I feel so sleepy. I guess it's a little late, but not nearly late enough for how tired I feel. Pardon my short post, I don't know what's with me today. I watched
In Cold Blood, directed by Richard Brooks in 1967, based on the Truman Capote book of the same name. I actually never have read
In Cold Blood, which seems stupid, given my hideous love of true crime. I did see the more modern version of the book, the aptly named
Capote, which I liked quite a bit.
Anyway, my general like of these things made me feel like I would love this movie, and I really enjoyed it. It was a little slow and meandering, but I was also a little tired while watching it. I really liked the stark black and white, and the unknown actors. They were great in their roles, and Ebert wrote that Richard Blake even went on to actually murder someone. Perhaps this is why he was so convincing.
