Review of Capote

Capote (2005)
6/10
A good film about a bad person
17 April 2023
Capote was an opportunist, a graverobber, a disloyal friend and an alcoholic sleaze. He was also over rated.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman did an amazing job of capturing this annoying, repulsive and self loathing person.

I laughed so hard reading the one and two star reviews. Yes, Capote did sound like that.

Capote resented beauty, love and talent since he was devoid of all those characteristics.

He exploited the Cutter tragedy for his own fame, then he focused the book on the two killers and not the victims. He then refused to give Harper Lee proper credit for all her hard work.

Later in life, when he had nothing else going for him, he wrote an expose of his friends using information told to him in confidence.
