Capote

[MarvinAndroid42]

I haven't seen a movie in a theatre for like 3 years not for any real reason - except my eyes are sensitive and the screen's real big.

I really want to see Capote since he's an author I like.
In terms of violence/sex, is it like, "Viewer Discretion Advised"?
What did you think?

No sex or nudity. One violent episode, which is a flashback of how the crime went down. Shows the family members being shot and Mr. Clutter getting his throat cut, but only momentarily.

I thought the movie was excellent. Not much action, but the story is very absorbing. Best thing is Phillip Seymour Hoffman's terrific portrayal of Truman Capote. I heard he just got nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, and he deserves it.

The book, In Cold Blood,and the movie based on it about the murder of that Kansas family and the two killers interviewed by the book's author, Truman Capote...was very well done. Also filmed in glorious B/W it was made in the 70's and probably set the bar for good crime dramas. Because of that I do want to see this story about Capote's writing of that book.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was outstanding in his small part in The Talented Mr. Ripley. His star has been on the rise since with some excellent and challenging parts. From the clips I have seen...he really does the Capote part to perfection and is pretty much a shoe in for the oscar this year.
