The whole thing smacked of self-righteousness, sermonizing and reduction without a bit of insight into what made Capote and his fascination with Perry Smith tick. It was "tasteful" with a capital T, when what was called for was a little grotesque excess, for one thing. A sense of humor wouldn't have hurt, either. I felt like I was watching a television movie about the horrors of fame most of the time, deadeningly earnest and inappropriately austere. <BR/><BR/>I don't know which trailer some comment writers have been watching, but the trailer I watched promises a far more complex investigation of the material than we got with Bennett Miller's film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1155457157014169852006-08-13T04:19:00.000-04:002006-08-13T04:19:00.000-04:00They were made at the same time.

It took what could've been a fascinating take on a man's psyche and made it into a tedious, trying snail-paced bore while also rendering its main character into an unsympathetic, infuriating walking contradiction.<BR/><BR/>This film looks to correct all that, and I personally hope so. I find the idea of sacrificing people for your art fascinating (a technique also used in Bergman's brilliant 'Through a Glass Darkly') and this film looks to make Capote's sacrifice as heartbreaking as it should be.<BR/><BR/>Plus, you have Sandra Bullock in what I really hope will give her good cred with the indie folk, Daniel Craig and Sigourney Weaver. Not to mention Hope Davis, who rivals Patricia Clarkson in terms of great character actors. She's wonderful in everything she does, and looks to continue to do so here.Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330740987516007108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1155333759892282032006-08-11T18:02:00.000-04:002006-08-11T18:02:00.000-04:00I thought the trailer was hilarious (literally).

At the very least, it could have great supporting performances. I thought Clifton Collins, Jr., was terrific as Perry Smith in Capote, but Daniel Craig could be even better. He played tortured criminal pretty effectively in Love Is the Devil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1155310154997956392006-08-11T11:29:00.000-04:002006-08-11T11:29:00.000-04:00I don't know why I kept calling him Toby Allen.
