In Reply to: Gee....am I the only one who thinks that movie stinks? posted by danj on February 21, 2003 at 23:17:21:
***Wanna see a M U C H better movie with a somewhat similar theme? Watch "Breakfast At Tiffanys."LOL! It is kind of hard to put them side-by-side, or even consider together! Breakfast is one of high points in world cinema. You mean Holly was a.....? No way, man! I'v seen hookers, and she ain't it!
Follow Ups:
like in "Pretty Woman."The word was "somewhat." The movies have similar themes even if the specifics are different.
It bothers me that "Pretty Woman" is seen as a high point of 90s cinema. I've always been bothered by the notion that a woman is somehow "property" and think the Gere character shallow and loathsome.
I do wish that those who so admire "Pretty Woman" would watch "Breakfast At Tiffanys."
And, yes, "BAT" is one of the great films of the 60s. And isn't Audrey Hepburn just a sheer delight? She was in all her films but really shines in the roll of Holly. The story is basically fluff but, man, what they did with it!
I do like Julia Roberts very much. She has a great presence and is a highly skilled and apealling actress. She ain't no Audrey Hepburn - but who is?
Audrey was an original. Right up there in the pantheon of leading actresses. There was Kate Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Ingrid Bergman, Maria Falconetti (silents), Audrey Hepburn, Myrna Loy, and sometimes Irene Dunne and Joan Crawford. Then there was all the rest. (I left out modern actresses, of which only a very few belong in the same company as the aforementioned talents.)
Audrey was always delightful. There will never be another who can touch her. She was a great one.
on this board who think that "Pretty Woman" is a "high point in 90's cinema". And suffice it to say that I agree 100% with your assessment of past and present actresses (You might get a fight from Victor regarding Ingrid, though..hehe).
"Would you be surprised to know that this rough, tough individual was wearing pink satin undies under his rough exteriour clothing? He is."
instead of Cinderella being innocent and pure, she was a dirty street walker. All those fairy tales have women being kept by men, which was appropriate to the times.mp
