In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Every so often, when a book is turned into a movie the movie has many differences from the text. These differences are usually made by the director to make the story more attractive to the audience in an attempt to get more people to see it. The most common difference found in a movie is a intensifying of mood. For example, when a scene is supposed to activate a certain emotion from the viewer it is necessary to bring attention to the causes of said emotion. Dialogue and the visual representations of certain scenes set a tone for the story that may be different from the text. The writers and the director of the movie may choose to remove certain scenes; this overlaps with the theme of building the mood. This happens numerous times in the movie Capote. Certain themes or elements are present in the movie that are not stated or described in the book and vice-versa. Capote, though not an exact replica of In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, is essentially the same story. In Cold Blood is told from mainly two view points; that of the two killers (specifically Perry Smith) and that of the people in the town of Holcomb, Kansas and the surrounding areas. Capote on the other hand is a depiction of Truman Capote’s work in writing In Cold Blood. It follows Truman Capote through the ups and downs of his writing at the same time the “Clutter Case” is being solved. Due to the fact that Capote is not a replicate of In Cold Blood there are several thematic differences. There are also many differences, however, in the way the story is told between the book and the movie. One difference is that of the building of moods. In Capote anytime something bad is happening the setting is dark and dull. This builds the mood in film. One example is that of the morning of November 15th, 1959; the morning the Clutter family was found dead in their home. Capote shows it being dark, cold, and dreary. In Cold Blood, but, speaks
