Elegant sleeveless little black dress with a pearl necklace that dangles back, a towering bun and a long smoking rod.
This is one of the most classic looks of Audrey Hepburn , and it is a classic stroke in the fashion chronicle.
This look comes from the movie " Breakfast at Tiffany's " released in 1961, in which Hepburn plays the role of a woman called Holly who worships money.
In the conservative early 1960s, it was audacious for an actress to take on such a role.
Countless people came out against Hepburn's participation, and even the original author Capote felt that she could not self-destruct the image of the holy goddess.
But Hepburn felt that the play had deafening practical significance, and she insisted on playing the role of Holly.
In 1961, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was released, and the response was extraordinary.
Now, half a century later, this film is still loved by movie fans.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" uses a simple story to tell all audiences a profound truth:
People pay for cognition throughout their lives.
Mistaken beauty as a bargaining chip in life
She loves Tiffany's jewelry, and she often dresses up and stands in front of Tiffany's windows, fantasizing she can own them.
Yes, she can only fantasize.
The bright and bright Holly is, in fact, destitute.
She lives in a small rental house, the house is a mess, not even a decent piece of furniture.
Faced with the chaos of life, Holly always said that it was only temporary and that life would get better when she settled down.
And what she said about stability is to marry a rich man and live a prosperous life.
Holly is confident, she knows she is young and good looking.
With this, she will definitely be able to step into the wealthy.
In order to live the luxurious life she wants, Holly does everything she can to meet rich people.
She dresses herself every day and enjoys parties of all kinds.
She lowered her stance and took the initiative to approach men of all kinds, hoping that a rich man would fall in love with her beauty and marry her.
But Holly didn't get her way. She went to a lot of parties, and each time she only got a $50 dressing room tip from the men.
There are too few idiots in this world, and the men around Holly are either playboys who watch flowers, or shrewd businessmen who spend money to accompany them.
themI just want to find beautiful women to play on the scene, and I won't have love at all, let alone the idea of marriage.
They use Holly as a cheap toy that you can play with for a little money.
The more Holly lowers herself to approach them, the less respect they disrespect.
A fan of the authorities, Holly feels that beauty is her greatest asset and will bring her a good life.
And bystanders are clear, the value of climbing to the sky with beauty is too shallow, and girls who have this idea will fall to the ground in front of reality.
Beautiful girls always want to use beauty as a shortcut to change their fate, but life will quietly strike back.
Destiny's gift must be marked with a secret price, as the writer Zhou Guoping said:
"If God gives you a beautiful face, you have to pay attention, it is a test of your soul."
blindly Taking beauty as capital, looking for a backer, you will get nothing in the end.
Really smart girls understand that being pretty is only a temporary advantage.
Only have the wisdom to control beauty and the courage to resist temptation to live beautifully.
If you despise love, you will misunderstand love
A writer named Paul moved into a small apartment building. Holly thinks he is very much like her own brother and likes to chat with Paul very much.
After a few conversations, Paul learned about Holly's past.
Holly lost her parents at a young age, and she has been wandering with her younger brother, living without food.
One day when she was 14 years old, Holly and her brother went to the farm to steal food and were found by a doctor who lived on the farm. Dr.
took in the poor siblings, and in return, Holly married the much older widower.

passing by Tiffany jewelryThe shop, Paul led Holly into the store, he wanted to give Holly a gift that she loved.
But Tiffany's jewelry was too expensive, Paul couldn't afford it, so he could only pull out a cheap ring and ask the clerk to engrave Holly's name.
Holly has always been disguising herself to be charming.
However, in front of Paul, she can let go of her guard and be her true self.
Such a relaxed feeling made Holly's heart move closer to Paul.
Paul has long been in love with Holly and he decides to propose to Holly.
But when he shows up with the ring, Holly's attitude suddenly reverses.
She told Paul nonchalantly that she was engaged to a rich second-generation South African.
Holly wants to sell her love to get happiness, but she doesn't know that she has destroyed the true love within reach.
Fromm once said: "Love is not an encounter, but a cause and effect."
On the road of love, whatever cause you plant will reap the fruit.
People who regard love as a means will only lose themselves in the process of pursuing success and eventually become a laughing stock.
If you want to have a happy marriage relationship, instead of exchanging love for material, it is better to find true love and go hand in hand.
Only love that goes both ways can have the courage to go upstream and withstand the crit of rain, snow, wind and frost.
Cognition of high and low, the fate of the left and right
Every Thursday morning, Holly takes the train to visit a prisoner in Xinxin prison.
The inmate would tell Holly a weather forecast, and she could easily make $100 just by relaying the exact words to a lawyer.
Holly doesn't even know that the prisoner is the boss of the mafia , the weather forecast she helped spread out is the secret code of the gang's trade.
Just when she was full of hopes of marrying into a wealthy family, things came to light and she went to jail.
reporters flocked to the camera, Holly disapproved, she told everything and praised the mafia boss as a good person.

Unexpectedly, Holly changed clothes directly in the taxi and wanted to go straight to the airport, she must go to South Africa to find her boyfriend.
Paul pulls out a letter from a rich man telling Holly he won't marry a tainted woman.
Facing this news, Holly is not sad at all, she insists on going to South Africa.

Thinking back to life in New York, Holly matured in a flash, dashing into the rain and hugging Paul.
Zhuangzi said a very incisive sentence in " Getaway ": "Summer insects cannot speak to ice, and well frogs cannot speak to sea."
Each of us is using our limited knowledge to understand the world.
If cognition has been stagnant, no matter how many ups and downs it has gone through, it is just spinning in place in the whirlpool of fate and cannot break the game.
Only by going through experiences to refine the mind, taking advantage of the situation to cultivate the mind, engaging in the understanding of the principles, and changing careers from the principles, can we improve our cognition and make the right choice.
At the end of the novel "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Holly insists on going to South Africa. Her end is unknown, but it is certain that her soul is lost in money.
While the movie gave the audience a happy ending, the director and writers changed it into another story with the same name but a very different content.
Holly finally found her original intention and is closer to happiness than ever.
Philosopher Schopenhauer said:
The biggest prison in the world is the human mind.
What really makes life difficult is never economic poverty, but cognitive barriers.
When you stand at the foot of the mountain, you can only see the scenery of hundreds of meters in front of you; when you stand on the top of the mountain, you have a panoramic view of all the scenery, and nothing can block your sight.
Your cognitive level is getting higher and higher, and you will find that all those difficulties can be solved easily.
Cognition determines the upper limit of life, and effort determines the lower limit of life.
I hope you and I can improve our cognition, penetrate the essence of things, make correct decisions, and usher in a life break.
