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

    TOM is a nobody who works as a waiter in a hotel bathroom, but in the end he kills people, takes money, and lives a luxurious life that he couldn't believe. Is there only you in reality? If you hit people mercilessly, they will be afraid of you. Only treat men and women as stage horses, ride them exhausted, and drop them at the station, so that you can reach the peak of desire
