MCT:May 12, 2008This was almost a whole different view of the turning point of the life of writer Truman Capote. Compared to the film with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, this version starring Toby Jones as Capote was a far more detailed account of his journey to Kansas to cover the murder of a farmer and his family. With his best friend and fellow writer, Nelle Harper Lee (played very well by Sandra Bullock), they discover the feelings of the people of the small town. This happens in a slower and probably a more realistic pace than in the other recent film. We are given more details about Truman's friends home, his family background and what people thought about him. Also, the details about the killers is far more specific and drawn out than in the other film. I don't know which of these two films is more accurate. I enjoyed both. This one gave a whole different spin to the relationship of Perry, the convict played by Daniel Craig. It seems they had a more intimate connection. I liked how this film made it seem like more of a challenge for Capote to get his story created and revealed how it went from an article to a novel. Very well done.

A very interesting counterpoint to Capote (with whom comparison cannot be avoided as they came out within a year of each other). It has colour throughout the film, showing Capote's flamboyant style that covers his dark self-involvement whereas Hoffman in Capote revelled in the character's flaws and only alluded to the New York social set. This film ultimately is the worse of the two, going further than the other in exploring the Truman/Perry relationship but making it less affecting through its stylistic decisions.

A lot of A-list actors in non typical roles for them. The main actor is annoying at first but he grows on you. A very interesting biographical film.

MCT:February 25, 2008This is way, way, way better than Capote. Toby Jones portrayal of the writer feels much more honest and human. His relationship with Perry Smith (Daniel Craig, almost unrecognizable with dark hair and an American accent) is explored deeper, and this version plays with the idea that they may have been lovers. While Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Capote was ultimately a cold, calculating, and asexual being, Jones makes him a likable, loving, and tragic character. The supporting cast is fantastic, especially Bullock and Craig.
