Movie Review: Capote

Jan 06, 2008 13:57

I really wanted to like this movie. See, I remember Truman Capote when he was a fixture on the talk show circuit. He was one of the guests that I'd stay up late for if he was going to be on The Tonight Show. He was brilliant and snarky and could stab someone in the back with a bit of gossip while being absolutely child like and wickedly innocent. ( Read more... )

This one is better...far stronger at least the friendship depiction btw Nelle Harper Lee and Truman Capote...watch that...it's with Sandra Bullock and Toby Jones.

I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for friending me.

There's one interesting thing about that movie -- I'm in it. ;-) You can't see me, but I'm there, in one of the scenes filmed in Winnipeg -- when he's reading from his book to a theatre full of New Yorkers.

Very cool. I hope you brought your own book for the long waits. Having seen the performance live, what did you think of Hoffman's Capote?

I wasn't familiar with the original, so it's hard to say. We listened to him read the same passage over, and over, and over, and looked rapt, and applauded, and ovated, over and over and over...

I didn't have a book, but I did have my friend Didact with me, he's done movie work before. So we at least got to visit during the seven or so hours we were there.
