The Talented Mr. Ripley / The classic (self-thinking) lines about the Chamber of Secrets

Trystan 2022-03-21 09:01:27

Many movies have become classics because of the heartfelt words said in the movie. For example, "The Pianist at Sea", of course, I don't know why the last big sermon is so popular. However, the lines about the secret room in "Genius Ripley" are really memorable, just like the line of Huang Weiwen, a famous contemporary Chinese poet, in "Return to the Original Form":

"You know a person, who is not secretive" I have

seen the movie Friends, it's worth remembering:


Don't you just take the past

and put it in a room in the basement,

and lock the door

and never go in there ?

- That's what I do.

- God, yes.

But, of course, in my case,

it's probably a whole building.

And then you meet someone special,

and all you want to do

is toss them the key.

Say "Open up. Step inside."

But you can't...

because it's dark. ..

and there are demons.

And if anybody saw

how ugly it is--

Now that's the music talking.

It's harder to be bleak if you're

playing "Knees Up, Mother Brown."

I keep wanting to do that.

Fling...

the door open.

Just let the light in,

clean everything out.

If I could take a giant eraser

and rub out everything,

starting with myself--

The thing is, Peter, if--

- Hmm ?

- If--

If--

No key, huh ?


your key. . .



I'm completely lost.

I know.

I'm sorry, Peter.

I'm lost.

I'm gonna be stuck

in the basement, aren't I ?

Aren't I ?

That's my--

Terrible...

and alone...

and dark.

And I've lied...

about who I am.

and where I am.


Now no one'll ever find me...

    I was watching the film under JUDE LAW, but I just watched it now. I didn't expect this CAST to suit me. The story is also my favorite type. When I watched it, I thought of Match Point: People always need to cover up a lie with countless lies, and kill people. Silence is the last resort. . .

    At that time, Matt Damon had a cute face, Jude Law was so handsome, Queen Cate Blanchett and the new Oscar actress Gwyneth Paltrow were willing to be green leaves, and the lineup was really strong. . Tom went from envy and jealousy to love and hatred for Dickie to replace him, and to Peter from using to touching and then killing him. His selfish and vain nature imprisoned him forever in a dirty basement without keys. Nothing.

The Talented Mr. Ripley quotes

  • Tom Ripley: That scent you're wearing... I bought that for you, not Dickie. The thing about Dickie... so many things... That day when he was late coming back from Rome? I tried to tell you this. He was with another girl. I'm not talking about Meredith, either. Another girl who we met in a bar. He couldn't be faithful for five minutes. So when he makes a promise, it doesn't mean what it means when you make a promise, or I make a promise. He has so many realities, Dickie, and he believes them all. He lies, he lies, and that's his... and half the time he doesn't even realize he's doing it!

  • Tom Ripley: Ask me what I'd change about this moment.

    Peter: What would you change about this moment?

    Tom Ripley: Nothing.
