Watched Capote yesterday with Li-Shia. It was a very good movie; not the epic sort like Schindler's List or The Return of the King, but more reserved, covering some of the emotional territory of A Beautiful Mind.
It's not surprising that Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Best Actor award for his role as Truman Capote; and I've never heard him speak in such an effeminate manner!
Incidentally, we caught the very last show at 4.50 p.m. Today, it's been taken off the list. Thanks Li-Shia for belanja-ing!
One of the lines that stuck with me most, was Harper Lee's reflection at the end of the movie on Capote's actions. After the murderers are executed, Capote tells Harper, "There wasn't anything I could have done to save them." She replies, "Maybe, but the fact is you didn't want to."
He actually uses the murderers, keeping them alive just to get the details he wants for his story, and then sees to it that their appeal to the Supreme Court is unsuccessful, just so he can write an ending to his story.
Why do we make the choices we make?
On another note, while Li-Shia and I were walking about, we passed this Seed shop, and were glued to the picture outside it for some fifteen minutes or so.
It would be really nice to take something like that someday. Though of course it may not be so easy to get willing models, considering where the guy's putting his left hand... *ahem*

Y'know, for a moment I thought the SEED ad was really just below the Capote poster in a pic you took. But yeah, it's indeed quite the eyeful. ;)
