end, they did not get the dream of wealth but gained love. The two found a cat and kissed in the rain, which is a happy ending for the audience. But it made the real author of Breakfast at Tiffany's furious: "She was supposed to be rich and ugly, but in the end she was so beautiful and poor!"
Fiction is sharp and obscure literature, perhaps only a small number of people will appreciate Capote's talent, and complimented by its splendid text hits, while the film is mass-market and needs to cater to most people's tastes. Except for a few purely artistic films, most films aim at the box office. The director and screenwriter actually conspired to tamper with the original novel, changing it into another story with the same name but a very different content.
Holly in the movie often goes to Tiffany's jewelry store, and her admiration for the glitz of the upper class relieves her pain. She looks extremely elegant when looking at the glitz and relieves the sadness. Living in poverty, she regards material things as everything. In order to give herself and her younger brother a carefree life, she travels day and night in the dance party. Her demeanor is elegant and moving, which makes people fascinated. The girl from the countryside, when her younger brother died, broke out in a crazy act that surprised the rich around her, and her wealth and status slipped away instantly.


Whether it's Roman Holiday or Breakfast at Tiffany's, I have a feeling of being sleepy and unable to watch the movie, probably because the movie has nothing to attract me except Hepburn's beauty.

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.
