If you have mercy on us, God will give you even more mercy.

With the mentality of giving it a try, I googled the movie and watched it on youku. This movie is really about how Truman Capote wrote the book Cold Blooded. Because I have read it in cold blood, I am very clear about the murder case described in this book, but after reading this book, I do not understand why Truman is full of sympathy for the two killers, especially Perry (Perry) among them. It spends a lot of time describing the killer's sad childhood, painful family, and life abandoned by society after a car accident. Truman's sympathy for him is clear at a glance and even a little too deliberate. I don't understand because the crime of brutality against the victim's family does not give me any forgiveness for his sins. And this whole movie is trying to get me to make some concessions in that regard.
Truman experienced a horrific nightmare in the four years he was writing, starting with just wanting to write a story in the New Yorker about the nationally smashing tragedy, to finally switching to writing a book after an interview with Perry , in which he experienced the process from simply wanting to get first-hand information to finally expressing sympathy. He fell deeper and deeper into Perry's case and almost collapsed. For the killer's sympathy, the tines pulling back and forth on both sides saw Truman to shreds.
Killing is justified, but even a killer who is cruel to the limit, after going deep into his inner world, there is still something worthy of sympathy. How human emotions manipulate us inexplicably and beyond understanding. Respect for another life, even this vile, lowly, maggot-like life is still so necessary. Whether the way of depriving one life to offset the disappearance of other lives because of him really allows sins to be punished and grievances to be appeased, this film gives some questions and thoughts. Watching the crowd, including Truman, on April 14th, 1960 (a birthday 414) from outside the screen quietly watching Perry's slight struggle before dying, I think now that all of them, including Truman, are dead, they're all gone. All these torturous struggles have been washed away by time, so what is there not to forgive?
Plus, the actor who played Truman Capote gave a great performance in this movie, it was a soul-possessing performance. He lets you know that he is performing. Of course, some people may think that this is not the most fashionable way to perform, but I personally like this kind of dazzling performance very, very much. He makes you so trustworthy and makes you stand calmly. Next to the soul of Truman Capote, in every stop motion film from the train to Kansas to seeing Penny fall from the gallows, understand every minute and every minute of the incomparably real life that has disappeared but is now resurrected seconds beat. Brilliantly great performance.
ps If you want to watch the movie, it is recommended to read the book Cold Blooded first.
