Capote (2005)

There's no denying that Philip Seymour Hoffman is incredibly captivating, completely becoming Truman Capote.  His Oscar was well deserved.  He nails the voice, the mannerisms, and the mindset of the man who captivated America with his true crime novel In Cold Blood.  I admit that sometimes it was a little difficult to understand what he was saying, but that just makes you listen more closely to the well written script.  While In Cold Blood gives us a little insight into the killers while the movie gives us intimate insight into the author at his height.  Capote spent six long years on this book.  Capote regularly expresses his frustration over how long it took. The film genuinely feels like six years, a little slow at times.
