"Capote" . . .

I saw this a Big Lots for $3 and grabbed it. Boy, was I late to the party. This is the most finely produced actor's movie I've seen in a while. Hoffman's laser focus on his character was astounding. I know he got an Oscar for it but I had no idea of how good he was until I watched it. (I hope he wasn't like Depp or Depardieu and took a year to get out of character.)

It was interesting to see his personal involvement because the book crossed emotional and somewhat legal boundaries with him becoming a virtual accessory to the crime through his interviews and help.

One of the great ironies of Hoffman's performance is that it rehabilitates Capote's image that most of us remember from talk shows near the end of his life bringing back a more refined portrait of him while dispensing with his side show persona.

When they were executed so was Truman as he never finished another book.

Amazing film.
