Vibes, good stuff. It just so happens that it tells you that there are ghosts hidden in the body, when you see the characters in the movie do something that makes you feel hearty, it's because that's what you want but can't do. At that moment, you feel like you are in that situation. When vulnerability is seen through by others, when self-esteem is trampled by others, when you unknowingly pick up the knife in your hand, you will stab it hard, those ridicules, those contempt, everything falls under the weapon you are wielding. When the warm body gradually becomes cold, you will feel very regretful and afraid. However, unwillingness drives you forward. In order to whiten the past, lies come one after another, but society is not one person after all, too many factors control your future. Your world, perhaps after a sentence, is torn apart. You try to keep everything from happening, so you don't think about it anymore, but there are always people or things that remind you that you are trapped in it and can't extricate yourself. You hope to go back to the past, you regret it, but no one forgives your past, you have to pay the price, what you get is worse than before, you will live even more humble, and you will take on the shackles of the world. Only moving forward is the only thing you can think of. When something hinders you from moving forward, you have to find ways to get rid of him, because you are more and more afraid of losing. Even the original beauty can't make you stop because you are too afraid of losing.
Regarding dick, ripley likes dick, I think for sure. Dick is so attractive, even if you're not gay. In If You Are the One 1, Feng Yuanzheng's character has a sentence, how do you know if you don't try it, I didn't know it before. Ripley has bisexual potential, or he just likes all good things, Maggie, Dick, they are all good in his eyes. He saw Dick as his brother, a brother who taught himself to change, and what he wanted from Dick was attention, not because of his poverty, but because of his loneliness. But Dick, is a child, his casualness is the charm in the eyes of girls, but the helplessness in Ripley's eyes. When Dick announced that he was going to abandon him, he felt hopeless, he had begged, humble, but Dick said his essence without mercy, yes Dick is a child, he said nothing to take care of others , let alone a rippley who is not even a friend. Ripley's fragility collapsed in an instant, he needed anything to restore his remaining dignity, so he shot, beat Dick with pulp, but Ripley's shot was more out of his own instinct, because he A scared and timid person. When I killed Dick, I wondered if he could swim back so far away from the boat. Because of the misidentification of the hotel waiter, Rippley really started a life of identity replacement. Although he had been imitating before, but it was his imitation of a wealthy life at that time, and it was not until this day that he really lived the life of Dick. Ripley's way of impersonating Dick is not very good, so many moments I was scratching my head and trying to fast-forward the movie. Especially when the theater met Maggie, Ripley panicked in that dialogue. Fortunately, the director switched the scene to Melty and Ripley making a carriage home. I always thought Maggie's story would come to an end after that letter, and I didn't expect Maggie to be such a persistent woman any more than Ripley didn't expect Dick to marry Maggie.
Regarding Maggie, Ripley should have never loved, and she just likes a woman who simply wants Dick. Of course, this woman can be anyone, as long as it is the one that Dick loves the most. Maggie is a good girl. She once comforted the lost Riley, so in Riley's heart, Dick couldn't feel sorry for Maggie. Maggie's beauty is not only beautiful, but also kind. This is also the reason why Rippey couldn't kill Maggie. His panic when he was looking for tools was because of his hesitation. Kind people don't kill kind people. Just like the robbers in "Crash" said, black people don't rob black people. . I'm not a woman, so I can't understand why Maggie is so sure that Riley killed Dick, maybe in her eyes Riley is the one who took Dick completely away from her.
About Maitill, the first person Rippley met as Greenfly, I'm not sure how much Riley loves her, but when a poor man wins the favor of a rich girl as a rich man, he feels successful , Maitil is his beginning, the first time he enjoys the boons that Dick status brought him. Maytil always appears out of time, and it also gives Ripley the opportunity to carry on the lie. Maitil loves Riley or Dick, in fact, I think Riley is more, because Dick's identity is like a ticket to enter the aristocratic society, Riley attracts Maitil with his simplicity and humor, and at the end, with Maitil's The kiss is more like what was owed in the first half of the film and was added later.
As for Peter, when he appeared in the theater with Maggie, I thought it was another rich boy, and I thought Maggie found another love so soon. But when I found out that Peter was just an ordinary musician, I instantly felt a lot closer to him. Ripley's acting tricked Peter. Of course someone like Peter couldn't have been very good friends with Dick. So ripley and peter are similar at some point, there is no huge class difference, there is no sense of distance. Peter's concern for ripley is the beginning of their emotions. They both like piano, and classical music allows them to communicate with each other. This is different from ripley pretending to like jazz and dick together, who really likes jazz is dick and freddy. I don't think Peter should die, because humble people shouldn't kill humble people, but it's a pity that at that moment Ripley couldn't tell whether he was Ripley or Dick. It was shown in front of Peter, but the first time Peter thought he was sad after losing a friend, and this time when Peter found out about the kiss, he knew something complicated. I don't know if Peter's love for Ripley can make him keep some secrets, so Ripley kills him, I just feel pity but not angry.
Regarding the ending, I don't know if Ripley chose to escape again, but he was tired, because Ripley is not a person who can hide things in front of the person he loves, unless someone can help him keep a secret, but who else can he trust
