I have no other choice but to love myself

The harder and humble life is to death, the more dissatisfaction and resentment will be in my heart.
It's just that these dissatisfaction and resentment are always hidden in the hearts of small people.

However, which psychologist said that people with low social status smile more often because they have to please others to earn a place for themselves, a meager salary, an opportunity they dream of, a little bonus It is enough to make them ecstatic.
Those more than others smile more brilliant people, not stupid X is the heart ordinary people can not bear to imagine the pain, do not believe you have to ask to see - because of low self-esteem, because self-esteem, because they can not meet the huge gap between the kind of embarrassment and life
and These are so boring and insignificant to those F*K rich families. They only know to enjoy their lives. They don't need to really care about their friends, they don't.

It is really difficult for me to comment on this film.
In this world, TNND is operated by money and status. It has never been fair, never.

A person’s story reflects his inner desires? No, that reflects our own desires.
At the beginning of the film, we saw Ripley borrow school uniforms to participate in piano accompaniment, gentle and beautiful Italian opera-like singing, high-end costumes and champagne food, and those beautiful things.
It can be seen that Ripley is smart but a little dull and dull. There seems to be a natural barrier between that class and him, and there is always some discomfort, and he doesn't know how to answer other people's questions.
Brushing suits for others, and secretly practicing on the stage at the end. Because of the borrowed school uniform, he was accidentally called to persuade the boy brother Ditch to go home. We saw that Ripley lived in a dark place and was in the basement. In ordinary places, he climbed up the long iron ladder, carrying a suitcase, and the driver of a limousine opened the door for him. What kind of mood he would be at this moment.
And what is the contrast of all this.

He always disliked Di Qi, the son of the brother, playing music is not long-term, and everywhere, the woman who was pregnant and committed suicide for him was only sad for a while and then stopped taking care of it, just left the local area.
This can show that Jude Law is very well-acted. He has a natural rich personality. He looks handsome and handsome, but is actually a kid who can't stand a little blow. What's the use of being rich? Just being self-willed and reckless, leaving his father is nothing.
He also feels new to Ripley. Once the fun is over, he throws it aside. Ripley has gone from envy and gratitude to gradually distorted feelings, jealousy, and unspeakable love (I don’t think that is gay. Love, love is inherently complicated, isn’t it?) The struggle of inferiority and self-esteem, he treats Diqi sincerely from the beginning, and sincerely hopes that he will live well...I don’t think it’s gay love, this kind of feeling. Which is so easy to tell.
Ditch said that Ripley could wear his clothes, but when Ripley tried on the suit and twisted his body to the music, Ditch came back and asked in an offended tone. I'm afraid it is no more embarrassing.
Ripley was even willing to help him withstand the sins of the pregnant suicide woman, but the son-in-law had an indifferent tone. Who cares? He just abandoned everything and ran to Rome to escape the problem.

The plot is very delicately written.
Ripley's occasional lie successfully confuses Melody, and then he talks to her and listens to operas in this capacity. This is the only identity that shows Ripley's character after using Dickey’s name. From the beginning it was-he hadn't seen Dickey when they met, and that was the lie.
Dickey’s girlfriend, Marge, is very clever and is gradually approaching the truth. Everything was discovered when the ring was discovered—the truth was revealed to her, and she can only be blamed for her weak strength. A truth is insignificant compared to several lies. .
The fat Freddy had despised Ripley from the beginning, and this man was damned smart and had no choice but to kill him.
Peter is a gentle and friendly guy—I even thought that if Ripley saw Peter in the first place, the story would probably be completely rewritten—the world would never have been if.

The turn of events that made me find interesting was a passage from Dickey's father-"Children can't choose parents... but parents can choose children."
And then Ripley got the property, which was really... I felt quite surprised.

The details are self-explanatory. At first, Dick was killed by mistake in anger, then Freddie was killed in order to protect himself, and Peter was killed in the end. There are so many details that are enough for fun.
The hotel staff mistakenly thought Ripley, who came back in a panic, for Dickey, this can be said to be the beginning.
This unexpected lie was out of control from the beginning.

Kill Freddie, this frivolous fat guy suspected Ripley from the beginning, scorned his life at will (flaws in disguise), banged him on the head, and then had a drama of going out drunk-it's a good thing for someone to see it. , Which created an alibi for him.
Subsequent letters and stolen license plates created another illusion of absconding.
The technique of this film was the best in the 1950s and 1970s. It was full of flaws and faltering, but it turned out to be a disaster.

I don't think this Ripley is terrible, but rather pitiful.
There is a kind of sad, compelling pain, just like Peter said, "Your sad song is too much."
However, it seems that after everything can be restarted, Ripley meets Melody again and can only choose to continue to move forward. .
Peter who got the key was the only obstacle.
I always felt that Ripley in front of Melody was confident and full of charm. It was himself. The only difference was his name.
Ripley himself was also in front of Peter, the only thing he didn't say was the truth.

Sad music flowed slowly, and the man said "Ripley's good place", but in the end his voice was gradually lowered to describe his ending.
The picture is beautiful, Italy, Rome, the opera house, and beautiful houses, but it is such a pitiful story.
Is there any other way? No, there is no other way, the boat is full of acquaintances.

Would you keep the past in the basement, then lock it, and never open it again?
I think I have locked it, and I have already lost the key.

I really have nothing to say to Ripley. If I were in his position, maybe I would do the same thing.
