Today I saw the film Capote. It was excellent but probably not a blockbuster. It seems to be showing at a limited number of theaters in the area. One interesting aspect was the comparison between Capote and one of the murderers chronicled in his book “In Cold Blood”. They had similar backgrounds including an alcoholic mother and being shunted between different care givers as children. One did poorly and one did very well. Capote described it as if both of them grew up in the same house with the murderer going out the back door and Capote going out the front.
