I forgot what kind of coincidence I learned about "Truman Capote" a long time ago, and the Amazon shopping cart still contains his 'other voices, other rooms', waiting for an event to buy one day. My sister has a copy of his "Christmas Memories" that I also own, and I started reading it in the past two days. And Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" by another writer in the movie has always been one of my life books.
When I first watched the film, because I didn't have a general understanding of the characters, I would not be used to Capote's feminine speech and actions. The relationship between Capote and Perry, and the character of Perry, really cannot be drawn in black and white. Obviously, no matter the beginning or the end, Capote regarded Perry as a big pawn to complete his masterpiece, but this secret affection for Perry was beyond his expectations and could not be controlled. In Perry, he sees another self or his past self, and digging out Perry is also digging out his own past
In the movie, the character of Perry appeals to me more than Capote. Companions, sister's evaluation of him, as well as the humanity he showed, make you unable to fully understand this person until the end. What is his criminal mind? Why is the person who would stop the victim of a peer aggression ending up being the first and only one to pull the trigger? It is true that his childhood was lonely and miserable, and he longed for attention and love. In his diary, he wrote, (to the effect) if one day, I am asked to give a speech in public, I don't know how to express my life, but for so many people in my life who have connections and intersections with me, I express grateful. During the execution of the hanging, he asked if any family members were present. After getting a negative answer, he wanted to leave a message for his family, and his last words were the first sentence in the diary, "I don't know how to express my life." He didn't have the chance to say the second half of the diary, which I think was one of the pains that haunted him throughout his childhood and adulthood. On the night of the crime, when he tries to be a good person but sees the fear of him in the eyes of his victims, he chooses to flee into the dark
