Don't the lyrics..."two drifters" just make every single women out there want to turn on some circa 1950's love story and dream they were the leading lady? Maybe tap into your inner Vivien Leigh or Rita Hayworth. Oh, the way things were. When movies were still referred to as "the silver screen" and Hollywood still glittered. Going to the movies was a grand event harnest with excitement and promise. Now when i depart on my local cinematic adventure i feel hints of nostalgia, wondering if in my lifetime if I will be lucky enough to ever experience the entertainment industry that way. They may say that I'm a dreamer, but at least I'm not the only one.
Now every once in a great while comes a long a film that takes us back in time to those old romances. Nicholas Sparks blessed us with a beautiful love story that was big and grand and at times incredibly painful. Hard to stomach feeling so involved as we all did but impossible to give up on. The Notebook in one word is and will remain captivating. I found myself wanting to go fight with my husband just to make up a minute later. The endless game of back and worth. I love you I hate you but in all reality i simply cannot live without you. Ah! Pure gold in my book. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams will forever be Noah and Allie to me. When i see them in different films I can't help but still get the warm and fuzzies over how they portrayed that story and how they made us all feel. It truly is a treat to watch.
I for the first time ever finally sat down to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. Que the gasping! Me of all people owned the film and shamefully enough in sat in it's packaging way longer then it ever should have. Myself being a bigger Katherine Hepburn fan then Audrey thought it was worth checking out. Maybe then i could understand all of the hype behind it and why every girl I know who says they love vintage anything has a breakfast a Tiffany's photo somewhere on their wall or in their home. So I sat and I watched. I have to say i enjoyed the film. In a way i felt like Audrey was in her own right a bit of a loose cannon. Her very own version of a hotmess if you will searching for love and getting roughed up along the way. Wanting so badly to be in a glamorous wealthy relationship that she starts to forget what is truly important. This is strictly my opinion of course. I feel like there was a pattern of actresses way back when. You were either incredibly bold and confident and possessed a strong steadfast presence. Or you were a bit all over the place man to man melancholy about life and it's meaning. Most of all just not knowing what truly made you happy. Which is what still transpires into the entertainment industry today. There are those two types of leading ladies. Though they may look and talk different they are still the very same women just decades later.
