Miscellaneous Post 4

In the miscellaneous post before this one, I mentioned how I had to watch a large number of movies as part of a project when I was in high school. Most of these films were made before the 1990's. One of these films was Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was the first Audrey Hepburn film that I had ever seen and I was instantaneously enamored of Audrey.
I was raised by and large by older people. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents down south talking about the old days when things were better than they are now. My mother is thirty one years older than I am in contrast to my friends' parents who are only twenty years older than them on average. As such, I was raised believing that the old way is the best way. This extended to movies as well. I had heard of Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn, and of Vivien Leigh when I was younger. I had never seen the movies they starred in. When I was younger, I was still but a young boy; I liked movies with explosions and gunfights and cuss words. The often-slow pacing of older movies wasn't enough to keep me occupied until I was older.
In my research for my senior project, I again came across Audrey's name and decided to give what was apparently one of her more famous films a try. I found a copy of Breakfast at Tiffany's and sat down to watch.  Two hours later, I was completely and totally in love with Audrey Hepburn.
I was living in a time where Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox were the major female stars. I had seen the first two Transformers movies and the first Tomb Raider movie. I saw movies with little to no substance and actresses who showed entirely too much skin and nowhere near enough depth.
I've only seen three and a half of Audrey Hepburn's films and bits and pieces of maybe five others, but I found more depth and beauty in those three and a half films than I did in any number of Michael Bay films put together.
