Re: Capote

In reading: In Cold Blood I enjoyed reading it but I also felt that I was reading a novel and it didn't seem like it was real. If that even makes sense. As I reading the story too..I was wondering how he could even write about the criminals. I'm wondering while reading the story how can he know what they're saying and what they are talking about and what they are doing. How did he know what Perry and Dick were saying and doing? It was so interesting that Capote became every character in his story. So he did have to do a great deal amount of research on the Clutter family because there was no way he could interview them because they had already been murdered.
As for watching the movie. I really enjoyed it. It anwsered my questions that I had for: In Cold Blood. The movie focused on Trumans's life and his involvement with Perry and him writing his novel. It seemed that Capote was always the life of the party and he was real funny. I feel sorry for Perry because he was never going to get help and nor did he as a child. He came from a fucked up family and somehow him getting a head injury seem to just mess him up over more.
I was sad seeing Capote cry. It was upsetting seeing that scene when Perry was going to get hanged. I also more interested in the Clutter family. I could be wrong but there might of been more to that family. It seems like they were the perfect family always doing good and being nice to the community however though the wife had a mental illness. It just seems to me that they were personally distant from people. But in public they were very helpful to the community. That was the impression that I got while reading: In Cold Blood.
I enjoyed reading the book and watching the movie.
