This movie has always been wanted to watch, but unfortunately I have never been able to find it, which shows the rarity . The film is 140 minutes long. When the end credits were pulled out, I whispered, "Ah? It's gone?" This shows the brilliance. I give this movie the highest possible rating of five stars.
Directed by Anthony Minghella, who directed The English Patient, which I really like. His other work, "Cold Mountain," is a little less personal and can be seen, but it is far less impressive than "The English Patient" and "The Genius Ripley."
"The Genius Ripley", this movie is enough to show Matt. Matt Damo's acting skills, he played a poor young man Tom Ripley, entrusted by a wealthy businessman, went to Italy to persuade his son Dick to return home. According to the development of the old-fashioned plot, the playboy Dick's fine clothes and good food and unrestrained lifestyle make him greedy, and even, because of his affection for Dick's beautiful girlfriend Maggie, he designs to kill Dick and replace him. .
The story didn't go that way. Humble Tom Ripley is hopelessly in love with sunny Dick. Either because of a firm heterosexual orientation, or a playboy indifference, or an innate sense of superiority, Dick scoffed at Tom's feelings. Tom accidentally kills Dick, and in order to protect himself, he repeatedly kills. In the end, the almost perfect incarnation, Peter, who loved him, was also destroyed by his own hands. In fact, Dick, who is obsessed with jazz, is not Tom's same kind. Peter, who is engaged in classical music, should be his best friend. However, love is blind and unreasonable.
It would be a mistake to think that this is a pure IQ crime movie like "catch me if you can". The film's deep and delicate depiction of emotions, human nature, and the psychology before and after the crime is far more attractive than the story itself. One can't help but sympathize with the murderer Tom, the humble, clumsy, passionate liar master full of passion and longing for love and an elegant, beautiful, comfortable life, yet witty. When the pursuit has become a luxury, Tom has to "bury the past in the basement, and then close the door and never enter". Isn't this a very sad thing? Even if he is a genius.
The film, very strangely, subverts the concept of right and wrong, hoping that "Skynet" will not be realized, and that the murderer Tom can escape. However, one unexpected encounter after another, one difficulty after another, came one after another. Tom's exhaustion, exhaustion, lies, wit, coincidence and luck... my heart is up and down, up and down. It's tiring to watch, but it's good-looking, a bit like a masochist, which is the charm of the movie.
Finally, study translations. "Genius Ripley" is Dick's girlfriend Maggie who believes that Tom is the murderer, but she has no evidence, so she has no choice but to go back with Dick's father and mock what Tom said before boarding the boat. To taste this level of irony, "Genius Ripley" is much more apt than another Chinese translation that has been praised by many people, "Intentions".
