My comments on "Capote"....

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2006)

This movie was just fabulous. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD and I can buy it. Now, I knew nothing about Truman Capote except that he wrote Breakfast At Tiffany's, and the only reason I knew that was because I watch Seinfeld. Anyway, I looked up on my local theatre website the write-up about Capote and it sounded appealing. I have to say though, for many people who don't have the internet, the title of this movie would be very deceiving. Before I read the description I thought the movie would be about the life of Truman Capote and it is so not. It is so much better. Philip Seymour Hoffman was excellent. I can't say anything negative about him. He was just fabulous. And the relationship he formed with Perry was touching at times, especially at the end. Seeing Hoffman/Capote breakdown just before the two killers are to be hanged was heartbreaking (for Truman). You will learn as you watch the movie that Truman develops feelings for one of the killers. Keener did a really good job too. It was my first time seeing her as an actor and I was impressed. At the end of the movie they give a little write-up of how Truman dies and a little light goes on in your head as you begin to remember things that occurred in the movie and you're like, "oh yeah". Anyway, awesome movie.
