Capote or Infamous?

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2008)

It's a shame that Capote was released first and garnered all the attention, because Infamous is a much better movie. I still to this day do not understand how Phillip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for the role of Capote, or how Dan Futterman was even nominated for his dreadful screenplay. For me Hoffman's acting carries with it a heavy twinge of the sleazy; like a used towel left at the set of porn movie. And Futterman didn't understand that truth is far more interesting and realistic than the negligent fictions in his screenplay... some of them being so twisted that they completely change entire nature of Capote's character and skew interpersonal dynamics to the point of complete unbelievability.
Not only is Infamous more interesting to watch but is more true to the spirit of actual circumstances as well.
