Capote


Not sure what I think of it as a movie, but I do think that Philip Seymour Hoffman did an amazing job in his portrayal of Truman Capote. He had the physical mannerisms down to a T, as well as the trademark "Casper Milquetoast" voice, and even threw in this little quiver while being frisked to go into the Prison--this little paroxysm o' pleasure..A subtle touch but a good one, considering the character he was playing.

As far as the physical adaptation, it seemed to work. Usually, Hollywood has to take a little guy and make him bigger.Well, then again, with Jennifer Love Hewitt playing Audrey Hepburn, they had to conceal her considerable kazooms, so...

Anyway, on the strength of the acting, I'd give it a couple stars.
