Capote

In 2005, Dan Futterman wrote the screenplay that was directed by Bennett Miller and Philip Seymour Hoffman breathed life into Truman Capote 1924-1984. The film observes the time that Truman, Capote and Nelle Harper Lee played by Catherine Keener; are researching the Klutter killings in Kansas. Truman Capote forms a relationship with the killers but waits until they’re dead to finish as well as publish his novel In Cold Blood which was the first of its kind; a true crime novel. It was turned into a film in 1967 but this film released in 2005 shows the idiosyncrasies as well as the guilt that Truman Capote felt from forming relationships with these killers that led to his novel.
