This is a biographical film. The protagonist of the biography, Truman Capote, is a famous American writer, and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is his work. This person himself is a sissy, gay, and needs to be played in a strange role. Philip Seymour Hoffman took this opportunity and made a perfect transition from ugly star to actor.
The film selects Capote's experience during the period when he wrote the last book in his life, "In Cold Blood", starting with a murder that piqued his interest, and most of the scenes are in prison. I have never liked this type of movie, "Dance of the Dead", Dead Man Walking are all of this type. Gloomy, depressed, too much dialogue. It's not that I'm afraid of prison-related things. On the contrary, I like to watch jailbreaks the most. Needless to say, "The Shawshank Redemption", "Midnight Express", "Midnight Run" are all my favorites, and great movies. "Iron Butterfly", everyone made me cry. Freedom is the most important thing, and it is worth anything in exchange.
The only saving grace of this film is that it depicts the complexity of human emotions. Capote is like this about the murderer Perry, curious (what is a cold-blooded murderer?), sympathy (similar childhood experiences between the two Forging strange bonds), love (increasing concern), fear (capricious murderers and hard-to-understand facts), hatred (law-abiding citizens' wariness of marginalized people)... So the two often stage coaxing, exploiting each other The feeling of being dependent.
Director Bennett Miller is mediocre, and to be fair, this is indeed a well-established, boring film, the opposite of indie film degeneration to mainstream.
Multiple Oscars and BAFTA, Berlin's nominations can only show that American film production has entered an unprecedented low ebb, and the day of burying the Oscars and putting the final word on it is not far away...
