When we finished watching the movie with Pitt's pain and Ripley's sobbing, we went back to When we look back at Ripley's monologue at the beginning of the film, it is not difficult to see that Ripley is not a complete bad guy. His blackening process and desire expansion process are caused by the temptation to escalate a little bit. result. From borrowing a coat to impersonate a Princeton student, to sneaking into the upper class to play, to gaining trust and going to Europe, and even changing his body to replace the dandy boy, he felt the courtesy and respect that he could never experience as a small person. When he got deeper and deeper, he also repented and suffered, but in order to lock the room full of darkness and sin and protect his key, he chose any means.
God opens a door for you and closes a window for you. If Ripley didn't have too much guilt when he killed Dick and Fred, then he killed Pete in extreme pain and desperation. Pete's death is like the whip of God, which will always be It was taken out to beat Ripley's seemingly strong but extremely fragile heart. Even if he succeeds in the future, Pete's death will be a punishment and make him miserable.
Although Dick's death was an accident, it was also inevitable for Dick to challenge the bottom line of Ripley's character. Ripley's feelings for Dick at the beginning are complex and sincere, he admires everything about Dick, his watch, his rings, his clothes, his girlfriend and most of all his identity, but he is only envious but He didn't dare to covet, he just wanted to be able to share the life of a rich boy with Dick, so he studied Dick, figured out Dick, and even deliberately tried to please Dick in terms of hobbies. But just when he thought he was blending in with Dick, Dick's ruthless piercing made him feel ashamed, and turned to anger. When he knocked down Dick, who was injured in the head, he could choose to stop, but due to excessive The anger caused him to go crazy again and again, and it didn't stop until Dick died.
Fred's death was due to his disdain for Ripley, who saw through Ripley's tricks completely and thought he was in complete control of the situation. Such self-confidence and stubbornness are exactly the same as Dick's. They are both a kind of spiritual crushing cultivated by the rich second generation under the influence of money and material. They do not consider each other's feelings or anticipate each other's behavior. Self-righteous superiority has become the main reason for the death of the two of them in Jiuquan.
If Ripley didn't regret killing someone because he replaced Dick and enjoyed the upper class life, then Pete's death would definitely make Ripley want to start over. Unlike Dick's reckless behavior, Pete, who is also from the upper class, is suave and amiable. Ripley doesn't have to change himself like he did with Dick. He only needs to be Ripley to attract Pete. They have common interests and the same belief and taste. Ripley found confidence and self in Pete. As reluctant and incongruous as being with Dick, if it continues to develop, Ripley and Pete are likely to stage the Italian version of Brokeback Mountain, but just when everyone was sincerely wishing this good cp, the big devil appeared.
For Ripley, the Big Devil was always an anachronistic character, and at the dock in Italy, she pointed out that Ripley was picking up luggage that started with an r, not the G that he pretended to be the Greenleaf family. In the theater, she became Maggie's sudden appearance Ripley faced the biggest crisis of dismantling, and finally Ripley's happy life began immediately, she led a large group of people to appear, causing Ripley to close his ugly room The wickets had to painfully choose to kill Pete. Of course, all of this is the result of Ripley pretending to be Dick Greenleaf. I think if Ripley is re-elected, he will definitely choose not to know the big devil in the first place. Perhaps, he will choose not to Europe at all. Come.
We all have nightmares, and when I wake up from the nightmare, I will feel extremely happy, like giving us a chance to choose again.
If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai. Many times we have such imaginations, if we can go back to the past, if we can do it all over again, it would be great, I will not do this or that. In fact, this is all intentional avoidance when we know the result. In fact, if we erase our memories from the past, we will still choose the path you want to avoid, because that is your truest thought and truest instinct.
