I liked it but do not want to see it again, unlike Walk the Line, BM ( ) , etc.

Walk The Line was robbed. Robbed.

I like the pacing...it spanned a great deal of time and nothing much happened other than him writing his novel. It was all about the writing of the book. It worked for me. I loved it. I also love the cinematography a great deal. The dialog was outstanding, particularly the emotional conversations of Capote and Perry. Simply riveting. But there was a large span of time when Capote didn't visit Perry. Poor Capote, after witnessing the hanging could never write again and could only find solace in alchohol.
