Capote

October 11, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I thought this was a great film; the screenwriter did an excellent job capturing an important event of Capote’s life and writing over those five years. As I sat there watching this movie, I felt somewhat chilled by the actual murder, yet drawn in to feel empathetic for the bond between Capote and one of the killers named Perry. We get to know Capote; his social personality, witty sense of humour and a great willingness to connect with people. Capote definitely found his way into my good books.
