Jobs' anniversary has just passed, and a new round of "Jobs Biography" reading boom has been set off again.
===================================================== ==
Death is a proposition that human beings can never avoid. The exploration and interpretation of death is the ultimate meaning of philosophy, science, religion and art. To put it bluntly, I don't know what to die, how can I know what to live? And dying is never a good thing. Whether it's a celebrity like Steve Jobs, a killer like Perry, or an ordinary person like the victim's family, whether it's death, homicide, or suicide.
Capote wants to make a biography of a cold-blooded killer. The title of "Cold Blood" was his own idea, but in the face of the killer, he explained that it was the name that the publisher chose to please readers.
This little plot is very interesting. What did Capote smell from a murder? He smelled the complexity of human nature - which is about the inspiration for everyone who writes a book. He also smelled an opportunity to make him famous again. Do not deny the latter. Capote has a deep understanding of the laws of society, which makes him easy to navigate in Vanity Fair. But facing the prisoner himself, he was ashamed to admit that he had used him, and he lied.
I think of Steve Jobs. If he was still alive, how many would read his biography? I imagined a publisher who had everything ready before Steve Jobs was terminally ill, just waiting for him to die, with golden eyes, knowing that this book, relying on the media, was overwhelming and exaggerated dozens of times about the person. Beautify, even people who don't usually read books will want to see it.
In a consumer society, some people are consuming dead people, and some people are consuming homicides and death row prisoners. In this segment of the consumption chain, the death row perry is the weakest at the end.
I'm not saying Capote is a smug vested interest. Nor can I say that the publisher of Jobs' biographies wanted to kill him for money.
Likewise, we should condemn those who speak coldly in the face of suicide, but I can't say that those netizens who are called perpetrators are responsible for a person's death.
Cold blood had already flowed in the body of a murderer.
Illness has been eroding Jobs' life.
And the idea of suicide exists in a person's mind long before those bad words come out.
It's all just a matter of time. The timing came, sorry...
Back to the movie, the writing process like this made Capote miserable. Finally knowing what happened that night, he still didn't want Perry to die. Yes, death is not a good thing, and the same is true for a killer.
"We came from the same world, and one day he got up and walked out the back door, and I walked out the front door"
"If only Perry didn't choose this path," Capote thought all the time.
Why do similar life experiences lead people to different life paths? All I can say is that everyone makes different choices.
Why does perry kill. Because at that moment "a good man looked at me with that look".
Psychological analysis is omitted here.
Capote and Perry, they also had childhoods that were constantly being abandoned and sensitive and fragile hearts. They both hoped to get the attention of others - standing on the podium, facing the spotlight, and using exaggerated language to call the curtain. The difference is that Capote chose to write and Perry chose to kill. He saw his own evil in the eyes of a good man, and the moment he took up the gun, he gave up on himself.
In a single thought, a person gave up the opportunity to be a good person. In a single thought, a person gave up his own life. These are the choices they make with their lives.
I went to Tianya to read that post and felt very sad.
Who has never had a moment of despair in their life? No matter how many times in my life of less than 30 years, I feel that I can't go on, and I have nowhere to go. Presumably you and I are the same. After getting through that time, I will live like this. Presumably you and I are the same, and finally chose to live a good life. It's just that some people, at the same moment, chose to give up on themselves.
We are always responsible for our choices. By choosing to write such a book, Capote chose to torture himself mentally. Perry chose to kill and must be punished.
The suicidal person may have chosen to let malicious netizens stab him in his heart, rather than those who persuade him with good intentions. He is also responsible for his own choices.
Dying is not a good thing. Many people are posted on forums, written into books, or made into movies after they die, but how many spectators can understand them correctly, as they want to be understood?
I don't know what Capote himself would think of the movie "Capote" if Huang Quan knew.
