Im old enough to remember when what he wrote about Ann and the swans. The intense backlash. My late parents refused to allow anything he wrote to be on the house and if he popped up on tv or radio, it was switched off. There were people living outside New York that were connected to the ladies he wrote about. FACT!
In real life, Truman and Ann Woodward were not even acquaintances, he met her only once in a ski lodge in Switzerland and for some reason, Truman disliked her intensely. Despite barely knowing her at all, Truman took a great interest in Ann. Some speculated that Truman was in a prolonged writer's block, he needed another true crime story like the one in Cold Blood, and the whispering about Ann Woodward seemed like a story he can explore for his next book, that might explain why Truman desperately wanted to make "Bang Bang" happen!
Truman told lies about Ann, the shooting. He spread those lies as entertainment at parties and for his so-called friends. Capote was a vile, evil man. Then he goes and betrays those that he was supposedly so close to and cared for. Capote did not care about anyone that he hurt in any way. In the end the story he told about his swans, the lies he told about Ann, were his downfall. I like to think Ann was the one that got him in the end, he never recovered.
My guess was that he was jealous of the life she built for herself before the tragedy and even after the tragedy and he was just self destructive so he wanted to destroy something he could never have. Sane can be said for the swans. But agree he was vile.
I remember something about Ann saw through him. All this rancor started after she told him to go away and let her eat in peace. He only came over to meet her to stur up trouble. He admitted that.
"Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable! It is the one unforgivable thing, in my opinion." Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, written by Tennessee Williams, not Truman Capote.
I believe it meant the quote from "The Thanksgiving Visitor" by Capote - "there is only one unpardonable sin - deliberate cruelty. All else can be forgiven."
I am just so happy for Demi. Well done. It was simple, clean, and not over the top. I would say what a comeback, but Demi never left. She needs to do more of this and less of what she was thrown at by the studios in the early days.
It made me love him more. He exposed all of these villains despite being painted like glamorous pigs with lipstick they were all xenophobes racists homophobes and general a-holes. And they were dumb enough to ingratiate themselves into one of the best journalistic writers of the 20th century
@@rainey1987 no, he did what was cruel. Hurt people hurt people is a BS excuse, he liked gossiping about and backstabbing his own friends. He liked being cruel, he liked how powerful it made him feel. He also thought he was smarter than everybody else, so he thought he could charm his way out of his roman à clef, which is typical of flaming narcissists. Wtf did Babe Paley ever do to him except love, befriend and spoil him (she wanted to buy him a mansion.)
My heart broke for this woman and her son 😢 ok this might be staged but this scene really packed a punch. If I saw my mum treated like this I would be so angry 💔
@@michellecena8159 No, there was a Dominick Dunne book called the Two Mrs. Grenvilles. Based on the Woodward case. Ann-Margret played the Anne Woodward character Ann Grenville.
He was just a toxic queen , we’ve all known one at some point.
As well as an alcoholic monster!

That wouldn't surprise me to be honest he seems like a venomous little toad

This might be a fictional event but Truman can be this cruel in his life.
And the exact same thing happened to him years later he was ostracized and shut out in the cold and he deserved every second of it horrible little man
I think people forget this woman can act her ass off.
she is a scene stealer i enjoy her acting
She glowingly reminds us of why she was on THE major a list actress in the 80s/90s/2000s...🌟
Damn Demi, she be amazing start to finisb!
Truman was the Perez Hilton of that era and, like Perez, I dislike him thoroughly.
What did these women see in Mr C apote. He seems like a revolting person
He was the life of the party. A very entertaining person.
This was hard to watch :-(
The script and dialogues are so good.

Thanks for the clarification. Still seems he 'borrowed' the line from Williams. @@ayoutubeuser3901
All the above is accurate but also makes you think Truman plagiarised Tennessee Williams 😂
I wonder how accurate this scene is. I would not want to be around that behaviour.
He might have written the cruelty thing, but he stole it from Tennessee Williams

Demi is still a babe❤
After watching the Swans, I dislike Capote intensely.

He did more than was necessary. Babe was a human being who loved him
I never was a fan, but his mother issues I understand. I don't excuse it though.
@@shadrach6299 he did what was necessary Dear Heart

Capote may have been a talented writer, but he was a parasite on the flesh of those women who befriended and trusted him.

Considering his mother was a Blanche DuBois type, that “deliberate cruelty” line must have stung extra hard.
That's so crazy that this never happened. They didn't even know each other personally.
This never happened.
Demi is OK but I keep think Anne Woodward portrayed as Anne-Margret is better.
Do you mean Ann-Margaret should have played Ann Woodward instead of Demi?
