Breakfast at …

What can be worse than having a cold shower in a winter morning? Things like this happen to me this morning! After swimming in the warm swimming pool, I found out there was no hot water in the changing room. I had no choice but to endure the shilling cold water pulling on me. I nearly had a heart attack.

Recently I watched quite a few DVD/Video movies. Hong Kong film market still produces those low budget, soulfulness, quick-cooked romantics packed with flaring looked stars. Hong Kong media market is becoming more and more commercialised and walking downturns for quite a few years. I want to watch Wang Kawai’s 2046, even though I may not get what he attaches to this film, it is better than the current crap products.

I watched the long waiting-for-watched film - Breakfast at Tiffany’s - this afternoon. This film was first released by Paramount Pictures in 1961 and made itself a legend in the film chronicle. Its theme song “Moon River” was hailed as an instant classic. On top of that, it was a perfectly match for the film's star Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) who was a wonderful actress and surly wins a universal praise. The image of Audrey represents a kind of eccentric but elegant beauty, and still remains in many people’s heart. However, what I like the most of this movie is its directing technique. In many camera shots, it surprised me how fancy the director chose the camera angles and reel the his camera to unveil the character in different scene. The storyline is also not bad. I am quite touched by the end part of the story, when Paul threw the Tiffany wedding-ring to Holly (Audrey) and said: “I don’t need it anymore!”. The ring is supposed to be a gift, something with precious mind behind it, yet worth nothing in the eyes of a broken-hearted man now. I had this kind of feeling before. Sadly, I am not Audrey but Paul.

p.s. Too read a further story line, pls open this link Reel Classic.

Moon River
Moon River Moon River, wider than a mile:
I'm crossin' you in
style someday.
Oh dreammaker, you heartbreaker,
Wherever you're goin',
I'm goin'your way.
Two drifters, off to see the world.
There's such a
lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end,
Waitin' round
the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
