After watching this film after a lapse of two years, I have had another insight: it is not a circle at all, you try your best to squeeze in and have fun together for a few days, then you naively think that people will trust you, Take you as a brother? !

So when the playboy starts to get tired of him, the male protagonist's little self-esteem can't stand it, and he's going to kill him.
In fact, there is a conversation between Melty and Ripley at the fountain that says it all: "It seems like people like us who are born rich only seem to be in the company of other people who are rich and have the same contempt for money. I really feel comfortable." Thanks to the director for letting Ripley live in the end
