I loved this style of video, I think you could make it a series ❤ I especially enjoyed the character introductions with the brief summary! Though I would suggest leaving the "profile" up for a couple more seconds so we get time to read it (if you ever make another one of these that is 😂)
The Yunioshi scenes aside.. The movie really is something great. Be Kind Rewind talks about the what ifs if the movie were made today and stuck to the original writings of the book, but this movie (minus the racist caricature) holds a place in my heart. I could especially relate to Holly where she doesn't want to be caged, but inadvertently does the thing she swore not to do. Her past of marrying Doc at a young age, and having a close bond with her brother. There really was a theme about loving yourself and being allowed to accept love from others. Don't forget that Moon River Scene, so beautiful and reveals that Holly, without the make-up and fine dresses. Is just a girl who has gone through it and yearns for something more. Paul really showed her that despite her past, her awkward feelings towards genuine love, and the time he waited for her, to put two and two together about her feelings. Like damn.. I need a Paul in my life too haha
Oh man I recently told my boyfriend all about Mickey Rooney in this because I referenced it offhand, he had no idea what I was talking about, and he was floored when I showed him. It's....incredibly unfortunate. Both him and the director Blake Edwards regret it and would do it differently today but also plead ignorance. Typical, but it's pretty close to the best you can hope for under the circumstances. As a huge Hepburn girl it's pretty middle of the road. Novel is better and there are better AH movies. But, I do think it should be seen, especially for it *feeling* every bit as iconic and for that luscious score.
Oof yea I feel like people don't understand how bad it is until they actually watch it! I'm a sucker for Roman Holiday so I agree with your points. The novel is also pretty short and easy to read!
Our girl got an sponsor! Yay! I always wanted to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's but the whole Mr. Yunioshi situation drives me crazy every time I try. Like, why is he in the first minutes of the movie? So sad to see the lack of inclusion back in the day :(. I never hear of "Flower Drum Song"! Maybe a double feature is what I need to finally watch it 😀❤ BTW we totally need the remake version with Annabella Soong's character x hot and accurate Mr. Yunioshi! P.S. 7:46 Girl! You missed the opportunity to include a joke about Ken's horses obsession lol
My first sponsor (thanks to everyone who watches my silly vids) 😭 it's wild that they wanted to cut out the Moon River scene when they could have just cut all of Yunioshi's scenes entirely for a lower runtime 💀 Also me and my last brain cell totally missed an opportune moment 🐴

@@gimmepuffsleeves Agreed, Roman Holiday is lovely! My favorite is Charade. "I love you Adam, Alex, Peter, Brian, whatever your name is!"
