Talented

It is really a wonderful movie.
The film translates "Talented" into "genius", and then the film is called "Genius Ripley". I think this translation is a bit excessive, at least not relevant to the topic. At the beginning, I had a little misunderstanding that it was a movie like "Mind Catcher" that introduced some kind of buried talent. The reason why it is not suitable is that everyone who has watched the movie can probably understand that ripley is a bit clever, but it is by no means a genius. From the later stage, there were even some undesirable mistakes. The protagonist himself is also in the goddess of luck. His favor fell and stumbled before he survived. To confirm the lines of Jude Law who was killed earlier, we can know that the Talent referred to here should refer to a certain skill, and Talented refers to being good at what to do rather than genius, then what is referred to here should be his profession: (that is He was frank with Jude Law when he first met Jude Law) pretending to be someone else, and with ease.

But the reality is cruel after all. It is okay to pretend to be a one-off goal that will never be exposed in the future, but in an intricate network of interpersonal relationships, our imitative ripley gradually began to be overwhelmed. Coming from the lower class, relying solely on short-term reproducible memories and his little cleverness, he has gradually become unable to withstand all kinds of unexpected situations that he could not foresee and could not foresee.

Many people can find many points of sympathy from Ripley, and even can't stand it because they are afraid to see the footage of him being caught. This is normal. The embarrassment he was discovered when he was happy while wearing his expensive clothes while Jude Law was away, and when he wanted to buy one or two works of art after he had money, he didn’t expect that he could only be used to kill people in the end. He was insulted by others. The panic at the time and the painful feeling of being betrayed after he invested in his emotions, his kind of panic and confusion from his heart can easily resonate with people. Towards the end of the film, he finally watched the sunrise with his beloved man on the yacht and thought that this painful suffering was finally over, and he could finally be himself, but he was next to Dmitry. The encounter with Ryan once again brought him back to reality. When he tentatively asked if she came alone, he was thinking about using the same way to end her life to protect his secrets, and found that the boat was full of acquaintances. But he had to kill the only man he gave the key, and strained his throat while tearing, until the last shot ended, I could finally relax the nerves that had been tense, my suffering was over, his , It seems that there is never an end.

After all, there is always a gap in society. Before something doesn't belong to you, you force it to ask for it, and it's only yourself that gets hurt in the end. If you don’t belong to you, you pretend, so it’s called vanity; if you can’t afford it, you buy it, so it’s called luxury. Maybe this is the case. When you really have wealth, you will be qualified to despise and hate wealth. Otherwise, you can only imagine how others do it, but you can never really understand it, because it is not yours.
