In Reply to: Liked it but Capote was better... posted by ToshiroofKreplachastan on December 10, 2005 at 15:48:56:
Syriana is dense and fascinating. The points that are made are provocative. Capote is a completely dissimilar movie, so a comparison is somewhat forced. However, PS Hoffman's performance is one for the ages in Capote, he communicates a whole world of complexity non-verbally. There is nothing to match it in Syriana. And, to be honest, at least one of the subplots in Syriana seems to be unnecessary and unrelated to the main thread. That is the story of the Pakistani worker in the Persian Gulf. Did anyone not know where that was headed from the earliest conversation in the guest worker camp? Of the two, which would I buy for the permanent collection? Capote, easily. The only movie this year that has prompted more thought and discussion for me was Grizzly Man.
