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? ! Do you think you are indispensable? He also takes himself too seriously. In Dick's eyes, Ripley is just a playmate, and even as a playmate, he is not as good as Freddie. 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

    "Tell me, why is it that when man play, they always play at killing each other." The casting is quite authentic, but with the love of Gattaca, Matt Damon's brain has been replaced by Ethan Hawke, and the look has improved a lot. Jack Davenport's eyes can be seen.

    I thought it was a crime movie, but got some unexpected surprises. I prefer men like Peter. Lying on the bed, he smiled and said "some good qualities about Tom Ripley", his magnetic voice full of tenderness and affection. Tom's head rested on his back, laughing sadly, a silk scarf twisted in his hands... Peter's last struggle almost made me cry TUT
