Capote (2005)
Hoffman gives a stunningly detailed portrayal of Truman Capote. Capote is shown being quite sure of himself and the moral issues he deals with in extracting the story from the murderers. He plays with these men’s lives with such matter-of-factness and manipulative selfishness that he does come across as very detestable. Yet, in some sense what he does to the killers is fair. His statement, "I did all that I could do" is an incredible lie, but changing the word could to should, one might agree with it.
Even though the screenplay is quite different from the story, I’ll always thank Capote for the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
