    A few years ago, because a photographer said that Conrad Hall's photography in this film was great, I just finished watching it in two days. The photography is amazing. Editor Peter Zinner was a co-editor for The Godfather 1 and 2, and won an Oscar for The Deer Hunter. Could the admiration for the film come more from Capote's unread non-fiction book? Because I don't like the actor's performance, it's too revealing and deliberate. There are a lot of places in the editing that feel like an...

    Surprisingly good-looking, apart from the fact that the process of solving the case was too coincidental, the psychological excavation of the two criminals is very exciting, and now it looks very advanced. Many modern movies have the shadow of this...

    The shots are aptly named cold, and the flashback performance can be added. What may be lacking may be the rigid and stereotyped performance of the actors. Capote's non-fiction is naturally more reliable than a screenwriter who likes to...

    Whether you watch this film or "Capote" first, you will feel that the two complement each other. Because of the difference in focus and protagonist, the two films complement each other and restore an American society in the 1950s for us. The latter mainly talks about Capote's role in this murder case. This film focuses on Perry, starting from the perspective of psychoanalysis to tell us how a person with a different life (childhood) experience turned into a...

    It's not new so far, but for the sake of this genre, I'd give it five stars. The lens is fine. The two committed the crime. Screenshot to get the legendary "grass mud...

    The film shares the same theme as the novel, exploring the morality and effectiveness of the death penalty. The film subtly hints at multiple complex relationships between Dick and Perry: from interdependent cooperation to rivalry and mutual same-sex...

    Much better than "Capote", the cinematography, editing, and music are so good, and the atmosphere of the original book is densely presented. In fact, I am more inclined to think that Capote moved his heart of compassion after being in contact with the two criminals for a long time. The original book The painstaking depiction of them in the last few chapters is exemplified by the film's ending, which leaves the audience to consider whether it is justice or cold...

    The end of the original book subtly dispels the gloom of the whole chapter, and the end of the movie is really cold-blooded. The clip at the beginning of the phone call is great, and the flowing light and shadow on the character's face before the execution is also beautiful, it's...

    The moment of murder may be just a cold-blooded act of the two after confirming their eyes, but the appearance of this moment, in addition to the coincidental collision, is more important because of the continuous overlapping of shadows in the growth...

    The film is adapted from the reportage of the same name by the American novelist Capote Truman, and is also a secondary creation based on real events. In the form of a black-and-white documentary, the director watched the process of how the two criminals committed crimes with a cold eye. The style of the whole film is highly realistic and solemn, with a feeling that makes the audience immersive, and also has a chilling...

    Out of control

    The whole film tells a complete crime incident with clever rhythm, familiar subject matter, but handled with space for thought. It's more of a psychological movie than a crime movie.

    When two people who do not have independent criminal personalities cooperate, a third personality is derived, which...

In Cold Blood quotes

  • Prosecutor: Mercy for them. The killers. How fortunate that their amicable attorneys were not present at the Clutter house on that fateful evening. How very fortunate for them that they were not present that evening to plead mercy for the doomed family, because otherwise, they would have found their corpses too. If you allow them life imprisonment, they will be eligible for parole in 7 years. That is the law. Gentlemen, 4 of your neighbors were slaughtered like hogs in a pen by them. They did not strike suddenly in the heat of passion, but for money. They did not kill in vengeance, they planned it for money. And how cheaply those lives were bought. $40. $10 a life. They drove 400 miles to come here. They brought their weapons with them.

    [picks up a shotgun]

    Prosecutor: This shotgun.

    [picks up a knife]

    Prosecutor: This dagger.

    [picks up a rope]

    Prosecutor: This is the rope they hogtied their victims with.

    [picks up a vial of blood]

    Prosecutor: This is the blood they spilled. Herb Clutter's. They who had no pity, now ask for yours. They who had no mercy, now ask for yours. They who shed no tears, now ask for yours. If you have tears to shed, weep not for them, weep for their victims.

    [picks up a copy of the Holy Bible]

    Prosecutor: From the way the Holy Bible was quoted here today, You might think the word of God was written only to protect the killers, but they didn't read you this: Exodus 20:13: "Thou shalt not kill." Or this: Genesis 9:12: "Who so sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed."

  • Dick: [to the prisoner in the next cell] Hey Andy, do them books say what happens when you hang?

    Andy: [smoking cigar] Neck breaks...

    [spits]

    Andy: crap your pants.
