These are absolutely fantastic movies
|
You cannot blame Audrey Hepburn or anybody else involved with these movies for stereotypical portrayals that were socially acceptable at the time. The review below complains about the asian bplayed by Mickey Rooney, but come on! keep in mind that almost every American found this portrayal completely acceptable if not funny when this movie came out. If anything, this is a great representation of our culture at the time that the moviemakers didn't even mean to do--our shallow and xenophobic society. This would only be a problem if you still to this day agreed with the portrayal, which most people don't. Breakfast at Tiffany's is an absolutely fantastic movie, as is My Fair Lady and Roman Holiday.
The only real problem with this set is that it doesn't include Sabrina, easily belonged in the set along side the others, maybe even in place of My Fair Lady. Roman Holiday, however, is the best movie Audrey Hepburn was ever in (kind of a shame that it was one of her first appearances ever, that nothing in the rest of her career, no matter how great, ever compared). Roman Holiday is, like the others, outdated if you try to put it into modern context. If you place it in the context of the time that it was filmed, however, it is amazing what was done. This movie stands the test of time because it is a story of love that is somehow more full and pure than the love stories in movies today.
My Fair Lady is a classic that will always be relevant ironically because it isn't and never really was relevant to begin with. It is a fantasy, and anyone watching it will have to let their guard down and use their imagination. If you can just let yourself soak it in, however, you will absolutely never forget this story--and want your kids and your grandkids to experience it.
I'm also (as are many people) completely biased because I'm in love with Audrey Hepburn, but oh well... |
