Netizens are still more fair, and they think that the biggest fatal injury of Oscar this year is that it is too small, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. When Phillip Seymour Hoffman came out to receive the best actor award, I would say loudly like Stewart: Yes who know who this is stocky, please raise your hands
in order to prove that this is a deserved winner, upon her throat to speak Ye Hao, Ye Hao orchid fingers, twisting ass walk or, according to all that my foot posture, There is no overkill, it is necessary to introduce the hero of the movie-Truman Capote.
In Norman Miller's words, this is the most talented writer in the United States, and his most famous novel, In Cold Blood, has become a watershed in American literature. From then on, whether it is a documentary novel or a report novel, it counts. Formally boarded the hall of "novel", deriving many complicated factions, and playing a variety of flowers.
But like many geniuses, Capote’s childhood was not smooth. His mother gave birth to him at 17. Like many teenage mothers, she didn’t have the energy and mood to take care of her son. He was busy making men and dating. What? I left Capote alone in the hotel for several days. It wasn't until adopted by his stepfather that Capote got this surname and at the same time got a complete family.
But the shadow of childhood has had a huge impact on Capote's future personality. He is sensitive and intelligent by nature, literate at the age of 5, can write at the age of 8, and won the first prize in the composition competition at the age of 12. At the age of 17, he was determined to be different. Before graduating from high school, he dropped out to work for the magazine New Yorker. At the age of 18, he won the O'Henry Award for his short story Miniam, and has since emerged and attracted the attention of the literary world. At the age of 23, a book of Other Voice, Other Rooms made him the darling of the book market.
Perhaps it was because his childhood was too lonely. Capote loved to be lively, social, and attracted attention all his life. He said: "I and the camera-any camera fell in love." This hobby, even when he is old and declining. The time has not changed. To say that Capote really has a book that has been carefully written, that is, In Cold Blood.
Capote, who is unwilling to take the usual path, is determined to write a novel that is unique, trying to apply all the creative methods and techniques of novels to write a news report, but it reads like a novel. This is the so-called Non-fiction Novel. . Out of this idea, Capote has been following the news, and his opportunity soon came.
In 1959, Haosheng gave birth to a murderous murder in Kansas. Two young men brutally killed a family of four. As the motive of the murder became a mystery, Capote's attention was drawn, and he rushed to the scene to learn about the situation. He also interviewed the prisoner. For the next 6 years, he devoted himself to the case, analyzing the case and also analyzing the prisoner. He claimed to have taken down more than 6,000 pages of notes. In 1966, the novel In Cold Blood was finally published. Copote has gained both fame and fortune. However, after this book, Capote has never published any books, publicly addicted to alcohol and drugs, and living a life of drunk and gold became all of Capote.
On August 25, 1984, the controversial maverick writer died at a friend's house.
Capote said: "I am an alcoholic, I am a drug addict. I am a gay. I am a genius." True. Since the movie is crowned with the names of the characters, it should of course be a legend, but the director did not spend any words to describe Capote’s childhood, youth and old age, his love career and life, but cut from the point of In Cold Blood and adopted Capote's concept uses a completely dramatic model to lead the audience to guess the unknown inner world of Capote.
Perry Smith and Capote appeared simultaneously. On the one hand, the tragedy happened, on the other hand, Capote talked loudly on the celebrity party. After seeing the news, he voluntarily asked to go to the scene to understand the situation. He was also accompanied by female writer Helle Hapert Lee. Since Capote is gay, I also found it strange at first-is it necessary to solemnly arrange this female character? However, as the plot unfolds, through this Capote childhood playmate, and also a lifelong friend (seriously, some irresponsible translators of BS actually said that Lee was Capote’s "assistant", who was the celebrity of HollyWood at the time. "Killing the Mockingbird" is out of handwriting with her) The conversation with Capote gives us a glimpse of the other side of Capote, Capote in front of Lee, which will be sad.
In the course of the investigation, Capote, who was dressed in unusual clothes, had a weird voice, and was full of sissy, was not accepted at first, but Capote has his own charm. He told different people some of his childhood experiences in a sincere and frank tone. It made him mention the trust of the deceased’s friend and the policeman who handled the case. They provided him with some information, which made Capote more curious about the mentality of the perpetrator. He even gave up the opportunity to spend Christmas with his boyfriend for this matter, which shows how much Capote attaches importance to this planned book.
Later, the two criminals were arrested. When Capote saw Perry Smith at first glance, it was like finding a treasure. He tried to get close to Smith and let him provide material for his book. There are two criminals. Why is Capote interested in Smith alone? Because Capote smelled his own smell on Smith, this commonality prompted him to believe that he could understand Smith. Facts have proved that Capote's intuition is correct. In Smith's narration, Capote also reviewed his childhood. The past was overlapped in a wonderful way in a celebrity and a prisoner waiting to die. Humanity-Capote found the subject he wanted, and he was more eager to explore the "gold mine" of Smith. Not only did he save Smith's life, he also took the initiative to help Smith find a lawyer to appeal. Although Capote left Smith to Spain in order to accompany her boyfriend, he still maintains close correspondence with Smith. After the High Court sentenced Smith to death, Capote went back to see Smith. The title of In Cold Blood has been set, and the first three parts have been completed. The only thing missing is the last part, which is the process of the crime. He must let Smith tell the truth while he is still alive. However, facing Smith's identity, in addition to being a biographer, he is also a "friend", so he can't let Smith know what kind of story he wrote.
However, because of Capote's public speech, Smith discovered that the book's name was In Cold Blood, and he felt betrayed by Capote. Even if Capote was good at lying, he couldn't easily save Smith's heart. He found Smith's sister and asked her for some previous photos. Smith’s sister said that she was completely disappointed with this younger brother. In her heart, her younger brother was a monstre who didn’t blink. Capote didn’t try to redeem this idea. She just showed Smith the photo and told him that his sister had still Miss him very much. So Smith told Capote the whole story.
