I watched the movie In Cold Blood that was created fromt the book written in 1967 by Truman Capote. This movie was based on a horrible murder of the Clutter family of four in Holcomb, Kansas that happened in 1959. The family was the picture of normalcy...they didn't exhibit one sign of why someone would want to kill them. Mr. Clutter runs the farm that the family lives on and he takes care of his wife Mrs. Clutter along with their children Nancy and Kent. Nancy and Kent seem like they have a great life ahead of them. The two murderers are Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. Dick is an ex convict who met a man in prison who used to work with Mr. Clutter; this man informed him that Mr. Clutter kept a great amount of money in his house on the farm. After Dick hears this information he decides to rob the clutter family. Dick then calls his old friend Perry and invites him to help him with robbing the Clutters and for doing this would give him half the money. Hearing this news, Perry, who is addicted to asprin and thinks he is a great guitar player, decides to accept. Part of Dick and Perry's plan is to murder the family and leave no witnesses. They go through with this crime of murdering and robbing the family but each one seems to have their doubts.
The movie was very intersting to watch. I wonder if this could happen to any family these days; i guess after watching this I asked myself who would give information out about my family--I know it sounds far fetched but no one thought that it would happen to the Clutter family either. I think that I would like to read the book and see how it compares to the movie.
