In fact, anyone who has some experience in watching movies knows that a film like "Capote" is destined to win awards. Whether it is the best director, the best drama or the best actor, any one is nominated or even won. It is reasonable. Therefore, at the beginning of the year, the author predicted Hoffman’s victory without watching the film. This has nothing to do with my judgment, but it just means that I was guided by public opinion at that time.
After more than half a year, I finally sat in front of the computer and watched this "Capote" quietly. In all fairness, the words at the beginning of the year were quite pertinent. Hoffman really constituted the material of an actor, especially for him. This bizarre writer played-Capote.
There is no need to repeat the life of the writer Capote. Many sources are easy to find. There is no need to elaborate on the plot and Capote’s "Cold-blooded" masterpiece. It is nothing more than the cold-blooded murderer or the cold-blooded writer. So, let's just take out a few environments to talk about, because these environments without exception can highlight Capote's own character, a writer with multiple personalities.
Capote's appearance is a central figure. He has acrimonious words and is the only one in this cultural salon. This is a kind of publicity. According to the general plot, this kind of weird publicity must be the lack of personality behind it. There is no doubt that it has been written in the biographies of many film and television works. .
As a result, the place of Salon became Capote’s first important place. He must be open, and must relentlessly attack anyone whom he looks down on. This does not mean that he has to express his own ideas, but only It is to show one's own strength.
The more inferior people are, the more this kind of psychological complex is possessed. This is also unquestionable.
Therefore, in salons, chants, usually in front of many people, Capote must make himself the center and the focus of everyone's attention.
But he is actually insignificant. When he was no longer the protagonist at the premiere of "Kill a Mockingbird", he became jealous because of this, but he still doubted it with a mocking tone. The excitement and happiness of others, in fact, he is questioning himself.
The second scene that Capote often appears is of course private space, such as a hotel, a seaside with fake stories, and so on. But when it comes to this scene, the third scene of prison must be brought up together, so that it is easy to make a comparison.
In the private space, there are only Capote’s trusted boyfriend and Faxiao. In front of these two people, Capote can’t hide himself, so his fragility is exposed. Similarly, his truest side is the most practical. The idea also appeared in these scenes.
Capote deceived Perry in order to complete his novel, but only in this private space did he know how similar he actually was to Perry, an abnormal childhood, sensitive nerves, all of which were so realistic. Even the reality is that hiring a lawyer for Perry is so cold and ruthless.
But this is not the case in prison. Perry's past and sensitive consciousness are very acquainted with Capote. He even fell in love with this person. This has nothing to do with his gay identity, but just because of his past.
A person who was dissatisfied with the past, so he imposed this kind of natural sympathy on Perry. Some people said that this was just a gesture made by Capote to write a novel, but the author believes that when Capote When Te sat with Perry alone, there was nothing false, he was just talking to his past.
Once a person is faced with a story similar to his own past, he will definitely want to understand and dig out, and Capote is no exception in this regard. Therefore, although Capote in prison was deceiving Perry, he paid for it with true feelings.
At this time, he seemed to be a god, saving not only Perry but also his terrible past.
But the reality is so cruel. Instead of saving his soul, he could save his career. So Capote stopped going to see Perry and he didn't pay the lawyer's fees. This is a contradictory individual, who wants to say goodbye to his past, but also wants to find comfort for his past bad feelings.
The last part of Capote and Perry was in front of the gallows, watching Perry's body shake before everyone's eyes, Capote not only blamed himself, but looked at his past death.
But after a person's past death, what else can this person have? Is it a stronger loneliness?
Capote used Perry's story to complete his memorial to the past. After that, he had nothing, and could not write anything anymore, so he could only get drunk.
This is Capote, who wraps himself in an outsider's story, and hides his truth with reality. In the end, he is abandoned by himself, and his sensitivity is closed with the opening of the hinge.
To paraphrase fashionable words, this is a story of two men! Sensitivity, loneliness, fragility, conscience, reality, etc. present a contradictory capote in front of us, and at the same time create a new acting star Hoffman!
The film ends here, and the souls of the Clark family of four are responsible for Perry's death, because people like Perry, either survive or destroy, lack only a fuse. The same is true for Capote, just in a different form!
