A few days ago, I went to my freind’s home and stayed 2days in there. Her home is near by Sang-am cgv,so we went to there to see a movie almost 10 at night. Unfortunately, there was no movie we want to see, but I found the movie seems interesting. I thought it was not such a popcorn movie like always hollywood movies do. you know, sang-am cgv is big so sometimes the movie that seems has no popularity but outstanding is showed.
One day, I watched Academy Awards on TV, and I saw that movie won many prizes. I guessed it was a masterpiece because it wasn’t a blockbuster. Anyway,it is a movie called a ‘Capote’. Capote is a name of a famous writer who wrote ‘Brakfast at Tiffany’s’ and etc. This movie is saying about the relationship between good and bad by showing Capote’s feelings. He read news article that there is a murder case in peaceful farm that people usually called ‘out there’. A family was kiled very cruelly, so he went there with his friend, Nell.
Capote met two killers,and he payed attention one killer who was an introvert person,so he was tempted to make a striking novel after meet him,then he tried make a good relationship with the killer,Ferry Smith. Actually, they met for the sake of each other’s ‘interests’. Capote wanted to make a masterpiece, and Smith wanted to live using Capote’s fame, but they felt that they had someting in common, especially their in childhood. Capote gradually felt pity to Smith, but also felt worldliness.
Capote was trying to hide his book name,’In cold blood’ and Smithe was also trying to hide the truth that happened that day. As time goes by, a suit became longer, so Capote felt suffering because of Smith. If Smith died, Capote could finish the novel, but he knew that he might feel guilty conscience to wish Smith’s dead.
One day, pressing by nervous of danger that might be dead Smith confessed the truth to Capote,and Capote got unforgettable mental shock after Smith’s confession. Originally, Smith was not want to kill that family, but he felt ashamed because they treated him as a cruel man, so he killed them by shooting. At that moment after realizes Smith’s motive to murder, Capote was very confused, becuse he become know suddenly how he faced Smith who treat Capote as a friend, and faced mean desires his inside that wanted to hide.
Smith didn’t help the rescue of Smith, so Smith was condemned by hanging. Capote didn’t want to see Smith’s dead, but he went there because of..Smith’s true mind. Smith thought Capote as a real freind. Smith was died,and Capote could finish the book,then he earn enormous mount of money,fame. However, he didn’t..no, couldn’t write even just one book, and dead living an alcoholic. It was such a frightening end! I was chilled with fright.
To tell the truth, I am not sure about the truth between the relationship Capote and Smith, like the novel that true and a fake was tied cleverly that was written by Capote, but it seems obvious that the thing a man get near to ‘the truth about oneself’, and it’s tormenting to know what is ‘the truth’ that every novelists’ goal.
It’s an impossible to turn away my eyes from the screen while I see the movie. Although it has no fantastic visual factor, it’s not a fast-moving paced movie, It focused on the relationship between 2 mans and thh change of their mind, so it might boring,but I like it!Because it made me think a lot, I like it and another things like the way of showing the move, a delicate metaphor.( I have intereted about metaphor since one year ago) I also impressed about main actor’s acting abillity. He won the male actor prize, he deserves it. He’s amazing!
I think it represents a contradiction very well. Capote wanted desire and friendship both, but he could make only one, so he regrets. It is a topic that arouse everyone’s sympathy, I don’t understand well, but I could feel it. Seeing ‘Capote’ I felt that the moment in life could be the whole life. It is an observation of paradox that creation and ruin comes at the same time. You should try that!
you know what, the truth is ‘out there’.
