"In Cold Blood" Review


"In Cold Blood" is a tragic story of two men, Eugene Hickock and Perry
Edward, who murder an entire family in search of money and then find themselves
running from the law. While writing the book, Truman Capote used only facts to
create a novel out of an actual event. He had thousands of notes on the subject,
but his problem was making his book read like a novel. He accomplished this by
adding dialogue and describing characters feelings. This technique is used in
the film as well when flashbacks of characters childhoods are shown.

The different plots are handled very well in the movie. The main plot
obviously is the murders and the run from the law. Other subplots that are
shown are Smith's internal fight with his past in which his father deserted him,
and at one point, had a gun pointed to his head. Also there appears to be
tension between Smith and Hickock. They think differently at times, especially
when it comes to the discussion of the crime.......
