Reply #17: I enjoyed both movies [View All]

They have both been playing on cable recently so I've had the opportunity to view both a number of times. I like both. It's interesting to see the same peice of Truman Capote's life portrayed in 2 different ways. The character of Truman Capote as portrayed in "Infamous", to me, is much more charming and likeable that the character portrayed in "Capote". Unfortunately I don't remember much about the "real" Truman Capote, although I'm sure I saw him on the Tonight show at some point while he was alive.

The book, as I remember it, was quite compelling. Capote initiated a whole new genre of literature, nothing like "In Cold Blood" has been published prior to his book. But writing it, and his relationship with the book and the killers, brought him to ruin.

According to my cable guide, the film adaptation of "In Cold Blood" will be showing on MSNBC on 5/3 and 5/4. Catch it if you can.
