As soon as "Genius Ripley" came up, people could not help but keep up with Ripley's own thoughts, greed and fear. (by

In this film, the director Anthony Minghella accurately conveys the theme of the original novel that "a lonely and helpless person is trying to change himself and step into another social class in the context of the prevailing existentialism and jazz music" and The novel focuses on rendering the "claustrophobic and irrational" story atmosphere. The filming scenes are set in 9 Italian cities headed by Rome, which allows Minghella to capture enough shots full of inspiration and enlightenment. Picturesque Italy, flocks of pigeons flying, clear water and blue sky, the melodious and beautiful pictures of the 1950s are intertwined with plots full of intrigue and lies, bringing a shocking viewing effect to the audience. But it also caused Minghella's flaw, that is, his movies are sometimes too long and slow. (
