(I mean, probably).<br /><br />This is the kind of book where I know people probably aren't going to buy it (unless they're OBSESSED with Breakfast at Tiffany's, like all good people) but I WANT TO LEND IT TO EVERYONE because everyone needs to know the awesomeness of this book.

Also the book and the movie are incredibly different, but I wouldn't even say it was necessarily important to read the book... tbh I would rather read THIS book again rather than Breakfast at Tiffanys! <br /><br />Ooooh! I don't really know that much about the code, but I find it really interesting that there was a window of, um, naughtiness and then suddenly it was like 'NOPE! No more sex for you!'

I totally get that everyone recognises that image because it's this totally iconic thing now, and honestly the only thing that bugs me is if people, like, would have a poster of her up or whatever and yet had never seen the film... (When I say this I am basically referring to one specific person who I strongly dislike who had this Breakfast at Tiffany's poster and I had JUST seen the film and wanted to talk about it and she was just like 'oh, I haven't seen it' and I'm like 'UGHHHHHH I hate you' but I totally hated her for other reasons and ok I have issues). <br /><br />It IS a really good movie though!

I saw "Breakfast at Tiffany's" over ten years ago and liked it. I know about some of the things that were changed from the book, but haven't read the book myself. I should probably change that - and rewatch the movie! <br /><br />Also regarding the strict rules for films, I remember being part of a film discussion forum and there was a poster there who was an aficionado of the "pre-code" films - the films that came out in that narrow window of the late 20's and early 30's, that didn't have to skirt around sex and other topics that became taboo under the code. So it is interesting to see how films like Breakfast at Tiffany's had to dance around what was really going on. <br /><br />- ChristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-30742693715737468892013-07-26T15:06:52.909+01:002013-07-26T15:06:52.909+01:00You know, I've never actually read Breakfast a...You know, I've never actually read Breakfast at Tiffanys :(Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-9299836604835250992013-07-26T15:06:44.957+01:002013-07-26T15:06:44.957+01:00Same as Sarah.
