Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

salmanalfarisi-81574 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.

areatw 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.

paul2001sw-1 'In Cold Blood', Truman Capote's most famous book, was a thinly fictionalised account of some real life murders; which he befriended the killers to write. 'Capote' tells the story of the book's gestation. At its dramatic core is the tension between Capote the professional, to whom his subjects are just material, and Capote the human being; to be a writer, of course, he needs to function on both levels. But nonetheless, the film presents him as someone so fundamentally self-centred that it's hard to see why we should care about his ethical unease - there's little doubt that ultimately he's going to resolve it in his own favour anyway. Philip Seymour Hoffman is very good in the title role but there really doesn't seem to be too much purpose to this movie, except to genuflect in reverence of the "artist".

tacotacomm Bennet Miller has become one of my favourite directors of recent times. I have watched moneyball and foxcatcher before this and was completely engulfed in his story and characters. Capote somehow did not reach to me as the other films did.Capote follows the story of Truman Capote who wants to write about the truth about the murder of a family. PSH delivers an amazing depiction of Capote (even though some said the accent was not precise), no doubt PSH is truly a master at his work. However, the story seemed to drag. I did not feel this push that Bennet Miller gave us in his later films, that would make want to watch more and more. When I say, "Bennet Miller tells us a bed time story", I mean that in both a positive and negative way: great story, but kinna put me to sleep. I loved the story and was kind of interested throughout the movie. I also liked this love-hate-regret relationship Capote had with the killer. However, I did not feel this push that Bennet Miller gave us in his later films, that would make want to watch more and more. The film lacked character through cinematography and atmosphere, despite PSH and the other well acted characters.BUT, i gave this a 7/10 cuz it is a must watch, mostly cuz of PSH and since this is a true story, a cool one at that. Sorry... "cool" is kinna insensitive.
