capote

[Mr. P]

Just saw it on DVD Saturday. It was an interesting movie about the writing of his book “In Cold Blood”. I saw Truman many times on Carson, Philip Hoffman does a great job of capturing his mannerisms, voice etc. It was close to watching the real Truman.

I've really been wanting to see this.

You should, Dan. Then post, you seem objective, I would like to hear what you think about it. Our perspectives are different. I saw him on the tonight show many times, you are younger and probably did not. I was surprised by what the movie revealed (to me).

Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things, I just haven't gotten around to seeing it. Probably because I keep buying full seasons of TV shows on DVD which then take up all my viewing time.

At first I was under the impression that it was just a biopic on Capote. Now that I know it's mostly about In Cold Blood, I'm even more interested from a writer's perspective.
