I finished Breakfast at Tiffany's and decided I wanted to watch Capote, so I rented it.
It is a good and interesting movie. Since I didn't know much about Truman Capote I looked him up on Wikipedia.
It was exciting to see that he was a childhood friend of Harper Lee's (and she is in the movie too), some people thought that he had ghost written To Kill a Mockingbird. The character of Dill was inspired on him.
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but after reading the book I remembered that Breakfast at Tiffany's (the movie) was a bit different. First, Holly Golightly is supposed to be a blonde, and Audrey Hepburn is most certainly not. Well, apparently Capote was not amused with the character being toned down to appeal to the mass audiences for the movie.
Really interesting.

I'm definitely going to watch Capote before reading Breakfast at Tiffany's, that is if I can ever find it availbale at Blockbuster. Maybe I'll pick it up tonight when I return my other movies!
And I think we should watch Breakfast at Tiffany's when we meet to discuss the book- like Maria suggested.
Yeaaaay, watch a movie, yaaay!
yeah let's watch it, but maybe not that same night cause then we wont get to chat as much.
does anyone own it?
Hmmm, I think we should watch it the same night. We did it for To Kill a Mockingbird, and it worked out well. I think, anyways... Maria? Julia? What do you think? We can meet at like, 6:30, eat dinner and discuss, and start the movie at like, 7:30-8pm? Or is that too late??
