Take me to a "Roman Holiday"

Last night, I finally got to watch Roman Holiday. It's the 1953 movie of the famous fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn. Starring with another Oscar winner, Gregory Peck. The movie was entirely shot in Rome and it's fascinating to see movies in black and white. Since I am not a fan of spoiling movies to people, I can safely say it's a fun movie. Something you would love to do yourself even if you're not a princess like Princess Ann/Anya Smith played by Hepburn. One would also appreciate what Rome looked like at the time. Also, it interesting to see how people acted, how they dressed and to feel the era during those days. The cinematography is something to appreciate too since we come from a high tech digital age.

Audrey Hepburn truly has this sunshine-y personality that gave fun and carefree feel to her characters. At the same time, she possesses elegance and grace in her moves. On the other hand, Gregory Peck portrays ideal gentlemen which we lack today. Sadly, I realized how much have changed and I couldn't picture what the future could look like.
