Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

It's 1959, and an eccentric author/journalist Truman Capote has just seen the story in the paper about the Clutter killings in Kansas. Being Capote, he is immediately sucked into the story, and wants to do research for the New Yorker. Over the course of the film, he begins to develop a close relationship with one of the murderers, Perry Smith.
I suppose that this movie falls into the category of beautiful. The acting is absolutely outstanding; the Oscar for best actor (Philip Seymour Hoffman) was given to the right person. While Hoffman's performance as Capote was excellent, I believe that there is another man who should be recognised; Clifton Collins Jr. Rarely have I seen such good, and believable acting. I also think that he should have won an Oscar, but, sadly, everything can't work out for every being on this earth.
So, as a summary, this film was definitely one of the best films of the year. Watch this film if you want to see a phenomenal movie!
