Capote

SPRING BREAK 2006 Fast Review
The non-fiction story of author Truman Capote and his book "In Cold Blood" was a haunting story of a curious man whose life is irrevocably altered as he builds friendships with the killers about whom he is writing. Phillip Seymour Hoffman really is incredible in his Oscar winning embodiment of the writer, we can see his interest in the horrific story, his want to help the men with whom he can relate by means of sharing similar childhoods, and lastly we feel his guilt knowing that ultimately they must be executed to provide an end to his book. This movie was nominated for the best picture, however it lost to Crash and deservedly so. It was good, but the one great performance never quite made it great.

A-
