When delusions become reality

Early in the morning, New York's Fifth Avenue was deserted, dressed in a black evening dress with a fake jewelry necklace around her neck, Holly Golightly stood alone in front of Tiffany's jewelry store. Her cheeks were pressed against the window, and she was carrying a kraft paper bag in her hand. While eating croissants and drinking hot coffee in the bag, she watched everything in Tiffany's store with envious eyes... The movie is like this The shot opens with quiet luxury and silent ambition.
What words can we use to describe Holly? Naive, decadent, sloppy, stylish, charming, frivolous, money-worshiping, materialistic, vain, paranoid, disbelieving in true love, elegant, chaotic, heartless The...every woman is a complex riddle. Holly's image is still iconic today, more than 50 years later. So many girls from ordinary families, unwilling to be mediocre and ambitious, go to big cities to pursue their dreams without hesitation. Some of them long to be famous, some long to get rich, some long for fairy tale love, some hope to catch a golden tortoise son-in-law... They think that beauty and body can conquer the world. They chased those golden futures dangerously and boldly, wandered freely in the flashy metropolis, and gave full play to their youth. They can all see their own shadow in Holly, and the only difference may be that they don't have the beauty of Audrey Hepburn.
At the end of the film, Holly was given a "perfect" ending. She was moved by Paul's words in the rain and gave up the idea of ​​marrying a rich Brazilian. She finally realized that the love around her is the real love, and the two hugged the kitten and kissed in the rain. However, Capote, the original author of the novel, was not satisfied with such an ending, and believed that the stubborn and vain Miss Holly would not change her decision.
Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and the right to decide their own way of life. No one has the right to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the lives of others. But please think about what kind of life you want. When the prosperity comes to an end and delusions come to reality, is it a confidant or a nameless cat who accompanies you by your side?

    After watching the second Hepburn lead role, she really has no acting skills at all.••• The hard photos are so beautiful that she would die in the movie.•••So disappointing
