Capote is a part of everyone of us

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2006)

Wow! What a great movie! Perfect acting by all actors, a great plot, because it's coming from reality, from the life of someone and a lesson of how to make a movie with soul. Capote is everyone of us. Tell me, aren't you fascinated by the unknown? By the people who did something good or bad, right or wrong? By their minds? Well, maybe you're not so addicted to this kind of knowledge and it's nothing bad. Capote is a journalist, in the first place. His relation with Perry Smith, the bastard that killed four people, it's the same relation that the mass-media from our present time it's using with their news-subjects. Capote it's a great writer, no doubt about it, but this movie isn't a simple frame from a great man's life, the most important picture from his biography. It represents more than that. The job of Truman Capote has been continued by the today's media..."In cold blood" it's what people wants, the watchers, the readers, the listeners, they are all "slaves" in this brainwashing program initiated by the media from almost any place in the world. We like killers, violence, blood. Just to see it, not to feel it. That's OK, but there are many more things to watch...Good things, great things. Back to "Capote"...I'll say that the relation between Capote and Perry Smith it's the same with the relation between media and their sources of news. Exploited? Yes, Capote has exploited Perry Smith, but never left him alone. Even when Smith was executed, Capote was there. Actually, i didn't read "In cold blood". Any book that describes the crimes of a young thief isn't my style...Inside the mind of a criminal? The movie doesn't want to show Perry Smith's real face, or that even a "in cold blood" killer has his "good side". Truman Capote it's a man that discover his masterpiece in writing in the eyes of a killer. Perry Smith's life isn't special. A thief that become a killer. There are many others bastards that follow the same black direction. The line between stiling and killing it's so thin! The regrets are useless. This movie evocate a person with the gift from God. A writer that could transform the banal story of a killer in something special, in something remarkable, in a lesson for the others it deserves RESPECT. So they given to Truman Capote, the writer of "In cold blood", perhaps the most known book from the United States literature a lot of respect, a great commemoration-A movie for the Oscar 2006-Go CAPOTE!(Capote...sounds a little Italian-Mobster-Godfather-Name?)-Escuse my bad English, i'm an amateur!
