I haven't seen this movie, and I must be wrong about this, but I thought Truman Capote slept with gay men and then killed them? I might be thinking of a different person, but I could have sworn this was him...
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villan. The Dark Knight
That is entirely inaccurate. Truman Capote was gay and had a long-term lover, but he never killed anyone. I think you must be confusing him with someone else. He did INTERVIEW many killers, including Perry Smith ("In Cold Blood") and Bobby Beausoleil of the Manson Family, but he was not himself a criminal.
Well my mom described Dahmer as blonde with glasses, and I assumed this was the same person because I saw the commercials where Capote is blonde and has glasses.

I am 16 actually, you ass, and I apologize that no one ever taught me about deranged and disgusting murderers or the men that interview them. I did not know Dahmers name, therefore I could not 'google' him or look him up on Wikipedia, aka the least reliable source on the internet. I assumed that, because everyone was ranting about the amazing and chilling performance done by P.S.H, the movie was about a killer rather than a journalist.
How old are you, Galves? You must be much younger than I am or are a terrible person because you do not even have the common decency to leave something alone when a person realizes they made a mistake!
"I did not know Dahmers name, therefore I could not 'google' him"
Hate to pile on because people were a bit too rude, and this is an old thread. But I just had to point out the obvious, you did know this was a movie about someone named Capote, so you could have easily googled that name and discovered he wasn't the serial killer you were thinking of.
You see if it wasn't for this movie I wouldn't know who either of these people are. There isn't exactly a "Murderers and Journalists 101" class at my school. Sorry I'm too young to have lived during the time that this happened.
well im sure people are just surprised one doesnt really know anything about capote. im 20 and have known who he was since i was little but its just through watching movies and reading up on people. if you want to ask a question that may cause these responses, id just privately google names, to get a quick answer. imdb is filled with people who love entertainers of the past and present and to ask such a question, especially on someone like truman capote will raise eyebrows. just trying to be helpful.
