I wondered what life might hold for me just as you did - all these years later I'm not impressed with myself.

I once read a deconstruction that explained how the director used this opening sequence to set up the central themes of the film; appearance vs. reality, and the problem of illusion. The surreal, deserted 5th Ave., which in reality is NEVER deserted. Then the incongruities; taxi, elegant dress/figure, cardboard coffee cup, Tiffany's. Then the masterful use of the windows as mirrors; camera goes back and forth between views of Holly and her reflection. Until we can't tell whether we are seeing Holly or her image through the glass.

It's like comedy...I watched a Russian comedy sketch today and I wondered what in the hell happened to Saturday Night Live, for example...the sketch was akin to British comedy, meaning clever and actually funny...SNL isn't funny anymore...I mean, hell, All in the Family, for example, those were the days of golden television...we have some great film, like The Shawshank Redemption, but it's like modern literature--we need action, action, action. We don't have the appreciation for something if it isn't filled with sex, guns, and explosions. And how many movies with badass, half-naked women are they going to give us? How many action packed movies? Jurassic Park was about a likable man who tried to play God or Nature if you like...to do something that was not meant to be...and it resulted in horrible consequences. The sequels are all about action. This movie is about a girl who doesn't know what she wants or where she's going, mislead by an unscrupulous man, akin to how Nastasya Flillipovna in "The Idiot" is. Both movies have substance to them. Still, there is the Golden Age, and then there is simply great film, like The Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, and Cast Away. A movie that can make you cry over a volleyball floating away is great film, but this is pure...only people with appreciation for art can enjoy it. Some people can't sit through it.

This magic dress belongs to the Museum of fashion in Madrid, Spain. Hubert attempted to donate it to the museum after visiting it when he was organizing the large exhibition he held at the Thyssen Bornemisza's museum before he died. He said: "This museum is impressive, you are doing a great job", this, added to his admiration for Cristóbal Balenciaga, who was his teacher and Spanish, made it seem like a good idea to donate this iconic dress to Madrid. Three copies of this dress were made but Audrey Hepburn only wore one of those three, and that was the one that is kept in the fashion museum in Madrid. I had the opportunity to hold it, and it is absolutly magical.

Frankly, I think Audrey Hepburn is, and will always be, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I kind of had a bit of a girl crush on her in Roman Holiday! Audrey was definitely the sole definition of female elegance, everything a woman should be. Curiously enough, she seemed to be one of the few women in history that another woman would not be jealous of at all-everything she showed off, such as her grace, her beauty, being very skinny and petite, and her magnificent VOICE, it was all RIGHTFULLY owned by her. So tragic that this cinematic queen died from cancer.

Try this: download this specific song (not the recorded one). Then, buy a danish or croissant, a cup of joe, visit your nearest city (with the skyscrapers and all that) in the morning, walk through the streets, eat your breakfast while playing the song on your Spotify. Result? Epic! This will also remove those "mean reds" in you.. :)

Gentile , almost aristocratic , even though she is Elle May from the farm , its not the Givenchy dress, that make her lady like, its more , its her soul , authentic ,she does not need to wear Tiffany to make us understand she belongs at Tiffany . This is a testament to Hepburn's stellar acting ability , not a word , but you feel her worth ,in class by her self . What a missed talent . . .
