Phillip Seymour Hoffman IS Capote

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2005)

I knew Truman Capote through my socialite parents. I was very young but will never forget him.He had this magnetism that drew people to him and left them hanging on his every word. This movie has affected me for days. When PSH first came on I actually gasped and as the story progressed I was in awe. The performance and the story was dead on. The six year process killed him. He was never quite the same after that and fell into any intoxicant he could get his hands on. The guilt he held for so long overcame him. The cinematography only added to the dour feeling. It could as well have been shot in black and white. PSH must win an Oscar for this.
