This is the 1960 film version of the author Patricia Highsmith's "Genius Ripley", the title of which is purple noon in English.
Unlike the 1999 movie version of Anthony Minghella's "Genius Ripley", this version of "The Sinking Dead" focuses more on showing how evil human nature is without a reason, how greedy human nature is, and how Ripley himself is So smart and so lucky, it didn't show Ripley's same-sex obsession with Philip. After killing Philip, he was able to escape the police and acquaintances again and again. Until the end of the film, after seeing the body of Philippe behind the ship, the police asked the maid to call Ripley over, and Ripley passed happily. The film came to an abrupt end. We couldn't guess the end of Ripley. It is possible that he will be brought to justice (this is the universal concept: justice is done, and the murderer will pay the price), but it is more likely that Ripley has escaped suspicion by virtue of his cunning and wit (this is the In reality, what will happen: murderers go unpunished, justice is delayed).
And Anthony Minghella’s version showed more of Philip’s selfishness and cruelty, which made Ripley finally intolerable and irritated, and finally took the risk and killed Philip. To some extent, this was a defense of Ripley’s murderous behavior, Repley. Lee chose to kill Philip because he was forced to do it as a last resort.
But is this really the case?
Ripley obtained the opportunity to get close to Philip by lying, but was discovered by Philip of various deceptive practices, and even after Philip discovered that Ripley had a homosexual affection for him, and was tragically rejected, Ripley then tried to cover up all this, Choose to kill Philip, then the fat friend who discovered the truth, and his own homosexual.
Ripley is a clever, lucky guy, and at the same time an extremely cruel, cold, anti-social personality who likes to play God and treats other people's lives as if it were grass.

Jude Law in 1999 and Philip in 1960 are very similar, maybe the main reason for choosing Jude Law to play.

Alandron really deserves to be "Europe's No. 1 Beautiful Man". He is so beautiful and a bit feminine at the same time.
Alain Delon’s impression is that his every move is always so "elegant" and his face is so charming, but in his heart he is a person who has long been "rotten": his every move seems "elegant" and cannot be hidden. He is vulgar, cruel, and indifferent, and he uses no means to achieve his goals. The director of "The Dead in the Wrath Sea" captured these characteristics of him well.

    if this is not porn i don't know what it is. To put it another way, you may not like to listen to it. I think Anthony Minghella's version is a little cheaper, but the character mining is much richer than this one. Matt Damon plays it. Really like a desperate social climber, all kinds of depression, embarrassment and turning points are also caught, just like a pervert. As for this version, Malandron is a "Lone Killer"-style liar. From his penetrating eyes, he can see that he is not an ordinary person, and he does not know how many times brighter than fireflies in the darkness. The last scene also has a sense of elegance that is obsessed with the success of her elaborate deception. In other words, he performed an image of a supervillain who transcends material gains and losses and has a higher spiritual desire. You said that the part of visiting the fish market has any purpose other than showing Delong's murderous charm in an all-round way?

    Passion at ten. Envy at eleven. Murder at noon.
