Meet Mr. Ripley, he’s a fine-looking man unfortunately he doesn’t think so, playing piano is one of his many best talents, but that’s definitely not his greatest one. Forging signature, telling lies and impersonating practically anybody outshine all of his other talents. And before i forget, meet Mr. Dickie Greenleaf he’s filthy rich, he doesn’t work, he’s madly in love with jazz and just like his name he’s a dick. Mr. Ripley met Mr. Greenleaf they became friends, throughout their brief friendship Mr.ripley found his new hidden talent, which is murder and deception.
FREDDIE
I want this job of yours, Tommy. I was
just saying – You live in Italy, sleep in
Dickie’s house, eat Dickie’s food, wear
his clothes, and his father picks up the
tab. If you get bored, let me know, I’ll
do it!
MARGE
You really should go in, it’s marvellous.
RIPLEY
I’m fine.
She approaches him, conscious of his isolation. She’s in a
red bikini, and she towels herself dry as they speak.
MARGE
Are you okay?
RIPLEY
Sure.
They watch Dickie and Freddie fooling around in the water.
MARGE
The thing with Dickie – it’s like the sun
shines on you and it’s glorious, then he
forgets you and it’s very very cold.
RIPLEY
So I’m learning.
MARGE
He’s not even aware of it. When you’ve
got his attention you feel like you’re
the only person in the world. That’s why
everybody loves him. Other times…
I love how creepy Matt Damon’s character is in this movie, and despite that I feel sorry for him at the end when he has to … you know.
that creepy character works well with his acting, there’s two more Ripley’s film adaptation after this one, Ripley’s game and Ripley’s underground.
