The emotional relationship between him and him is unclear and cannot be understood clearly.
Personally, I would like to regard this emotion as between love and friendship. There is no need to classify emotion in the world, not to mention that the scale for measuring emotion varies from person to person, such as the exchange rate of currencies in different countries.
The most impressive scene is that Ripley and Dickie are in a boat on the sea. They are happy, and they are going to unbalance the emotional trend in each other's hearts. Ripley almost smashed into Dickie with the most unbearable humiliation. Dickie was his crush, an untouchable crush, and when Ripley thought it was a treasure, Dickie humiliated him like an annoying rat ant.
If you don't beg for return when you give, all the entanglements of love will be reduced by most.
