Devilish genius and elegant Mediterranean

The director tries to create a criminal who is not hateful or even likable, and makes the audience worry about his fate, hoping that he will escape the embarrassment and danger of exposure. I hope so too, and I hope he won't be full of loopholes, so that he can stop his abominable mutilation.
I carried my dislike of this man from start to finish, Tom Ripley, a greedy and perverted parasite, and a vile executioner who stifled beauty.
I don’t know the name of the actor who played Peter. It’s incredible that this elegant and sweet man fell in love with Ripley. He is the real charity given to Ripley by God, because on the boat near the end of the film, Ripley is right Peter said: "Do you know what else I want to change at this moment?...Nothing."
Peter is not a main character, but his gentleness and kindness are like the beauty of Italy in the 1930s, but tranquility contains enthusiasm. When you are in it Sometimes, it may be ignored, but after leaving, it is a beautiful dream from time to time.
Ripley always had a sense of atonement in front of Peter that he hoped to be relieved and hoped to stop, so he often confided to him openly. He exposed his essential inferiority and vulnerability because of the security that Peter brought him, but Peter never After studying deeply, he looked at other things purely with his own thorough heart. He thought Tom was beautiful, so he only cared about appreciation and love.
Of course, what I want to say is the same as Tom Ripley himself said: "You must be kidding."
May Di was originally a small role, but when the director learned that Cate Blanchett agreed to play this small role At that time, Mei Di’s role was increased again and again, but except for a meeting with Marge and Peter, Mei Di was cut off from this conspiracy. Although she was praised for her unique elegance in every move, I am deeply impressed by her. I feel sorry for the little girl-like coy of blind love. Mei Di is to prove that Ripley still has a conscience, but I would rather think that she is to prove that Ripley, who has always been a bit disgraced, has continued to consolidate his confidence in the upper class society. . In front of Mei Di, he was convinced that he was an absolute noble in terms of IQ and emotion.
He wants to be someone else and live like that person. On the surface, he succeeded, but he wants to pull his time in lies and exhaustion, so as to lose himself.
Repley is just a clown performing constantly. As long as the onlookers have a little insight, he will be confused. So when Fletdy discovered the secret in the room, he could only choose the most primitive method, killing people.
Once you take a wrong step, it will be forever, and there is no possibility of turning back.
Marge always doubted Tom. From Dizi's disappearance, just as he started accepting Tom without a city, this woman acted on her instinct. She loves Dickey deeply and thinks she knows Dickey, so she is busy chasing and following, but she finds nothing. Pretending and deceiving, she saw Ripley's smile as the ship sailed away from the shore, the truth drifting away. Although in the end she shouted hoarsely: "I know it's you!" But what is it, and who is he? It was still a fog, and only Marge's desperate screams were left in the air.
Let's go back to the culprit of this absurd story, Dick Genny.
Dickey is always radiant, wealthy and talented. With a childish charming smile, he speaks unscrupulously sweet words, bewitching but full of frankness, he can enjoy extravagant pleasure and make daily life full of style. This kind of person would make everyone around him dizzy, like floating on a floating cloud with no direction, so Ripley was attracted by his light, obsessed with his charm, and hated his ordinary even more. When Ditch stung his fragile self-esteem, Ripley's extreme love turned into hatred in an instant, so he killed him and replaced it.
But Dickey's death was not entirely Ripley's fault. His kind of elder brother could not squander all his wealth, talents, and charms for a lifetime like this, until his gray hair was gray. That is God's favoritism. His lover Shi Yunna committed suicide without her help after she was pregnant with her child. Although Ditch blew the saxophone with tears in her tears, this did not stop him from being romantic. Dickey reminds me of the famous British writer Oscar Wilde, they ultimately tragic fate, are derived from their own light, "when the warm sun as warm as others, but when he tired of the same Shique like a winter cold."
Total There is another Ripley, or Shi Yunna, or even himself, destroying this light.
