Great acting and nice story depiction

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2015)

The movie presents its story quite impressively, maintaining the balance of focus between the Truman Capote character and his masterpiece book In Cold Blood's making process. The earlier parts nicely emphasize on Truman as a character through his individual distinction. Although it's quite brief but it's quite constant repetition in subsequent parts made it very effective. The next parts nicely focus on the relationships Truman has, particularly with Perry in the writing of In Cold Blood. But I really like how the movie summarizes the story by depicting Truman's sad hypocrisy of denying to help Perry and Dick to find another lawyer yet at the same time lying to them saying he's trying his best. This movie really is one of the milestones of Philip Seymour Hoffman's acting career. By simply changing his voice and adding some new little habits to his mannerism he was able to shed his old characters' persona of ruthless men.
