Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) is a teenage boy with an amazing memory and a talent for imitation, but poverty makes him have to run around every day to barely make ends meet. Coincidentally, when he played the piano for a wedding reception, because of a borrowed coat, Ripley was mistaken by the billionaire rich and ship king Greenleaf for his son's classmate at Princeton University (the old man It's also confusing). The ship king saw that he was honest and loyal, so he hired Ripley at a high price to go to Rome to persuade his son Dick (Jude Law), who was all about enjoying himself and not the family business, to return to preside over the family business. Of course, the poor jingle Ripley can't refuse, and the ship king said that if he doesn't persuade him to come back, he can treat it as a tour. So next to the sunny beach in Rome, our little suffer. . Oh it's not the first time Ripley's classmate has met the handsome, suave Dick; his wealth, beauty, first-rate taste, beautiful girlfriend Maggie (Gwyneth Paltrow), and a luxurious lifestyle , All deeply attracted this poor boy in New York. Using the information from familiarity and investigation, Repp pretended that he also likes jazz (after a long investigation in advance), and gained Dick's trust. The two really hit it off. Dick even invited him, himself and his girlfriend. living together! While getting along with him day and night, Tom Ripley gradually fell in love with this beautiful and unruly man. . . It seems that the plot here is just a somewhat obscure love story about an ignorant teenager, but the plot after that has taken a sharp turn! . . . The arrival of Dick's other friend Freddie broke their seemingly peaceful life. He pointed out that Ripley was just a parasite living by Dick's side. He spent the funds provided by the ship king and wore Dick's clothes. Live in Dick's house. . During this period, Ripley also faintly expressed his admiration for Dick several times (stupid, didn't you see anyone having a girlfriend- - people are straight); all this gradually alienates Dick; Dick then replaces Ripley with Ripley on a ski trip with him, and indirectly but cruelly asks Ripley to leave his own Live, go back to New York. . . Ripley initially thought that Dick was disgusted with eating him and wearing him, so when he was out rowing, he told Dick that he wanted to go back to New York to save enough money, and then come back to him (in love); but Dick Very decisively rejected his plan, and now he only wants to drive Ripley away; he completely ignores Ripley's sympathy (Dick is not a good thing himself, he wants to enjoy, plays with women and has an affair, and cannot accept criticism , as soon as the novelty is lost, others will be left out), and said all kinds of questions that have been avoided before, "We haven't met in Princeton at all, right?" "You pretended to like jazz in order to be close to me" "You are a third-rate scum parasite" (Aren't you looking for shi). Facing the cruel and naked humiliation of his beloved, Ripley lost his mind, and he raised the oars and smashed Dick's head (the real NICE BOAT = =). .

Ripley, who took off his glasses after going ashore alone, was accidentally mistaken for Dick by the waiter at the counter. Ripley, who had just made an irreversible mistake, had a sinful idea, he had to use his ability to disguise and imitate. Fulfilling a wish that has always been in his dreams - that is to become Dick and replace it!

In the middle of the story, the climax has just begun. In order to become Dick, Ripley begins his life of deception and disguise; facing the police, Dick's love Maggie, facing the former acquaintance, facing the old ship king, Ripley uses Cleverly and slickly use one lie to round up another, just like the title of the film, Ripley is a genius in disguise, he can deal with various characters by himself; but he also has weaknesses, he is always just a debut A rookie liar, he just entered the industry and he couldn't face all changes without any disturbance. . . Once, when he became Dick and dated the second girl, he happened to meet Dick's girlfriend Maggie. . His heart was so flustered, but he was still calm on the surface, and after the eloquent nonsense, he pulled the second female lead smoothly. . . Every time he encounters unknowable mistakes and changes, he will cause himself to panic, but every time he can use his extraordinary intellect to save himself from danger. . . (In fact, such a genius is more attractive than the master mind plots in many films that are more like prophets. The only one who can predict without mistakes and every step can only be God.) But things are getting worse and worse, as the police As the investigation deepened, all kinds of evidence pointed to him as the murderer of Freddy (Freddy saw through him and was silenced, and Ripley used different voices to pretend that they were talking when Lafreddy got into the car. It is a classic to listen to forged evidence to a couple not far away.) Ripley, who finally lost his way out, forged a suicide note written by "self" to Tom Ripley, and left Rome successfully and became himself again. And those who discovered Ripley's flaws, such as Freddy, who had been looking at him for a long time, were decisively brought down; Maggie said everything but because Ripley's lies were too perfect, no one believed her! (The Ship King even gave him a portion of his son's inheritance); and his new love, Pete, who knew little, was also strangled by Ripley's fear of not being able to hide the truth. . .

