He always introduces himself as Tom. In fact, isn't he? Would he be worried that a ship king would casually ask someone in the know if the pianist we invited that day was a Princeton student named Tom? I think he is afraid. He said that he is good at imitating others, including handwriting and conversation. If he is good at it, he must be contacted. Why did he start learning piano? Will it be the same as when he started to like jazz, because he started to like it because of the need for contact? In the repeated imitation, he has begun to find himself, why? Just like what the captain of the captain said when he stepped out of the cabin, with the name of the captain of the ship, you don't have to worry about wherever you go. Obviously when another more important someone, than this nobody walks better and better. And before, when "Tom" let him know the ship king.
When I came into contact with Dick, he had all the things that Tom didn't have, self-confidence, happiness, contrary to Tom, he really lived as himself, Tom, who always felt that others were better, decided that what this person has is the best, from At first, Tom was content to be with this person and into his life, and slowly, he realized that to Dick, anyone was a passer-by, so, although it was difficult to accept, he accepted it. Until Dick mentioned that he was going to get married, it didn't belong to anyone, or that the sunshine that everyone could share would become someone else's, and he could no longer share it. After he was rejected for revealing his heart, the sun was finally destroyed by his own hands. I was quite surprised here, but what makes sense is that Tom put the corpse into a posture of hugging himself, in the arms of the former "Sunshine", Tom finally has the dick he has always wanted.
After being mistaken for Dick, Tom went ahead and started a double life, why? Apart from creating the illusion that both of them are still alive (it is relatively easy to do in a foreign country, and they are both blond Americans with similar stature, it is no problem to deceive the hotel owner) After creating this illusion, Tom used the identity of Dick and invited himself to dinner , and wrote to myself, and at the same time pathetic and pathetic, the one-man show that one man staged ended up killing himself.
From the beginning to the end, Tom successfully killed 3 people. What do these three people have in common? They all appear alone. They all know the secret that Tom doesn't want to be seen. And, most importantly, they all It's Alone. Skip to the end and fool everyone, Tom is with the happiness he finally finds, and at that moment, he says, he doesn't want to change anything. At that moment, he was happy for a moment. After that, the daughter of the textile king appeared. She brought a large number of companions. Tom couldn't push her off the boat. The only easy one was Pete. He loved Tom, so he was not prepared. ......
About why Tom succeeded, before killing Pete, Tom asked him, what do you think, Tom Ripley, is so good, Pete told him cutely and innocently, "Tom is gentle, this It's a good thing, Tom has nightmares, it's not good, but I love Tom, it's a good thing" It's very warm, right, but Tom still started, after watching the film, he thought about it, why? My answer is that because he wasn't even "Tom," because it wasn't Tom, and he wasn't Dick, "he" became the nobody, and then, as he himself said, in order to be someone, the nobody wasn't even anymore Existence....
from nobody, to Tom of Princeton, to Dick, son of the ship king, but after killing 3 or more people, if he disappears, then disappear in the end Who, who will care, and then, this nobody, will disappear one day...
