Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This is a biographical film about Truman Capote, and the events that followed while the novel In Cold Blood. In Cold Blood is a non-fiction novel about the murders of the Clutter family in Kansas. 

This film was directed by Bennett Miller. This film has won countless awards namly for its acting. The story of this film is unique in that as it follows Capote's story and the creation of In Cold Blood, it also briefly follows the criminals Perry Smith and Richard "Dick Hickock. This film's story shows the struggle Capote went through while creating this story. It also shows the unusual relationship he made with the criminals. The ending leaves a question of Capote's true inner nature. The story of the film is slow and relies purely on the actors ability. The simple cinematography keeps to the dark nature of the characters. Philip Seymour Hoffman played the role of Truman Capote. He created a highly charismatic character that is haunted by his past, and whose current motives are unknown. Catherine Keener played the role of Nelle Harper Lee. She was great playing the role of Capote's understandable friend. 

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great dramatic biographical film about Truman Capote and the novel In Cold Blood.
