I don't think Ripley wanted himself to be such a cold-blooded villain as that. That's where I pity him, because he's a human being, and it's just that the ugly side of human nature is magnified in him. Ask ourselves, don't we have the kind of mentality that wants to get close to the person who is always shining on the top? Isn't it time to try to cover up and disguise a fact in front of parents, friends, teachers, and just anyone? We definitely have, but we finally realized that some people are doomed to not get it. If there is something wrong, you must admit it, because you can let it go after you admit it. Because most people can't bear the torment of their conscience and the fear of being caught all the time.
Dick was a dude, but Ripley was fascinated by him. Maybe everyone with Dick will like him, as Maggie said. In fact, Dick is a very smart person. From the beginning, he saw through Ripley's little tricks, what Princeton alumni, what he likes jazz music, and what he likes about him. Too smart people and too rich people often have nothing to pursue in life, so he just treats Ripley as a toy. Because it is new, he plays with it first, but he is tired of playing. I'm sorry, I can only say goodbye. And throwing all his contempt for you at you, he obviously ruined Ripley's heart. Or he actually intentionally watched him confess to him, for example, in that scene, it was a naked seduction. . . There are a lot of people in the world who are like Dick, and there are a lot of real people like Ripley. It's just that many people failed to become Ripley, not because of lack of intelligence, but because they learned to grow from here. Become stronger and braver.
Peter was the only sunshine I saw in the second half of the show, and I was wondering why when I went to Rome, Dick failed to introduce Ripley to Peter but to the arrogant Ferdy. It might be a little better if that were the case. Of course, this may be a woman's naivety. But at the end of the film, I really hope that the two of them can go on safely. Unexpectedly, Ripley actually killed the intimate lover who was gently explaining that he was a little bit. Tragic color. . I don't know what he was thinking when he killed him, it was a last resort, I understand that, because it is impossible to kill a rich girl. Anyway, what I was thinking at the time was that if it were me, I would have told him all this and jumped into the sea to kill myself. So this "last resort" he still put himself first.
What in the end fascinated him and abandoned love. Friendship, the basic morality of life. It may be the yearning for the upper class and the vanity of oneself, it may be the embarrassment of being afraid that the secret in the heart will be discovered, it may be a kind of habit, every time someone finds out or is about to expose his secret, he will kill him.
Finally, I want to say that Maggie yelled "I know it was you. I knew it was you!" before leaving the boat, and Dick's father was deeply shocked when he thought it wasn't Ripley, and sometimes what parents know about us may be true than love.
