Fantastic, Disturbing film
Remarkable, disturbing film about the true-life, senseless, brutal murder of a small-town family, along with the aftermath, and examination of the lives of the killers, Dick Hickok and Perry Smith.

No matter how much time goes by, or how dated this film may look, it still resonates the utter incomprehensibility of criminal acts such as this.

This really traces multiple tragedies: The tragedy, brutality and senselessness of the murder of the Clutter family, a decent farm family in small-town Holcomb, Kansas; and the wasted, brutal and sad lives of Hickok and Smith.

An interesting point is made in the film: that neither of these two immature, scared, petty criminals would have ever contemplated going through with something like this alone. But, together, they created a dangerous, murderous collective personality; one that fed the needs and pathology of each of them. They push each other along a road of “proving” something to each other. That they were man enough to do it, to carry it out; neither wants to be seen as too cowardly to complete their big “score”; an unfortunate and dangerous residue of the desolate lives they led. These were two grown-up children, who live in a criminal’s world of not backing down from dares; who constantly need to prove manhood and toughness. in this instance, these needs carried right through to the murder of the Clutters.

The film contains a somewhat sentimentalized look at the Clutter family, but the point is made. These were respected, law-abiding, small-town people, who didn’t deserve this terrifying fate. The movie also gives us a sense of the young lives of Hickok and Smith. Perry Smith, whose early life was filled with security and love, but watched in horror as alcohol took his family down a tragic path. Hickok, poor and left pretty much to his own devices, not able to see how he fit in, using his intelligence and charm to con everyone he came into contact with.

An interesting, and maybe the first, look at capital punishment, and what ends we hope to achieve. Is this nothing more than revenge killing for a murder that rocked a nation at a time when we had not yet had to fully face that there might be such predators among us, or does putting these guys at the end of a rope truly provide a deterent to the childish and brutal posturing of men like these? Is it possible to deter men who live lives of deceit, operating under the radar, believing they fool everyone they come into contact with? To be deterred, you must believe it’s possible you will be caught. Is it possible to deter these men who believe they are too clever to be caught?; who have committed hundreds of petty crimes, and got away with them? This was supposed to be a “cinch”, “no witnesses”.

When caught, Hickok finds he can’t charm and con the agents the way he had department store clerks. Smith, who believes he deserves such a fate anyway, who seemed to be the only one who truly grasped the gravity of what they had done, willingly tells the story when he learns that Hickok has cowardly caved in. Hickok blinked first. A silly game of chicken between two immature, emotionally damaged, dangerous men.

Fascinating psychological thriller, telling a story of a horrendous crime in this nation’s history. Stunning portrayals by Robert Blake and Scott Wilson. These roles made their careers.

Cold as ice
Based on Truman Capote’s classic 1966 book, “In Cold Blood” recounts the murders of the Clutter family in rural Kansas at the hands of two deluded ex-cons who flee as fugitives across the country.

Capote’s “In Cold Blood” is among my favorite books, and Richard Brooks’s film adaptation is a mostly-faithful adaptation that captures the calculated, cold sensibility of the source material. Like the book, it shifts narrative perspective intermittently, traversing past and present from the perspectives of the killers and their helpless victims.

The cinematography is documentarian in style, and the fact that Brooks chose to shoot the film at the actual locations (including the real “murder house”) gives the film an even more disturbing veneer to privy audiences. The film is fairly muted in regard to showing on-screen violence, but the impact left behind by what is implied is properly effective. Robert Blake and Scott Wilson turn in two enormously effective performances as the lead antiheroes, and the film’s last scenes rival Susan Hayward’s harrowing turn in “I Want to Live!”

As far as crime films go (true or not), “In Cold Blood” is a masterwork of the genre. It works as well as a straightforward thriller as it does a police procedural, and is supplemented by a cold, detached demeanor that allows their audience to project their own emotions onto it. It’s a film that’s cold as ice, but is sure to elicit a response from anyone with a pulse. 10/10.
