I didn't understand the story to Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I don't get what the movie was trying to about. What's the theme or the message? Mainly it's about a guy who is fascinated with a woman and he keeps on being fascinated by her for the length of the movie and that's all it seems to be about, with any real theme or message to it.
Like why was this movie even made or why am I watching? Since I didn't know what to feel at all, I couldn't even bring myself to watch the ending, cause I feel need to figure out what the point of the rest of the movie is first, before I go any further. What do you think, or can anyone tell me what I am missing? |

It was suppose to be romantic comedy? Cause the only funny part I laughed at was her clumsy over the top landlord. I didn't laugh at any other parts.

A lot of people, myself included, Mickey Rooney's Japanese landlord is the worst thing in the movie.

It's Audrey Hepburn's character dealing with her new boyfriend who, after witnessing her outlook on life, is able to help her grow.

I think I just feel I didn't care about the main character, and she needed more to invest me maybe, and just didn't get the big deal. |

@ironpony
Are you an alt account for some other member? If not, are you in school and posing these questions for a class you are taking? |
Re: I didn't understand the story to Breakfast at Tiffany's.
No, I am not an alternate account and I am not posing these for a class. I seriously was just asking what the meaning of the story was, cause I just wanted to know out of shear interest in the movie.

Good to hear. I am always impressed by how much participation your threads generate.

I bet you would like an HoF (Movie Hall of Fame). I'm thinking of making a 'first timers' Virgin HoF for 4-5 people to try out, and see if they like it. I think HoFs are cool as we all watch the same movies and discuss them, which is fun and interesting. I know you like to discuss movies. Do you think you might be interested? |
Re: I didn't understand the story to Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a character piece. It’s not really a romcom, more of a rom with some com, as Holly tries to reinvent herself. A bit like Cabaret in the sense that both Sally and Holly are flamboyant and unreal.

Re: I didn't understand the story to Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is about a woman who sells herself (not her body, which would at least be somewhat honest, but simply the theoretical chance at her body, a lie which upon which she never delivers or backs up) for money in order to keep herself in a lavish lifestyle in New York City without producing a single thing whatsoever. It is insipid, stupid and (as a minor point, due to the time frame in which it was filmed) contains a, now-considered, racist performance by Mickey Rooney. In other words, the movie is very bad. Avoid at all costs.

Read the book or https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....1fwckffljL.jpg But if you really want a possible interpretation of the film it's possible Holly Golightly was about gay kept men in the 1950's or about Truman Capote's mother in the 20's. |
