Re-reading Arthur Miller's The death of a Salesman with background music from Mozart's Requiem. (oh, what a perfect match)
I must say i still believe The death of a Salesman is the most powerful play i ever read or watch, or i should say it is also the most powerful piece of literature i ever read. It's surpised to see how precious Mr. Miller's observation on the dark side of marketing economy and how it can ruin a human up side down.
Highly recommended.
As an investigative reporter for several years, i find echo from the movie. BTW, movie is well made with wonderful acting performance from Hoffman and all the sidecast, esp Catherine Keener.
But what fascinate me is how Mr. Capote dealing with the material( the criminals) and his non-fictional novel( the book). There is is no doubt that Capote created the genre of non-fictional novel which affect the development of journalism.
I am sure he experienced paradox or dilemma of writing a non-fictional novel. To know what i really mean, you can simply ask him wether it is easy to make a conclusion or judgment on the criminal? or Did you find any difficulty on doing so? Well, I believe he will say yes.
Non fictional novel is written with bias and judgment in no doubt, that's why it's so fascinating to read. Mr Capote in the movie obviously experienced heavy moral struggle. That's why he is not willing to let the criminals get to know the name of the book , coz he feels "guilty" of having that book name and the novel details in it.
I think the movie can be better by elaborating or exploring more dark side of a human mind on the gray zone between the truth and the novel by detailing how Mr. Capote dealing with his inner struggle.
