I watched "Infamous" before watching this one and in that movie I think you get why Capote has sympathy for Perry Smith and you find him more endearing (or maybe it's just because Daniel Craig played Perry and I find him endearing to begin with).
A lot of people have compared both movies to say which is better, but they're both so different in approaching the story that I couldn't compare. I thought "Infamous" had better character development for Capote and gave you better insight into the killers. I felt like "Capote" did a better job of showing his demise and anguish from getting involved with the killers and a better job of showing what he did to write the story. -

Why would it be necessary to "endear" either Capote or Perry to the audience? I dont get it. Especially with the expert character development these two are treated to here.

I was surprised by how slow this film is, and I'm normally very easygoing as far as biopics go. You see, it wasn't until the last 30 minutes that this film started coming to life, but even then I found myself oddly disengaged from wanting to tap into Truman Capote's conflicted, distraught mindset as the executions neared.

Yeah, Capote is unlikable. The two murderers are unlikable. There was no one in his movie for me to really connect to. Maybe I still could have enjoyed the story, but for some reason I didn't. I just feel like I needed a character to realate to, to really like the movie. As it was it was just OK.

That's fine. It was a docudrama of a despicable murder case. Hoffmans performance was brilliant, but the film was very cold and detached, as it should have been. In Cold Blood is a cold work.
I think the film just wanted to take you into the mindset of Capote and Perry, whether you liked them or not.

How did not the movie make u feel any sympathy for the murderers?
i think the hanging scene where Perry is happy to see the officer that arrested him and wanted to shake his hand was very touching. This is one of the best movies i ever seen and i havent even read in cold blood yet. masterpiece, loved it!
