Capote

The film follows author Capote's creation of In Cold Boold, from how it sparked the idea, through the research process, and finally closing the pen. The cause of the incident was a burglary-murder case in Kansas where the entire family was shot and killed by the robber. Capote went for an interview with another writer, Harper Lee. When he met the murderer, Perry Smith, he was attracted by his melancholy and susceptible temperament, and had the idea to write the most important book of his life. First he made friends with Perry Smith and earned his trust. Sentences were too quick, and he used his influence to get a lawyer for them. However, as the years continued, he was finally about to be torn apart by his desire to finish the book as soon as possible and his feelings for Perry...

On the eighth day mm once wrote a review about this film, Some background about the book itself and the main content of the film are detailed. I don't think I can write better than her, so I'll just say a few words.

Capote to Nelle: "Jack says I'm using Perry, but he also thinks I fell in love with him when I was in Kansas. How both of those things can be true is beyond me." Jack is right, in fact This is the crux of the film. Capote just wouldn't admit it, he wouldn't admit either. He is selfish.

I like Nelle a lot. Not only because she's the author of To Kill a Monkingbird - in fact I've only seen the movie, not the book - but mostly because she's very gentle, but also sharp-eyed, direct-speaking, and to the point.

At the end of the film, Capote is very saddened by Perry's death, saying that nothing I can do will help them. Nelle simply said, "Maybe not. But you did not want to." This reminds me of an old movie, A Place in the Sun. George, a young man, came to the city to fight, and after making the female worker Alice pregnant, he fell in love with the beautiful rich girl Angela. Seeing that the humble Alice will be a hindrance to other people's good fortune, George decides to get rid of her. Alice accidentally fell into the water while the two were boating on the lake. George was sentenced to death for murder. Before the execution, he said to the priest who came to listen to his confession, I really didn't push her into the water. The pastor asked, "But at that moment, do you want her to die? If you think that, you're guilty." In that moment, the true thoughts of the heart define the nature of the matter.
