Capote

I watched Capote for my next move review. As an aspiring journalist this movie was very intriguing and motivating. Capote was movie based off the works of a real writer, Truman Capote, who notices an article about a family that was murdered and takes interest in going to research and write his own article about how it’s effecting the town. The situation was more intense then it seemed at first and he decides to write a book about it after speaking with one of the captured murderers, Perry Smith. He becomes very close with him but essentially needs both of the killers to face the death sentence for the perfect ending to his book. This becomes a very complicated conflict.
I thought this was a very gripping intense movie. It gave you the inside looks to the transformation and battles of self Capote had with himself all throughout the movie. He starts off and a very eccentric character not really caring about the characters of his tale so to speak but just the story he could get out of them. This ended up changing drastically as he got closer to the murderers, Perry especially. Towards the end the movie you ended up feeling some form of sympathy for the murderers just as Capote started to abandon both of them after using them so intently as “a gold mine” for research for his book. You really ended up getting an in-depth look at how this true story unfolded and toward the end even the effect it had on the Capote himself. The whole movie was very emotionally triggered I think, sometimes you would even be confused about who to feel sorry for, the poor murdered family, the quiet subtle murderers, or the confused writer. I think it was a wonderful movie and I would highly recommend it to anyone especially those who are looking into journalism.
