Latin Golightly

Funny how one tune can evoke so many thoughts in one heads. As I am writing this post, I am listening to Mancini's tune called Latin Golightly. I am guessing this is a part of the Breakfast at Tiffany's ensemble. Well, first of all its a very retro tune. Complete with the little bells, people humming and the wind instruments. It is a very playful tune that is as tantalizing as the character that I am assuming it has been named after. Very dainty, ofcourse and danceable in my opinion.

So, I have never read Capote's book, but having watched the movie I most humbly submit - I kind of sort of get it, and I kind of sort of don't. I think the basic, primary, most overriding message of the movie is that Holly Golightly, and most all other unfortunate souls will survive allowing someone else into their existence. That they can go ahead and unpack their bags, name their cats and belong to someone. (dejavu - I think I mentioned something about this earlier in the blog?) If I screwed that one up, then its just as well - I didn't think that message was for me.

Some questions about the movie:
1. During the party, are they all high or something? I think they must be, but there is no overt mention made relating to this.
2. What exactly is her profession? What exactly does "going to the power room" entail?
3. What was the point of adding the most annoying Rooney character? How does he contribute anything to the plot or the story?
