Capote

[Sean]

Release: 24th March 2006

Capote is a 2005 biographical film that follows Truman Capote (portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman) on a writing assignment for The New Yorker in a small Kansas town where he investigates the gruesome murders of a local family. The film follows the events in Capote's life during the writing of his non-fiction novel, In Cold Blood.

It's got a good story but it isn't the most exciting film ever made, seeing as I fell asleep when I was watching it, but the second half of the film is better than the first and the story starts to get more interesting.

7/10

Hoffman is a great actor, from what I seen of Capote his character seemed nice and quirky.

Yeh I fell asleep last night (was very late) and then watched the rest of it earlier today.

 

[Douy]

Sounds quite good actually....

 

[Sean]

It does help if you actually know a tiny bit about Truman Capote before watching the film as there isn't really an introduction on the film and it saves you having to pick it up along the way.

ITs up for an oscar, best film i think

 

[Gregor]

And best actor

 

[Sean]

I think Hoffman has a good chance of winning the best actor as he is very very good in it.

The woman is also up for best supporting female as well. She has a good chance too.