To be honest, I just started watching this movie, just because Matt Damon, who just debuted in the stills, is so young and so young! How did such a saucy year become the omnipotent muscular man in Bournemouth, so I decided to look for it! The name that follows Damon at the beginning of the film is Jude Law of "Artificial Intelligence"! It's really an unexpected surprise. It's true to see the green years of two contemporary male stars in one movie. . . So when I saw it later, I slowly remembered that the heroine is the first secret pepper in "Iron Man"! No wonder it's so familiar~ Well, it's Brad Pitt's ex-girlfriend. . This movie just won the Oscar for best actress before it came out. I am ignorant. . Yep. . Then he looked back at the second girl. . . . This is not the Queen of the Lord of the Rings! Back then, they were all still unknown or just emerging young people! Director Anthony Mingora's casting skills are evident. . . .



The other star of the film is Jude Law, who is going to play a person with a beautiful appearance but a serious mental defect. . It was his ruthlessness and change that deeply hurt Ripley, leading to the transformation of his personality (NICE BOAT). How feisty he was back then! . A role that looks like a vase, but requires unparalleled acting skills. He perfectly interprets the uninhibited and romantic character of Dick, a playboy. . . After all, the role he is going to play has to unknowingly bend Ripley, who was originally sexually normal (Ripley dressed as Dick on a cruise to Italy to please the female number two), which requires What a charm! ! And those who watched the film all sighed that he really did it. . . Tsk tsk, the bright Italian sunshine was made for him in the film, and even the director had to praise Jude Law for being "unbearably handsome", and he fully embodied the charisma Dick needed and completely dominated The first half of the video! Not only Matt Damon, but even Gwyneth paled in front of him, thoroughly interpreting the word enchanting! And look at the uncle who is suffering from hair loss and baldness now. . . . But I have to sigh that time is really a dragon slayer. . . .

As the most controversial film of the year in 1999, Matt Damon played a somewhat sensitive, sad and inferior alternative genius perverted killer Tom with superb acting skills that surpassed his famous work (I think so) "Psycho Catcher" Ripley. . . For each of us, there must have been a desire to be someone we envy and to live a completely different life. This is a desire that stems from human nature itself. . . . The role of Ripley is the magnification of the original author's desire from the depths of people's hearts. As a human being, everything Ripley has done is unforgivable and beyond question. But we can't help but feel sorry for Ripley, you can't help worrying about whether the lie will be exposed for him, and you will be as secretly relieved as he is when he escapes. . . why? This is because when a fictional character reflects your inner desires, you will subconsciously protect him. You are afraid that he will reveal his secrets and make various excuses for his crimes. The deeper fear is that you are afraid of being him. . At the end of the film, Ripley just got away with it like this. In the Chinese dynasty, the plot must be harmonious. How can the criminal escape the pursuit of the great people's police! However, the plot does not have to punish Ripley. . Although he escaped the pursuit of the French Open, in the end, in order to cover up his flaws, he killed another lover, Pete. . . In order to protect yourself, you must attack the person you love the most time and time again. . . What could be more difficult than this? ?

    I'm so naive to think this is an inspirational story.... In the middle of a group of collagen-rich future big names, the motor has become the one that brings down the value of the face, the young Jack Davenport pursed his lips A smile can melt people.

    Good things about Tom Ripley? Could take some time. Tom is talented. Tom is tender. Tom is beautiful. Tom is a mystery. ... Tom is not a nobody. Tom has secrets he doesn't want to tell me, and I wish he would. Tom has nightmares. That's not a good ting. Tom has someone to love him, that is a good thing.
