Well Written and Intriguing

Finding Philip Seymour Hoffman to be an exceptional actor, Capote was on my list of movies to view. I knew Truman Capote was an excellent author, with fantastic writing but I had no other knowledge of his personal life. This opened up my eye. The whole aspect of "In Cold Blood", which is what this film revolves around; takes a deep look into Capote's mindset and how this novel came about.
The scenes were set up quite well and suited the film well. The dialogue was very realistic and authentic. Hoffman is a phenomenal fit for Capote! I was shocked at how well he pulls off Capote's eccentric and well homosexuality. I never would have seen Philip Seymour pull it off, but he did with exquisite precision and authenticity.
No-one else in the film really stood out to me, however all the actors were good and didn't suck haha.
The only dislike I recieved with this film, is the lack of "somrthing", to make it fuller. Its difficult to describe, its not an action film(of course), but something was definitely needed. Some parts didn't take off as well as it could have. Other then that, the film was great and the storyline and writing was very well done. I'm glad I bought Capote, that Philip Hoffman can act..wow!
