The History of Violence meets Capote

The History of Violence in Cold Blood

“More Tiers are shed from prayers that are answered than from prayers that are not”

In Cold Blood, the Book by Truman Capote

  • Perry Smith - The lack of family, different, talented, disconnected, grandiosity disillusioned, able to kill without feeling, disconnected, dreams of fame and superhuman, the rooms in his head, normal

  • Kind and confused and week and abandoned

  • Unable to form human connections, desperate for such a connection

  • Written ilyricalal Verse and song to tell a storey

Truman Capote the Movie (based on Book by Gerald Clarke)

  • Lonely, knew the words, did not care really, did not open up, no family, disconnected, centre of attention, different
  • “He is the best thing about you”
  • Not a loving person, very self-centered
  • we grow up in the same house, I (Truman) walked out the front and Perry walked out the back
  • Very believable, but also a fraud and unbelievable, melodramatic

The history of Violence the Movie (based on Book John Wagner and Vince Locke

  • Escaping the past by abandoning it and moving on
  • Violence that cannot be escaped from
  • Ordinary people can be violent
  • the past meets the present in a moment, an instant everything changes
  • Violence is attractive, it is how we are
  • Kind sweet people can be violent
  • Does the violence, once experienced change everything, anything? What does it change?
  • Great jobbuildingding the tension as the movie moves on

Summary

An interesting Trilogy
