Turned out to be a satire

In fact, the first time I watched it, I only watched a few clips with what I couldn’t watch. I felt that the tension was a little worse, but this time I can watch it from the beginning and I think it’s still a very good film, as a continuation of the Ripley series. There is no shadow of the previous work. American criminals who occasionally get huge wealth usually choose Mexico or the Caribbean, but Ripley, who prides himself on having a few artworks in the United States, ran to Italy, the country of art, and sniffed one. Musicians act as wives, buy a large town house at a high price and decorate it according to their own taste, doing everything they can to arty. Unexpectedly, he was greatly belittled by a leukemia framer at a small party. What Ripley hated most was the attack on his taste, but in the film, everything he showed strengthened his vision of being a European. The image of a typical American who is crude and speculative can be said to be very helpless.

His piano skills: In the opening scene, he had a set of shots of playing the piano with his wife. Although the fingering is not flexible, the sound of that section is quite textured. I don’t know if it’s from the piano, but when he worked hard to get it out of the chicken coop Another very exquisite guqin, took the musician's wife to get the repaired violin, and just put her fingers up to rustle, she was stopped, the daughter-in-law said: "This is too advanced for you."

His joke: Scolding his accomplice’s Pi Hu costume is to buy a condom for the underworld boss, but his own costume is not much better than his accomplices. And you actually use newspapers to wrap up sketches of famous artists worth millions..., if this is the newspaper of the day, don't run away, sit on the ground and set up a street stall. After finding that the person who should have been strangled was not dead, the fake and funny complained that the hinge had no manual.

His killing: The marksmanship is first-rate, and he is very good at tapping the head with iron guys. These are all Americans' skills, but strangling is more layman, but this artistic way of killing people is also wrong with the position and gestures of his standing. In his posture, those who were strangled to death were casually able to pick out his eyeballs. And his carefully designed death trap used real traps very unimaginatively.

His taste, the green sofa cover was used in the library, and there was a scene where his front partner deliberately threw some egg yolk up like his nose deliberately, remembering a sentence that seemed to be in the tin drum, and left after he threw his nose. When he praised the cook, the gay and gourmet ex-comrade cruelly criticized the quality of his food. There is also a scene of him repairing silk pajamas and touching the hallway with a solemn expression while waiting for the killer. Naked girl on the beach.

This is definitely an Italian director. In the film, he explained his anger towards the vulgar Americans, perhaps for cultural aggression. It seems that there are still many Europeans and Americans who think that Australia is a base for the offspring of criminals and that people in New Zealand are like cannibal Maori. People and sheep live together. Conan Doyle also teased the short headed man in the book. The fact is that if you don't use the region to tease, there will be too little jokes, just like the various dialect dramas of the celestial dynasty.

As a satire, it is really a successful film, and as a feature film, it is actually very interesting.

Ripley's Game quotes

  • Tom Ripley: You know the most interesting thing about doing something terrible? After a few days, you can't even remember it.

  • Tom Ripley: I want you to call the man who sent you here. I want you to tell him you got a very long look at the two of us, we were definitely not the people on the train. Do you understand? If you do that, you do it convincingly, you walk out of here, we give you half a million dollars, okay? If you don't do it convincingly, I take you out back, and I run my fucking tractor over your head the rest of the day. Okay?
