Truman Capote and Infamous

I just came out from Infamous, the movie about Trueman Capote (not to be confused with “Capote” from last year) and am so full of inspiration and ideas that I don’t really know where to begin.

This movie is other-worldly. But I’m not going to try to tell you why, because I don’t think I could, but I will tell you that Infamous tells the same story as Capote, but with so many more nuances added.

I’m not sure where the exact connection to this thought below is, but all I could think of after coming out from this movie was that

-it should not matter too much how many people take part of your work –read your book, see your movie, attend your show, listen to your voice. What matter is that your work exists, and that it’s at some point out there.

That’s all.
