Wow! Such a good movie.

A Masterpiece!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

When a case that happened to the Clutter family ended in the murder of two perpetrators who had no motive on November 15, 1959, United States was shocked by the case which also drew an attention from Truman Capote to lead a study and make it as reference for his next book as one of the greatest classic all times, "In Cold Blood." In this film, we look further at how Truman Capote tried to approach the two perpetrators by directing various interviews with them. Based on a true story, this biopic tells about Truman Capote of being in a circumstances on both sides: does he want to save the perpetrator after knowing the real motive or using them both as the next project?"In Cold Blood" itself is one of the best and final works of Truman Capote. His book also exploded in the market even regularly praised as a new journalism which combines the writing style journalism and literature. In this movie, "Capote" himself also tells about how the process of finding the material for the book. He was happy but he also regretted which he didn't want to write another book since "In Cold Blood." Although as much as possible trying to free Perry Smith, which will end in the galore, in the end, prove can't be moved on by itself because the evidence clearly indicates that Perry Smith deserved it. As Truman Capote said to Perry Smith that he wanted to create a human being character in his book so that the world didn't assume that Perry Smith was a monster. At the last second of his life, after Capote attended Perry Smith condemned to hang, he felt the burdens were gone but stayed to disturb him.The opening scene is presented as a marker that this movie has a gloomy and dark impression. Not too but it can be proven from the Kansas, Holcomb city always seems depressing each of the frames. Each of the frames feels like an emotion of fear itself if this movie was not a happy-theme movie but a depression and fear of equity concerned. Truman Capote is a person with an unpredictable characteristic of what is in his mind and what he really wants to do. His soul who aspired to help Perry Smith because he saw that he had a dark history of background indicated the feelings of Capote who wanted to save him like a human being. But, in the depths of his deepest heart, Capote actually didn't care and did not want to save Perry Smith because he only saw himself as one of the roots which could change the worldview. Truman Capote also was previously successful through his books such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Other Voices," "Other Rooms," and "The Grass Harp." That success also signifies an urge to create a new work which makes a murder in Holcomb as his next book.Truman Capote relationship with Perry Smith is really good, close, and tries to uncover a "dark side" between Truman Capote and Perry Smith which is truly ambitious in his book. "In Cold Blood" itself was also written in a very long period of time and not to mention, his sin before he released the book also seemed to want to die inside so he had never made a book since "In Cold Blood." Truman Capote as Philip Seymour Hoffman is said to have a very unique way of reviving the figure of this famous writer, starting from his gesture, his nature, his unique way of speaking, sound, characteristic all of those are really highlighted. Catherine Keener as Nelle Harper Lee wasn't too exposed to her character despite her performance as Harper Lee also one of the best-known writers seems plentiful. As one of Capote's best friends, Harper Lee became one of the characters who played quite well as a plot device when Capote was always in hard times, Harper Lee always came to embrace him. Although one of the important characters, Mark Pellegrino as Dick Hickock didn't take too many lines. In this case, "Capote" only focuses on the relationship between Truman Capote and Perry Smith."Capote" is a biopic based on a process from one of the best classic works ever made, "In Cold Blood." Again, this movie isn't too special in various aspects, especially some memorable scenes which discuss a little reference about Humphrey Bogart and take a little background in 1960 before "To Kill a Mockingbird" was released. Not much can be said about this movie apart from the truly mesmerizing acting yet "unique" from Philip Seymour Hoffman. One kudos for him and a tribute to himself. "Capote" is a movie which it resembles at one case with two different points of view.

Philip Seymour Hoffman does a wonderful job as Truman Capote in this film, so much so that he carries it from start to finish and is the sole reason the movie has received such positive reviews from critics and audiences. Hoffman is difficult to fault, but the film as a whole is far from perfect.'Capote' is supposed to be a biography of novelist Truman Capote, yet offers very little background on the man himself. People going into this film with little knowledge of Capote will be disappointed when the credits roll and find they don't know much more than they did 2 hours ago. Surely that's not what you would expect from a so- called 'biographical film'?For all it positive aspects, including an outstanding lead acting performance, 'Capote' is let down by its narrow approach. I wanted and expected so much more from this film.

"Capote", like it's subject, is not conventional. Rather than trying to observe Trumand Capote's entire life in one film, it observes the peak of his career and his turning point in his life, and that is the four years that he was researching and writing the first non fiction novel, "In Cold Blood". Yet the film seems to do justice to his entire life by subtle dialogue and showing his major development over the course of these four years. The film has a quiet, somber mood that fits perfectly with the subject, and one of Philip Seymour Hoffman's greatest performances in a career full of great performances.Truman Capote hears about a murder of the Clutters family in Kansas, and begins to do research on the subject. Buy when he finally sees one of the two murderers, Perry Smith, he seems immediately entranced by how lonely and shy Perry is, completely reversing his expectations, and as a shot in that scene shows, he feels like he is trapped in a cage away from Perry, rather than vice versa. But what Truman really sees is himself in Perry. As Truman states earlier in the film, people often feel that they know him, or have him figured out when really they have no idea who he is. And the same goes for Perry. He is a murderer, and that's all that most people will ever see in him from now on. But Truman sees something else, and wants, no, needs to understand this man. Truman places a lot of emphasis on the fact that he wants to change the way the world views Perry, and he also seems to want to change the way he is viewed. He says Perry wants so desperately to be taken seriously, but Truman is trying the be taken seriously by making this book as well. He begins meeting with him and they slowly reveal themselves to each other, Truman learning that Perry had a troubled childhood as well. Perry is very reluctant to talk about the actual murder, however. Truman begins drifting away from everyone else in his life, and there comes a point in the film 2 here it seems that the two may be using each other, but then the scene comes where Perry talks about the murders with Truman, and it's clear that the two have a connection. Ironically, the time when Perry seems the most weak and vulnerable is actually in the scene of the murders. After this, it cuts forward, and at this point Truman just wants this to be over, and frankly, he just hopes that Perry can just die so he never has to worry about him again. Perry begins trying to contact him, but Truman knows that he can't let himself get connected to Perry again, or else he may never recover. Eventually, however, just before his execution, Perry sends a heartfelt letter that brings Truman to him shortly before his execution. He witnesses the execution and kept telling himself there was nothing he could do to prevent it afterwords. But he can't escape the truth and it seems a part of him was lost forever when Perry died.The film is a not only a great character study, but one of the greatest biopics of all time, and a sad reminder that there is almost always much more to the people we think we understand.

Why are otherwise brilliant filmmakers/star actors/etc. so oblivious to the situation being at least partly of their own making that they complain on DVD extras about freezing to death in some unheated building while filming in CANADA as a substitute for events set in USA. Small price for you to pay for taking our jobs away to get the extra tax credits.Other industries like lumber, another Canadian government subsidized industry, are still often protected by tariffs despite trade agreements, if it is determined they are government subsidized. Because of Hollywood bashing by Republicans it is not PC to protect Movie industry jobs in USA. I am not any happier about other states in USA doing same thing, but I have yet to hear anyone complain it is too cold in Georgia, North Carolina or Louisiana. If I hear that complaint in a DVD extra you will be the first to know, right after Hell freezes over.
