    The irony with Rooney's racist portrayal is that Capote specifically subverts that expectation in the book. The character is depicted as entirely American. When Joe Bell suggests he's from Japan, the narrator corrects him — "He's from California."

    From what i remember and understand about reading the book and seeing the movie years ago, is that it's an allegory for escaping childhood trauma/abuse: you escape a bad upbringing and it damages you into someone who chases love, but doesnt know what it looks like, hurting you years and years later, even after escaping, and to the confusion of the people around you. The book was written back in the 1950/60s when you couldnt open talk about stuff like this.

    For some reason I had it in my head that Breakfast at Tiffany's was a movie from the 1980s, starring Molly Ringwald, and she played a character named Tiffany. Some guy ends up spending the night, so he ends up having breakfast at Tiffany's.

    I was way off.😅

    To be fair, the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" song was about a guy who's trying to get with a girl and she says "we have nothing in common" and he starts talking about this movie and she's like "shit I didn't even give that thing a second thought until now I mean I guess I kinda' liked it." Mickey Rooney was an interesting character though. He was in acting almost literally his entire life and I suspect that he checked-out long before any movie made in color.

    In the old days, classy joints had bathroom attendants, and it was customary to tip them on the way out. A gentleman would give a lady some nominal amount as a courtesy in such situations, normally a dollar or some change. Getting $50 for the powder room (which of course would be the equivalent of hundreds today) would've been exorbitant.

    I think the $50 that the men give Holly is a tip for the bathroom attendant. Nicer places used to have bathroom attendants so men would give women tip money, but women would just pocket this money.

    Yeah I just watched it for the first time and yikes. It's hilariously nonchalantly racist and the 14 year old marriage thing really was handeld in a fucked up way as well. I mean the way she gently says goodbey to her ex pedo husband was the icing on the cake.

    One note is that Holly/Lula Mae married young to provide for her and her older brother as it was during the Great Depression, they were literally starving to death searching for wild bird eggs as food. She married and didn't have to lift a finger anymore. He married her, but everything in that marriage, including accepting the proposal, were Holly's decisions, not the old man's. Her husband only came to New York because she had abandoned everybody, including her brother without much as a word.
