Auntie Mame (1958)
What a wonderful story. At first I was thinking why the excess, what good could it do? But slowly thorugh the story I was won over by Mame, her life, her outlook. How petty the haterz are, how small their world and concerns, and how little they accomplish. How sad the lives of the upwardly mobile, the middle classes aspiring to be rich and exclusive snobs. And how strange and unusual our real friends are, and how strange and unusual our relationships. Auntie Mame is the same person at the end as at the beginning, more or less, maybe a bit slowed down in her talking at the end, but it is the audience that has changed. "Life is a banquet, and most people are starving."
This movie makes me want to experience the world, take horse riding lessons, travel to strange new places, and not be afraid to take a chance.