The truth is cruel.
After the book was published, Capote refused to appeal to a lawyer for Smith, and he even avoided Smith's call. Until Smith sent a telegram to Lee, with the latter's persuasion, Capote went to see Smith for the last time and watched him execute. Before he died, Smith did not say the prepared speech-he was already ready to die, it was Capote who gave him hope of life, although he guessed it was a deception, he still regarded Capote as a friend and thanked him .
Capote said to Smith "I'm at work", but the similar experience made Capote sympathize with Smith as if he pityed himself. Realizing that Capote’s affection for Smith is different, Lee asked, "Did you fall in love with him?" Capote's answer was wonderful. He said, "We are children living in the same house, but he came out through the back door. I walked by the front door". It can also be said that Lee shared his childhood with Capote, and Smith and Capote shared their childhood experiences. These two people are destined to be the closest to him in mind.
From the perspective of the director, this incident undoubtedly became a turning point in Capote's life. After Smith’s death, Capote bought a bottle of apple puree—the one he fed Smith to him when Smith was about to commit suicide and saved Smith from despair—filled it with wine and leaned back on the sofa. Eat slowly. That night was the premiere of "Killing the Mockingbirds". For the first time, Capote, who likes to lively, had unbearable pain in his eyes.
Regardless of the facts, this film shows Capote's multiple personalities through these half-truths. Capote’s film is like In Cold Blood’s book, with a calm perspective and smooth narrative, it creates a real atmosphere and contains the power to hit people's hearts (the book must be recommended to read the original version, Capote in the literature The above has a tendency to be "perfect", and the rhythm of the original text is difficult to express in the translation).
After watching BBM (brokeback moutain) for the third time, if I was in charge, then the best movie of all film festivals this year should be it. Oscar alone should be excluded because the director of BBM is too calm and feeling too tolerant. The details are too concealed, the centrifugal spirit is too close, and the entertainment is too far away. But after watching Jon's performance at the awards ceremony, I suddenly found that BBM can at least play a self-entertainment effect on Oscar, the most gay of this year. So, the one with the least "best movie" should be Capote. Capote is the same as BBM, and the camera is very forbearing. If Ang Lee occasionally loses control in BBM (such as the scene where Ennis is going to beat his wife), then every line of Bennett Miller is carefully designed-Oscar is full this year The incomprehensible things, Trumanism in Good Luck and Good Night (GLGN), Ennis' cowboy accent in BBM, and the details in Capote.
For example, when Capote found a lawyer for Smith, his boyfriend said, "Did you find a lawyer?" Capote replied, "I found a lawyer for them, not for myself. This is different." There is also Alvin in After knowing the title of the book, he asked Capote "Which one is cold-blooded? Is it a crime, or are you going to continue to contact with the crime?" Because at the scene of the crime, Capote once went to see the corpse, and his expression was quite wonderful at the time. At that time, the word "cold blood" took root in his mind. In the United States, first-degree murder, that is, deliberate murder, will be sentenced to death, while second-degree murder is not. Smith was sentenced to first-degree murder at first, and Capote asked him to appeal for a second-degree sentence. But Capote wants Smith to appeal in order to buy time to get the material. If he wants to write a wonderful book, Smith must be deliberate. So if Capote’s book is published, even if Smith’s first-degree murder is settled, he will immediately be dragged to execution, and vice versa. If Smith’s appeal is successful, then the story of Capote’s hard work for several years will no longer have a sensational effect. . It can be said that Capote sacrificed Smith for his honor and ambition.
For example, after Smith uttered the word effectuated, Capote repeated it to Lee, because this word is not an everyday word, it is more professional and elegant, so Capote has a surprised expression on his face. For Capote, Lee is more like a compass of conscience. In the development of the plot, her words and actions have unusual meanings and need to be experienced with heart. Although the "sorrowful" has been popular in the past two years, black-and-white GLGN, black-and-white Munich, and a dark-toned Capote—empty and dark wheat fields, cramped cell courts, crowded parties, monotonous rooms, close-ups that emphasize the sense of privacy The lens, the dark tone, the rough graininess-it is too gloomy. This Sonny's small production literary film, despite its exquisite structure and good intentions, it was unexpected that Oscar was frustrated.
It is also reasonable for Pillip to get the golden man. Capote in reality reminds me of Cai Kangyong in reality. Of course, Cai Kangyong is not as "mother" as Capote, but both have a lonely childhood and a wealthy youth, the same maverick, and the same fate for women. I like to play the role of an outsider, I am writing a book from the perspective of a bystander, and in a mocking tone. Tsai Kangyong's "True Feeling Index" is always capable of making people tell the truth, "You have to look into their eyes", this is his magic weapon, and the eyes behind Capote lenses are always wise and sharp. In reality, Capote is slender and beautiful than Phillip, but Phillip not only imitated Capote’s dress, imitated his tone, his southern accent, imitated his every move, imitated his nose-sniffing action, but also attributed the kind to " The temperament of "homosexuality, literati and genius" is just right. Any acting skills are just "experts" tricks to fool people. Just compare Cai Kangyong, who is still active on the stage, with the Capote on the screen to see the eyebrows of their "type of people". , That Shen Yun, you know how well Phillip Hoffman should have held this little golden figure.
For a character who once existed in reality, the most difficult part in acting is not to imitate, but to recreate while imitating, to change and subvert the character's specific impression of certain people. Many years later, when talking about Capote, maybe everyone will think of just Hoffman, who is wearing glasses, pointing up orchid fingers, and speaking shrillly.
