'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was a random selection that day- what a lovely choice it turned out to be! Holly Golightly aka Lula Mae devoured my heart with her antics, adventure-spirit, slight madness, and boldness. I thought, this is how freely people should be able to mingle with other people- devoid of any insecurities, without being scared of a great many normal worries and societal norms. Audrey Hepburn was amazing in her most iconic role, but when you know that Truman Capote the author of the novella wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly, I feel that she could have brought another level of charm to the character. The movie is brimmed with happiness and energy. The cat deserves a special mention for its role in the movie. I am so glad that I picked this movie on that day. 

Oh, what a movie; what a lovely, lovely movie!
