Holly Golightly and I --- not so strong?
Everybody puts on a show. Actors, actresses, characters, and even us "ordinary people." Everybody does it in different ways. This is another similarity between Holly Golightly and I that I've stumbled upon during one of the zillion times I've watched Breakfast at Tiffanys. Holly like to put on a show that she has everything figured out, she's sophisticated, well structured, inviolable and practically unbreakable. She makes it seem as thought her future is concrete and she needs no one but herself. But once she is comfortable with a person, she lets her gaurd down and slips into a "sweetly vulnerable bundle of neuroses" whether or not she intends to. I must admit, I am the same way. I try to lie to others, and myself, and come off as a well strung, unbreakable, and certain about everything... Honestly I'm more uncertain than a kid in a candy store with only a dollar left, I'm as breakable as the horizon, and I'm such a mess and bundle of confusion inside that I'm more loosely strung than a 5 year aged fishing net. I guess you could call this connection between me and Ms. Golightly more of a confession about who I really am. But everytime I watch this movie, I find more out about life, and myself. It's stellar. =]
