The background of the movie is the United States in 1960. There was a massacre in Kansas, and the murderer was two burglars. The thief, a sensation in the city. The famous writer Truman Capote was so interested in the case that he enlisted the support of The New Yorker to do in-depth research and interviews, and became friends with the suspect, followed by a novel that could never be finished"In "Cold Blood".
The rhythm of the whole movie is relatively slow, giving people a very dark feeling. There are no tight plots, no scary scenes, the biggest selling point of the movie must be the acting skills of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and maybe Truman Capote this The reputation of the writer. I admire the director and/or casting director, yes, Philip Seymour Hoffman is a first-class professional actor, but without an attractive face, just relying on his acting skills, he is almost responsible for the whole movie. As we all know Truman Capote is a Homosexual, it is said that he also has that unique sissy voice in real life, Hoffman used that special voice to act in the whole movie.
"In Cold Blood" book, rewriting the non-fiction works of American literature , being put on the big screen must be convincing. I haven't read any of Truman Capote's books, and I'm not familiar with him. It's because of the movie that I know that he is the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's". The famous American writer mentioned in the movie And Tennessee Williams, a good friend of Truman Capote. After Capote's death, Williams and other friends wrote a book called "Lost Friendships: Memoir of Truman Capote".
Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Capote's inner struggles just right, especially when he finds out that the suspect Perry's childhood experiences are basically the same as his own. In the film, Capote says that Perry is like he grew up in the same family as he is right at the front door Go out, and Perry went through the back door: It's as if Perry and I grew up in the same house. And one day he went out the back door and I went out the front. Sympathy, pity, compassion. Maybe he wished Perry wasn't the murderer. However, Perry refused to tell him what happened the night of the murder, and as a result, Capote couldn't finish his book for a long time. After
watching the movie, it's clear why it was at the Oscars Only one of the best actor nominations has a higher voice, and only this one wins.
