Topic > Ethical Behavior in the Movie Capote - 639

The movie Capote, based on how the writer of “In Cold Blood” did his research to write his book, a literary masterpiece, vividly portrayed Capote's behavior during his research. Capote's behavior during the years Perry waits on death row to obtain personal testimony about the night of the murders is a controversial topic. Some argue that what Capote did was absolutely necessary for an ambitious writer to create such a masterpiece, while others argue that human ethics are more important than the creation of a "noble nonfiction" ideal and that the paths he took to get there are morally important. ambiguous. Even though he gave the world a milestone in literature, his behaviors seem unethical because he lied, pretended to be friends with an accused murderer who was on death row, and had no empathy towards him. He lied to Perry Smith and the police about his benefits. He lied to police because he said he would write about the impact of the murder on the community, but he was writing about how the Clutter family was killed. Capote bribed a prison to gain access to Perry, a man involved in the Clutter family murder case. Furthermore, Capote was writing a book obtaining substantial information from the two men accused overnight of the brutal murder of an entire family, but he was hiding the title from the two killers. He wanted them to believe that his writings were about their unjust path. On one program, he said the title of his book was "In Cold Blood," but when Perry asked him about it, he said he had to make up the title and gave it as the title, but it wasn't the actual title. It seems clear that Capote's behavior was questionable as to how he got access to Perry and how he lied to him... middle of the paper... and if you don't know someone at all, it still makes you cry sometimes if you see some truly horrific scenes. Capote cries when Perry was hanged. It is very common that a human seeing someone hanging in front of his eyes can make someone cry. Capote appears to have been troubled for a time after Perry's hanging. The hanging scene disturbs everyone. Capote had been in contact with Perry for a long time, so he was upset after the incident, not surprising. This does not mean that Capote's behavior was ethical. Even though Capote's book is a masterpiece of non-fiction fiction, his behaviors while researching to write the book are unethical. He crossed the line by lying to others, pretending to be someone's friend, and engaging in inhumane behavior while Perry waits on death row to get a personal account of the night of the murders..
