      A dark story with a unique taste of warm yellow tones

      First of all, I have to say that Jude Law was really too handsome when he was young, and he superbly showed the ruffian of the rich second generation. Although it is a simple plot, it grasps the rhythm very well. The film makes good use of voiceovers to advance the plot. The best use is when Ripley is crying and killing Pete, which is too tasteful. In addition, this film has a suspenseful color, the most classic suspense setting method: when will the murder be discovered, and when will it be...

      As for why Peter was brutally killed in the end, it was too cruel! I'm really in a mood! ! !

      Peter and Ripley are gay, they can't be known to Rogie when they are together, because it was ruled out that Ripley was gay, Rogie came with his family, and he wanted to lie, so he could only kill Phi Dee sadly. , didn't you find him crying when he lay on top of him and listened to his words that moved me too (the words he said were carefully worded!)? His expression was blank as he returned to the other room to sit. As if there was only an empty shell left. He's completely locked in a dark...

      Behind the scenes of the film <Excerpt from Encyclopedia & Movie Network> In 2000, it was still an era of discrimination against homosexuality, no wonder it was all nominated!

      if we could go back in time

      "If I could go back in time, if I could do it all over again, I would choose to start with myself, start with borrowing a coat."
      When we finished watching the movie with Pitt's pain and Ripley's sobbing, we went back to When we look back at Ripley's monologue at the beginning of the film, it is not difficult to see that Ripley is not a complete bad guy. His blackening process and desire expansion process are caused by the temptation to escalate a little bit. result. From borrowing a coat...

      The dark side of human nature

      Tom ends up saying, "I'll never get out right, I'll be stuck in a dark basement forever?" Maggie says, "I don't think Tom Ripley will ever get into trouble" Peter says: " Tom Ripley can never be insignificant" Yes, Tom Ripley's purpose in life has been achieved. He got a great fortune, slept with Peter, played Gredio's mate in front of people, and no one knew what the truth was. The truth is forever locked in the dark basement, rotting and stinking like the corpses of Dick and Freddy. Sadly,...

      No matter what you do, you will give yourself a reasonable excuse. Who would consider themselves a bad person? You can keep the past in the basement, lock the door, and never think about it, I do. Until you meet your sweetheart, you just want to give him the key and let him unlock the lock and walk into your heart. But you can't, because your heart is too dark, you hide your inner demons, and you don't want people to see your...

      ........All kinds of heartache! ! ! ! ! Although I know that this product will be a cup... I want to close the video several times in the middle.... I still hope that Ripley can be happy forever! ! ! !...

      Depressed and speechless~ Ripley, I understand your low self-esteem and innate sense of weakness, your love is so strong that you hate it, so it's also reasonable, when you go the wrong way to cover up the truth, you I found that Pete loves everything about you, and he captured your beauty~ I copied the life of the person I loved but lost the sight of turning around~ Cass is violent, Jude Law is so handsome and savage~ I feel infinitely sad, dedicated To every humble...

      [8 points] The viewing time was 2000. The plot of the movie is dark enough, and for such a crime-themed movie, as long as justice does not defeat evil in the end, but the criminal escapes with impunity, I am habitually willing to give extra points. It's long past the fairy tale age. The princess married the prince, but she didn't live a happy life ever since. It was the prince who then killed his father-in-law, locked the princess in the Tower of London, and was drunk to death, singing with a...

      Peter: Well maybe, but you're still tormented. You must be. You've killed someone.

      Tom Ripley: 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.

      Peter: God, Yes. But, of course, in my case, it's probably a whole building.

      Tom Ripley: 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...
