うなりますね、久々にこういう緊張感のある傑作を見ました。
最後に近づくにつれ、さらに緊張感が高まり、「この感覚．．．前に感じたような．．．」と思ったら、そう、アノ映画！かなり近いものがあります。いや、同じかな。（どの映画かを言ってしまうとネタバレになってしまうので言えないです。見た人は分かるでしょう。）
引っ越して５年以上経つのに未だ、録り溜めした映画のビデオテープが段ボールにいっぱいですが、こういう時「捨てなくてよかった」と思う（笑）いつか見ようと（そして録画した事を覚えていて！）とっておいてよかった。昔は感覚が冴えていたのかなーこういう風に「なんかよさそう」と思って片っ端から録画していたんだなー。見なきゃ行けない映画が沢山ある。
（話がそれましたが．．．）『冷血』は犯罪もの好きな人は絶対にmust seeです。原作も読んでみようと思っています。（ちなみに、”このフィルム・ノワールは．．．”と書こうとして知った。フィルム・ノワールは1940年代前半〜1950年代後半の主にアメリカの犯罪映画の総称だそう。知らなかったぁ〜）
I watched In Cold Blood. I wanted to see it before going to see Capote which has just started here in Japan. I have tons of videos and I remember I have this film on video and I found it. (I don't know why I can do it.) I enjoyed this an intence film very much. Towards the end, it got more and more intense and it reminded me of some film, which I shouldn't reveal here. (I know people would disagree but) they both have same effect on me.
I really like reading some information (mainly on IMdb) after I saw a great film. So I was reading trivia on the film and I found that Anthony Hopkins watched Robert Blake's performance in In Cold Blood several times to prepare for the role of Hannibal Lecter.
After over five years since I moved here, I still have too many video tapes that I have recorded so many films on in lousy boxes, and I have always, always wanted to watch all the films I've got so that I could reduce the number of tapes but there hasn't been much progress. Still, I remember what I taped and what not and I can find what I want to see. Yes, I knew I taped In Cold Blood somewhere and I could find it mysteriously. (It was an old tape, of course, and I had difficulties reading subtitles sometimes but it wasn't a big problem.)
Anyway, now I'm ready to read In Cold Blood and go see Capote.
(And I learnt this film isn't categorised as Film Noir because it's not made between early 1940's and late 1950's. Interesting.)
