Beyond Words

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2011)

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is by far my favourite actor of all time. When i first discovered his movies i could never imagine the range he could have as an actor, then i saw this movie. This movie is an interpretation of what possibly Truman Capote (writer of Breakfast at Tiffany's) went through to write his next award winning novel "In cold blood". Some people disagree with how this movie and also with how Mr. Hoffman interpreted Truman Capote's character. I disagree with every fibre of my being. There could never be a better person to play this role, and nobody should make the assumption of what Truman Capote was like off camera. If you compare what he was like on the radio and in person you can tell that the man would have suffered from lows off camera, battling with his own emotional turmoil. This movie deserves a 10/10 rating because it draws you in and makes you want to watch it to the end.
