Truman Capote, born in New Orleans, United States in 1924, is a famous American writer, magazine writer, TV commentator, and the darling of the high society... Many titles, controversial figures, especially bisexual identity, reality The biography "Cold Blood" was scrapped after the deadline. He died of alcoholism and drug addiction in 1984. Originally, I had no right to poke or praise the deceased person. A relatively fair plot film allows the audience to judge. At least Capote brings the source of collective consciousness of literary creation directly to the parties involved, and decisively participates in the writing method. It still affects the literary world, and also created the brilliant high point of his life - "Cold Blood".
The script is adapted from the biography of Gerald Clarke, and the main line is placed in the five years from 1959 to 1965. The ups and downs of human conflict and the soothing drama have developed into the characteristics of this film, and it is also the film critics relish Dao's behavior is a wax-chewing drama criticized by literary audiences. Looking at American movies, it is another round of low ebb. When Hollywood's fever subsides in various high-fever themes, biographical films have become the absolute flavoring agent. A quick count of Zola, Gandhi, Mozart, The Last Emperor, Schindler's List, A Beautiful Mind and Capote. In the previous publicity, Sony always secretly claimed to be a "little art production". I'm afraid that the audience's hopes are too big and it will not end well.
The dull movie takes the audience into the five years when Capote wrote "In Cold Blood", and I personally don't think most audiences will put up with the slow pace and crappy characters of this movie. The story begins with the sensitivity of a best-selling author. Capote pays attention to a murder case in the newspaper that kills a whole family. As his interviews and investigations deepen, the plot revolves around the "cold-blooded killer" Perry, who slaughtered a family of four, and the arrogant, arrogant, sensitive , between the mean "cold-blooded writer" Capote, Perry and Capote's similar childhood became the beginning of mutual communication and ended because of each other's "cold blood".
From an objective analysis, "Capote" combines some common advantages of American films, so in the eyes of American critics and award judges, American films have always been the manipulators of the commercial market, and the Oscars are the epitome of catering to the market. Capote can be seen as a selling hybrid from every angle, and over the past two decades, American cinema has shifted from a great chauvinistic view of history to a return to family ethics and further to this year's theme of social tenderness . A closer look at "Capote" seems familiar, there are personality splits in "Beautiful Mind", there are controversial characters in "Sex Book Tycoon", there is the dark theme of "Million Baby", and even the same-sex issue of "Brokeback Mountain", Therefore, it is easier to win the favor of the judges with such a multi-faceted theme, but the viewability from the perspective of ordinary audiences is greatly reduced:
First of all, we can't stand the slow-paced nagging for up to two hours. The audience is completely free to move outside for half an hour during the film screening, and when they come back, they can still speculate on the old-fashioned development of the plot.
Second, the humour of the American South is largely irrelevant to us. Capote's snarky language, sardonic black, Jewish, gay, and lame self-deprecation in a Southern tone has no cultural identities with audiences outside the United States.
Finally, it is the director who wants to express the implicit and obscureness of the theme. Regarding the two "cold-blooded" lines of the plot, the killer is terrifying, but the plot processing is only the final explanation for the character's violent tendencies due to the desire for communication and identification between people.
"Do I have any relatives here?" Perry's desperation made him ask the executioner about to be hanged. His sister would not understand this murderous alien, nor would she have mercy on his death.
"no!"
Then, Perry's body creaked and tore as it swayed with the hanging ropes.
I always hope that Capote can find more kindness in Perry's memories, and I also hope that Capote can find his kindness, but it is only an illusion. It turns out that this gay writer doesn't care about Perry's existence, but just tries to prolong their lives for the creation of "Cold Blood"; As the execution approached, Capote could not bear the psychological condemnation and chose to escape.
Violence, ideological violence, since Capote can't get rid of his inner selfishness, this special feature is revealed tactfully at the end of the movie's plot narrative. We only faintly feel the cold violence coming, although it is ideological, from deep within.
The highlight of the whole play is also the best actor awarded by the Oscars this year - Philip Seymour Hoffman. Potter is vividly presented in front of us, and Capote's character is portrayed in great detail.
Looking at Capote's expression and tone on the screen always reminds me of Cai Kangyong, the host of Taiwan's variety show "Kangxi Is Coming". Maybe he studied in the United States and got too many New York writer habits? Perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to play the oriental version of Capote? Perhaps... Amitabha, I am afraid he has committed anger... (Text/Changyou Fourth Hospital)
