I’ve come to the conclusion that, after the murders in Atlanta, that for Breakfast At Tiffany’s to be shown on TV, the Mikey Rooney character should be edited out altogether.
The character does nothing for the plot and it makes the movie significantly better to eliminate that particular weird subplot. It’s not like Song of The South where the problematic elements of the movie are existential — simply clipping the offensive scenes from the movie would be enough.
There’s no need for future generations to know that subplot even existed.
The movie really is The Perfect Movie and by editing it instead of “canceling” it altogether is a way to keep it culturally significant.
