What the fuck did I just watch?
Talented Mr. Ripley
>>220434976I feel like this could've been a better film if it was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
>>220434976Homoerotic men frolicking around
>>220434984what was his problem?
Superior adaptation.
a jealous woman's idea of male homosexuality
>>220435035Jude law was fucking hot tho
>>220434976So why he murdered the dude at the end?? To get away from previous murder?? Is it just a loop? Psychopats will never get to live a loving fulfilling life? Whats the IDEA behind this film??? tv help me out I dont want to ask reddit
>>220435155he doesn´t want anyone to find out that he is le gay.he is a selfhateing , murderous gay little fella.
>>220434976The carefree 1950s life you'll never get to experience
>>220435175No way its all about his gayness bro
>>220434999>worse
>>220434976Films with similar vibe?
>>220435065Not as hot as this
>>220435155>Is it just a loop? Psychopats will never get to live a loving fulfilling life?^
>>220435423>>220434976thisi love the vibes when they're just sitting in european coffee shops and bars talking. 'the dreamers' has a similar feeling. been looking for similar chill films. any suggestions
>>220435517it's close
>>220435578mektoub my love intermezzo
>>220435578>any suggestions
>>220435155Tom Ripley kills Peter Smith-Kingsley because Peter has become a threat to the identity Tom has built through lies, impersonation, and earlier murders.By that point in the story:>Tom has already murdered Dickie Greenleaf and Freddie Miles.>He has spent the movie switching between being “Tom Ripley” and pretending to be Dickie.>Peter is one of the few people who genuinely loves and trusts Tom without manipulation.The immediate reason for the murder is that Tom realizes his two worlds are colliding. On the ship, he learns that people from his past, especially Meredith, are close enough to expose contradictions in his story. Peter knows Tom personally and innocently references details that could unravel everything. Tom concludes that he cannot maintain his fabricated life and keep Peter alive at the same time.Psychologically, the scene also shows something deeper about Tom:>He desperately wants love, acceptance, and intimacy.>But he believes his real self is unlovable.>Every close relationship eventually becomes dangerous because intimacy increases the risk of exposure.So killing Peter is both:1. A practical act to protect himself from discovery.2. A tragic demonstration that Tom destroys the very connection he wants most.
>>220435696thank you chatgpt
>>22043497690s remakeslop. watch the original with Chad Delon >>220435035 instead
>>220435689looks interesting, i've never heard of it plus sexy norwegian accents. what more could a guy want!thanks!!!
>>220434976The best movie of 1999, which says a lot given how many great movies came out that year
>>220435696thanks grok
>>220435517>>220435065Do you guys think that if I looked like Jude Law or Alain Delon I could pull some girls and have sex with them? Without changing my current personality?
>>220435732Ur welcome
>>220436008if you shower and put on some clean clothes, and look like you can take care of yourself, women will fall at your feet. you just gotta not look like a tramp. and say hi to as many women as you can, if they smile and say hi back... you're onto a winner.
Watch Ripley's Game w/ Malkovich instead. Much funner movie, though not as artsy. You are welcome.
>>220436228>watch the sequel instead... why not both?
>>220436270He said, "wtf did I just watch?" so I figured it was too weird, odd, highbrow, artsy, pretentious, whatever for him. RG is much more approachable and is more of a traditional suspense/crime thriller bordering on action movie than a slow-burning, psychological thriller. But by all means, watch both. Watch them all! Life is a smorgasbord.
>>220436046Lies, girls hate me. If I looked like Alain and Jude it would be so easy. But I agree that my weird autistic personality ruins the mood for the girls.
>>220435689loved the soundtrack in this
>>220437309are you fat or ugly? you know how many fat and ugly guys i know that have girlfriends? LOTS. because they have jobs and cars and apartments and they brush their teeth. thats it.remember, most girls are useless, and users. they'll use you for money, a home, a car ride, whatever, because they are useless. if you have all that shit, and look clean, they'll see that and use you. meanwhile you get free sex. everybody wins.
>>220435696>Psychologically, the scene also shows something deeper about Tom:>>He desperately wants love, acceptance, and intimacy.>>But he believes his real self is unlovable.>>Every close relationship eventually becomes dangerous because intimacy increases the risk of exposure.Holy shit, i guess now i know why i relate to the mc.It's like w/ Shinji and the Hedgehog's Dilemma in Evangelion.
>>220434976>What the fuck did I just watch?Hollyweird gay for pay.
>>220434976Matt Damon is miscast as Ripley, he looks the same social status as Jude Law, not a little runt from a broken home trying to LARP
>>220436439thenk you
>>220434976He was indeed talented and extremely homosexualCute Goop though
TOMMY, HOW'S THE PEEPING
>>220437599What stops them from cheating on me?
