(Actually, this bloody case is very similar to the second half of the famous BL comic "New York, New York" by Marima Luo Chuan. Mel was kidnapped, but Ken continued to pursue it, which brought out the tragic experience of the serial killer and the perverted psychology to form the story. It's a coincidence. The thing is, the killer in the comics also has an older sister and a younger brother.)
Going far, in fact, the focus of the movie is not the case. One clue is that the murderer gradually revealed his past and the process of committing the crime to Capote. Another clue is that Capote was contacting with impure purposes and obtained the murder After Perry's trust, he found that because of his childhood experience similar to Perry's, he had developed a far beyond normal level of sympathy, and thus also plunged himself into a psychological vicious circle. He was looking forward to Perry's death sentence for the normal publication of his "Cold Blood", but on the other hand, in order to obtain the final truth, he also helped them appeal again and again for the sake of his subconscious sympathy and friendship. Among the contradictions, during this six-year torture, Capote himself was on the verge of collapse, and after witnessing Perry's hanging, his book was successfully published and sold, winning him all the honor and fame and fortune. , but all his talent and control of words seemed to die with Perry at that moment when the rope was tightened. After the publication of "In Cold Blood", Capote made no further achievements in literature, but fell into a state of decadence. The use of Perry's friendship for the sake of fame and fortune tortured his conscience. He once felt that he and Perry were The kid of a family who just walked out the front door and Perry went out the back and that's how he took advantage of his brother and watched him die, as his buddy Harper Lee said "the fact that You don't want them to live any longer."
But from another perspective, Perry's friendship with Capote will not be so simple. At first, it was a life-saving straw caught by a dying person. When he kept appealing for him, he saw the hope of appealing. But at the moment of the death penalty, Capote has become the only outlet for all of Perry's feelings, and as for whether his own book can be sold or what he has written, it will not be too big for a dead person. of value. If Capote could step out of his own paranoia and think differently, perhaps there would be less pain.
From the movie, I thought of another question. If I have a chance to get close to Ma Jiajue before the execution, I will also be very interested to dig out the story behind this, his childhood, his school life, his motives, his escape, and even Maybe there is also his potential homosexual tendencies, instead of my speculation after seeing those programmed reports, this is a good subject for literature and movies, but sadly and ridiculously, I only saw one Chinese movie. Another series of "House of Flying Daggers" or "The Promise".
