Finding Capote The film about the life of the star of American literature was based on recently surfaced recordings of interviews of journalist George Plimpton with friends and acquaintances of the writer, including those very “swans” (more like offended vipers). But there is a lot of Truman Capote himself - short people with a thin voice and a huge supply of sarcasm. He leads a life of Holly Golightly’s dreams: ladies in pearls, boat trips to Italy, a party of the century he arranged – a black and white ball in a New York hotel, where there were more diamonds than in a Tiffany window.
Truman Garcia Capote, born Truman Streckfus Persons, is an American novelist, playwright of theater and film; many of his short stories, novels, plays, and documentaries are recognized as literary classics, including the novel Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the documentary novel Murder in Cold Blood (1966). A cult writer, a master of words and sentences. This film tries to understand Capote through his last, unfinished novel.
The novel “Heard prayers” promised to be the pinnacle of the career of Truman Capote – the saga about the high society of America from the pen of the writer, rotating in the circle of the richest and most sophisticated women of New York, whom he called his “swans”. After years of talking about a nearly finished book, Capote only published a couple of chapters — and the scandal erupted: too many found in the characters unpleasant resemblance to themselves. He was banished from secular society, self-destructed, and died, leaving the world to wonder if the novel actually existed or if it never progressed beyond a few dozen pages. “Heard prayers” is a novel about mother, bohemian, time and era, the prototype of the “reality show”. Perhaps the most important thing is not in this movie. In parallel with this, the authors briefly tell the biography of Capote, the history of the creation of his major works ("Cold-Blooded Murder" wrote for 6 years), and some facts from his life that his true fans will like - in the "literary plan". The story of Capote the child, abandoned by his mother on relatives in the Alabama wilderness (and later survived her suicide). He is said to have traveled all his life with a box of dried ginger cookies made by one of his aunts. The story of a Capote man ("slippery type" with one of the nicknames - "Candied Tarantula") with a challenge presented his comical appearance and his homosexuality in conservative at the time America. In the film, he is called an "incredible gossip" and New York is a special city in this film: "where you deserve to be accepted and loved." In the film, interviews are given in particular - writer Colm Toibin, as well as "adopted daughter" Capote, who talks about life with him. The authors make a small but "deep sketch" on such a mysterious and mysterious figure as the Truman Capote. The film discusses who he really was - a strange guy from the South of America, or "the genius of his time." This film will be interesting to everyone who likes to just read, read American literature, students and schoolchildren, as well as personal fans of his work. The film argues that the true Capote is in the novel “Cold-Blooded Murder”. For each Capote - opens in its own way, and that is the most important thing.
