Movie vs Book?
In most movies that are based off a novel, the directors change some of the main fact to make the story more interesting to the viewers. This is the common occurence in recent movies - hardly any of them stick to the cold hard facts. Most book fanatics are usually disappointed by the fact that it didn't keep to the book and every last one of them would say that the book is way better than the movie. This, though, is mostly untrue for In Cold Blood. The movie Capote expresses the same story, with just two different perspectives. The book is from the storyteller/journalist Capote's view which is more jumpy and reporting the facts. On the other hand, the movie is an overview of the step by step process that Capote went through to write In Cold Blood. One of the main differences between Capote (movie) and In Cold Blood is the details that each one includes. Capote speaks more towards the life of Capote and what he went through to get this book out on the shelves, while In Cold Blood goes more into detail about Dick and Perry's lives before committing murder and going to prison - before Kansas. In other words, this movie is a grand and exciting surprise to all In Cold Blood lovers because this movie is based off the cold hard facts and no whishy-washy fake "entertainment."
