i think you’re right about the ‘memorable moments’ thing… i think any movie i end up giving a full score to has a few scenes i’d call ‘iconic’ that the film will be known for… i dont think Capote has one of those. great scenes yes, moments? not really…

i plan on reading the book soon…

Aside from the cinematography and Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance, it didn't really affect me all that much. It was a bit drawn out, the characters were emotionally distant and there weren't really any memorable moments. I found a good quote on Rotten Tomatoes that sums up how I feel: "There's an interesting story here, but it's far more likely captured in Capote's book than in this inconsistent film." -- Josh Bell, LAS VEGAS WEEKLY Yeah I’m still not sure how I felt about this movie.
