Capote is about the cold blooded murders that took place in 1959. These murders happened in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas. Two men entered a small farm house in a effort to get ten thousand dollars. They did not want to get any evidence of their crime so they kill the whole family. Truman Capote learns about these murders when he was writing for the New York Times. He went to this small town to write an article on these murders, but the more he discovers, the more he wants to know. He figures out that this could be the foundation for a great novel. After the two murders are captured, Capote schedules several interviews with these two men. He befriends both of the murderers, but starts to develop a relationship with one of the murders, Perry Smith. Capote starts to help these two individuals, by getting them a new lawyer. Capote soon realizes that he needs these two men to die before his book can be finished. He starts to feel very drained by this whole thing because he wants to finish his book, but he has strong feelings for the men as well. Towards the end of the movie, Capote is even reluctant to tell Smith the name of his book, In Cold Blood, because he doesn't want him to feel bad. The two men are finally executed in 1965. Capote was present at the execution and is finally able to finish his book. It was a huge success and Capote never wrote any more books again.
