Seen Two Of Audrey Hepburn's most Famous Films

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1.5/5)

This film was on my bucket list of movies to see. It should of stayed on the shelf.

There was a reason why I kept putting it, but I could never remember why, then when the opening credits rolled, I remembered... It was Mickey Rooney's racist depiction of a seemingly Japanese man. It was heartbreaking and disappointing to see a actor that I believe to be funny and talented lower himself to ugly and unnecessary character.

For another else that has seen the movie, you know that if Mickey Rooney's character was not in the film, the movie would of been the same.

The racism wasnt the only thing that made me uncomfortable; without spoiling anything, there was a conversation of child marriage... yeah....

I feel the movie was written by people of there time and it was a excuse to have Hepburn walk up and down New York in pretty outfits. The two lead characters are written well, however their efforts to hold up the rest of the shoehorned chaos and drama falls flat.

The cat is the best character.

Funny Face (3/5)

The movie takes place it was seems like a late 1950's New York. The colors are vivid and bright, with well-tailored choreography and musical numbers, (Pun intended).

I was surprised it was a musical, but the pacing of the movie quickly makes you absorb the idea of its structure.

It stars Audrey Hepburn as an unwilling bookstore employee who is whisked away into a fashionista adventure on the advice of photographer Fred Astaire, who, on their first meeting, sexually assaults her by kissing her right on the lips and leaving. She sings a song about being infatuated... This was a movie of its time.

In the beginning, the pacing is very fast and things come together quickly. I had wished that they made Audrey's character get to know Astaires character before kissing a stranger.

After that, we quickly go to a beautiful and lively Paris, France. Paris is the main star of the movie.

It is a truly escapist move as you feel you are taking a trip to the city yourself.

As in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's," I feel this movie was an excuse to have Hepburn in beautiful outfits, but it works here as the movie is centered around fashion.

While I do feel Fred and Audrey have great chemistry, their drama and arguments in the film seemed forced and made them both come off as rather childish.

If there's nothing else on while traveling, I might give it another view, but rewatching it on my own, I wouldnt.

My all-time favorite movie of Audrey Hepburn's (So far) is 'My Fair Lady' if you haven't seen that one, give it a watch.

About Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows. (My Opinion)

For years I've been wanting a game or movie house to make some AAA media about the black warrior that was in Japan. However we are talking about Ubisoft here.

Although it is a game, you are dealing with another culture and real historical people. That is a sensitive subject, especially when it comes to people of color.

What bothers me the most is the historical inaccuracy, like how one becomes a Samarai and the family ties that you have to have, but also, why when it comes to Japan, everything is Ninjas and Samurai? There's so much more to the empire than that.

I hope that another more investigative and researching studio can pick up the ashes and be inspired to make a game about historical black people in Japan and throughout Asia.

I think the show is brilliant and has a lot of social commentary that can be discussed in a intelligent yet relatable and funny way.

OMG, Biden needs to be replaced...

I'm a never-trumper, but Biden needs to retire for the good of the country.

There has to be another candidate in the Demo party.

My pic is Howard Dean.

I think the only way to make WBS A.K.A. "White Boy Summer" not racist is to release it to the gay community.

Here, have at it!

Just here to scroll and complain about my mental illness.

I guess I'll pin this.

-I'm 40, about to be 41, so talking to anyone under 30 is kind of cringe for me, and I absolutely do not want to speak to anyone under 21. if you are under 21 turn away.

-No racists, homophobes, pedophiles.

-I respect and tolerate religions and acknowledge how they can help some people some of the time. However, I'm nonreligious and feel it has divided the world and ruined lives and governments.

-I don't drink, smoke, do illegal or recreational drugs

-My hobbies include, but aren't limited to: Spending time with my family, watching cooking and food videos, cooking and writing, scrolling through Pinterest, staying at home, deep thinking.

-I'm very much a hermit and only go out a few times a year due mostly to mental illness/trauma, financial issues, and society.

-I'm nonpolitical; I believe it's a big game meant to divide and distract society from coming together and solving real, important issues. We are more alike than our differences.

-I'm a friendly person, but not looking for friends. I'm very much a loner. I'll answer questions as they come but wont answer every one that comes.

That's all I can think of for right now; if I can think of more, it will be added to the list.