>>220435578Parthenope
>>220434976I think in his psychopathic mind he admires rich people and conflates friendship with them with intimacy. It's not necessarily that he's gay more than he just wants to fuck every rich person.
it's aging like a fine wine
>>220434976>it's Matt Damon playing the smartest man in the world again...
>>220435752>>220435035Is he still SUPER GAY in the original?
>>220437599I will never have the sex and I'm actually ok with that. I have moved on.
>>220434999Terrible. Take a lap.
>>220439555He was based in this movie.
>>220435217This movie made me yearn for a group of rich friends I can hang with and do rich shit like sailing and skiing on a whim. IRL I could afford all this but I have like 3 friends total and they're wagies with kids
>>220436008Looking like Delon or Law will change your personality.
>>220440178Fair. The "lol just have basic hygiene bro" meme is ridiculous. Some guys just don't have the personality for it or the face to make up for that. You should look into paid sex at least, better than nothing
>>220439034Nah it's perfect. He looks good enough to blend in but still can't pull it off exactly because he wasn't raised in that environment. The story works best when he's tantalizingly close
>>220434976A film that would be a 10/10 if it ended when Meredith calls out "Dickie!" on the ship & Tom pretends not to hear her before turning around. Leaving it ambiguous (even with the mis-en-scene from the start) would've been much better than the scenes that follow that moment.
>>220436008just be yourself, you can do anything.
>>220439034No. I say this in every Talented Mr. Ripley thread I see ( roughly two per year), but Damon's acting when PSH is chastising him about where Dickie is and how the only thing that looks like Dickie in the apartment is Tom himself is some of the best acting I've ever seen. Tom's smiling face holding back a flood of anger in that moment alone is worth the price of admission.
>>220434976was he gay in the books? i can't tell if that subtext is a "miramax" addition or if that's how the story was originally written that he was a devious and manipulative homo that wanted to live someone elses life, regardless this movie is shot well the cast is good and the locations are probably the best part of the whole thing
>>220441541it is the quintessential, original, and never topped, "wait this is about fags isn't it" book.
>>220441541not explicitly, but it's coded in a 1950s way. great book written from a sociopath's POV.
>>220441541Yeah it was pretty obvious he was gay.Remember the book was released in 1955. The author can't openly make the character gay without facing backlash and boycotts, so she gives subtle hints.
>>220442502He wasn’t gay he was just psychologically so obsessed with money and status and the rich lifestyle that he uncontrollably do literally anything to keep unto it, including gay sex.
>>220442689In the books, he freaks out after seeing Dickie kiss Marge. That pretty much confirms he is a homo.
>>220439598absolutely nothing. they will cheat on you 100% of the time. expect it. think of them as an uncontrollable child that fucks up continuously. dont get angry at them, their eggs crave semen. as long as you keep fulfilling that role the cheating should be minimal.
>>220434976Presumably Talented Mr. Ripley.
>>220434976>>220434984Watch Purple Noon
>>220441190>>220440178You fags are straight up wrong, there's no debate. I'm a solid 6/10 and have pulled (both short and long term) girls way out of my league physically by making a conscious effort to learn to not be a repulsively autistic caveman. It quite literally is as easy as making some effort to clean up, dress normally and take enough of an interest in normal people shit to be able to talk about it. Then you just go on as many dates as possible for practice. You'll blow the first 5-10 by being incapable of holding a normal conversation, but eventually it'll get smoother. Girls are not nearly as hung up on physique as you might think. Being good company gets you much further. Anyways, fuck you.
>>220443649Dude fuck off for shitting up the thread with this faggot incel shit nobody fucking cares.This entire site is filled with cancer.
>>220434976At first I thought his signs of romantic feelings were a deliberate display to manipulate and socially engineer what's-his-face
>>220444586He's a peter puffer
>>220434976this was better.
>>220434976Watch the American friend (1977) for more ripley kino
>>220435065Still is.
>>220435065Norwood cope
I liked it.
>>220434976PSH stealing the whole film.
>>220445289I liked goop because she was still young and her eggs were fertile
>>220434984In what was he talented anyways?
>>220441184That's true, but I wonder if girls will still feel nauseous around me.
>>220441417S2
>>220443649Dude girls despise me, and it's alright, I'm not depressed or angry, life goes on, it's fun and I love it!
>>220442790Alright, thanks for the advice. I'll try to reduce her cheatings to the bare minimum.
>>220434976Anyone else get the hots for Meredith?
>>220441541I haven't seen the film in years but the acting still stands out to me (as does the location shooting). Good to great performances all around. Other Patricia Highsmith recs: The Blunderer and The Price of Salt (basis for the movie Carol).
