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 murdered again; every time it is about to be discovered, it can arouse the audience's heart to explore. I like the ending the most, when Ripley is really locked in the basement and slowly suffers in his heart, slowly getting wet and rotten... The mirror around him, the door slowly closing, is very intriguing.

1. "Highly IQ" crime thriller, Matt Damon and Jude Law gave a terrifying performance. 2. It's a remake of Rene Clement's [The Dead Sea], adapted from Patricia Highsmith's novel, no wonder I vaguely smell the gloomy breath and male hormones of [Stranger on a Train]. 3. It's classic and dark, but I don't like any of Anthony Minghella's works for some reason. 4. Parents can't choose you either. (7.5/10)

Tom Ripley: I always thought it would be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.

Peter: Sorry, I'm completely lost.
Tom Ripley: I know. I'm lost, too. I'm going to be stuck in the basement, aren't I, that's my, that's my... terrible, and alone, and dark, and I've lied about who I am, and where I am, and now no-one will ever find me.
Peter: What do you mean... lied about who you are?
Tom Ripley: I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody.
Peter: What are you talking about? You're not a nobody. That's the last thing you are.
