none the wiser

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2006)

I never knew much about the man Capote apart from reading the beautiful book breakfast at Tiffanys and seeing the fim, and after watching this film felt none the wiser about him,I cannot help but wonder if this is how Truman would like to be remembered if he was alive today and why the film concentrated upon this particular story line of his life when I was looking forward to a history lesson on such a great writer and if now I should wait for someone else to make a film that does justice to the the man surely he deserves better than this and being immortalised in this film memory,I personally think it would put most newcomers off his work.I would also like like Hoffman to play him again the man truly deserves the Oscar this year,I cannot think of another actor worthy to add to the category rather than just making up the numbers.Breathtaking when you can enjoy a film just for the stars performance but dismiss the film as ordinary.
