Exploring The Movie Capote

The truth about making money from home

If you are a fan of literature, or if you are a fan of great movies, or if you are simply interested in watching as many different movies as you can, one movie that will be especially great for you to add to your list is the movie Capote.

Near the very end of 1959 (both in real life, and in the movie), in an otherwise unremarkable town in Kansas, a brutal - and seemingly inexplicable - quadruple murder occurred, and Truman Capote (who at the time was one of the most well-known writers in America, having published Breakfast at Tiffanys and become friends with every significant celebrity of the time) decided to travel to the town to write a story for The New Yorker about the killings and the effect they had on the town. Shortly after Capote arrived in the town, however (along with Harper Lee - who Capote grew up with, and who would soon publish the enduring classic To Kill A Mockingbird), he realized that he needed more space for the story than The New Yorker would allow; he needed to write a book.

The movie Capote follows the author (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman - who won a Best Actor Oscar for playing the enigmatic Capote) as he dives into both the town and the story - with the movie really taking on life when the killers are caught, and when Capote forms a close bond with one of the two men who conducted this brutal slaying of an innocent and unarmed family.

This movie is not only remarkable for its story - which is, in itself, a masterful depiction of the writing of one of the most significant works in the history of American literature - but it is also remarkable for the cinematography, the directing, and most of all the acting. Even if you are not a fan of literature, you will surely enjoy watching Philip Seymour Hoffman control the screen in an incredibly demanding role; and of course, if you are a fan of literature, you will love watching Capote to see the story of the writing of In Cold Blood - one of the most important works of literature to ever come out of the American landscape.

Shopping For The Basics In Camping Equipment

The truth about making money from home

You may have had a desire to go camping in the past, but have been kept away by the fact that you do not own all the equipment you will need. It might seem somewhat overwhelming to start figuring out what you will need to get started, but actually, that camping trip can be quite easy if you just pick up a few essential items. What's more, it will not be particularly expensive if you are wanting to get into some simple, basic camping; after all, you don't need something extreme to have fun!

For anyone who is wanting do some real camping, they will need to make sure they pick up some real hiking boots. Most real camping will require you to do some walking in order to reach your destination; and even if it doesn't, you may want to walk around anyway! A good pair of hiking boots can help you have a great time, while the wrong pair of shoes for camping can turn the trip into a regret really quickly!

Having a tent that is sturdy, lightweight, and designed for what you need is another important part of camping. It is easy to get overwhelmed by the huge variety in tents and prices, but you can actually stay within a cozy budget if you know what it is you need. For instance, you will not want to get a four person tent if you only need to sleep one or two people. Furthermore, if you are going for some light camping on a summer weekend, you will not need a tent that is specially designed for cold weather!

You will also need a good backpack for your trip, especially if you will be gone for more than one day. Make sure you do not just trek out there with your old school backpack; what you need is something specially designed for camping. This backpack will make your trip much easier, as such backpacks are designed to be lightweight, easy to carry, and easy to pack full of everything you will need.

If you go with the right equipment, camping can be a great getaway - fun and invigorating - but if you do not have the right equipment, your camping dream can turn into a nightmare!
