by Joel Mathiesen

Winner of Best Actor this year, Phillip Seymour Hoffman portrayed the great Truman Capote, showing the truth behind his novel "In Cold Blood". Bennett Miller, the director, showed the struggle of Truman Capote, the painful process of his research for his violent book. Catherine Keener did a brilliant job as the famous author, Harper Lee. Chris Cooper also co-stars and Clifton Collins Jr. plays one of the murderers that Truman Capote became very close to. Capote had all the aspects of a good film, from the acting to the script. A must see for anyone who is a Hoffman fan, or a fan of good movies.
