I have seen a lot of gruesome things throughout my career, but I'll never forget that death scene in the boat; the violence, the moment before the blood, the immediate change in Law's face...it was done very well.
@@turtleman2370I think the most disturbing film I've seen is either funny games or requiem for a dream although the latter is also kind of funny at times
yes, but it only works because of his sexuality and love. In the book he is also cleared in the end (without killing Peter) but has more of a paranoia left that he still might be caught.
The whole "upper crust" of society lives on a sea of lies and an orgy of violence but its the poor guy living by his wits who is the villain. What a twisted sick civilization we live in. The cure is waiting patiently just out of sight. Out of sight for most people that is.
I tried to watch this movie on TV some years ago, I couldn't concentrate as it was all dialogue and nothing to keep me glued to the screen. I'm glad I've seen this recap, now I can live in peace.
This is my favoriter movie, the beginning is a bit slow but it really picks up halfway, in my opinion at least. The fist time I watched this film i had no clue what it was about so the twist really got me shocked. The whole movie just has a special quality and vibe to it that had me glued to the screen and thinking about it four weeks after watching it. I just love it.
Great film, you get to experience the young talent of some amazing actors at the start of their careers. Definitely, a film you can re-watch a classic ❤❤
I've read Greg Sestero's The Disaster Artist too many times to count. This movie was mentioned several times in the book but I've never had the time to watch it. Thanks for this.
In the first few minutes... looking at his apartment, the way it is organized, all his preparations....this man is a survivor. He could have been a good spy.
I remember watching this film as a kid like 7/8 with my mom she had rented it when it came out on VHS I still really love this film Matt Damon delivered an amazing performance
I assumed when he set up the boat as being wrecked on rocks it was so they could find Dickies body, but not rule it murder. Now it just seems a strange detail though, why not just dump the body overboard and abandon the rowing boat? the voice over even says Dickie's body is on the boat when he scuttles it. To then steal bro's identity when his corpse may be identified just seems unnecessarily risky.
well it is set in the 1950s when forensics was not that highly developed making it hard to identify a body, plus dickie's face was disfigured and left in water for some time I'm assuming, making the body bloated and even harder to identify
There are more people like this, by passing every rule in the book than we would want to believe . Psychology tests for sociopaths should be taken for all jobs to stop these people entering the systems . Imagine such individuals in positions of power and authority.
I had to seriously root for the sociopathic underdog in this story despite how I hated his character at the same time. I never expected Matt Damon to play him so well and so used to watching the actor play the role of superhero in most films.
I didn't see anything in the trailer but blond kids going to the beach. Now I wish I had watched the movie before I watched this. Exactly the kind of plot I like.
Are we aware that Rome IS in Italy, right? XD Roma is the capital of Italy. (Vatican City is a different country, but they went to Roma, not Città del Vaticano)
Such an amazing movie, I love how hate-able they made a psychopath like Dickie. Perfect that they should pick a man like Jude Law to play someone so distasteful.
Because Dickie was spoiled rotten and lazy and his dad thought he found some chick he became obsessed with and disappeared with her, like he’d done before
James Rebhorn was a great character actor. He played an abusive father on as the world turns and it's sister show guiding light. He was like a good luck charm. Everyone that James Rebhorn worked with would win Oscars. Marisa Tomei, Julianne Moore, Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett. In The Book version his parents died in the Hudson River who would later be raised by his Aunt who was a bully. They had a young man who was a college student who was a Boarder and Tom would get him to talk about his College Life and deluded himself that "he" went to College. In The DVD Section, you see how lonely his life is without any Family or any real Friends.
It’s crazy how he got away. I feel bad for Dickie. He would have had such an amazing life ahead of him but unfortunately it was taken away by this psychopath.
Schools should have psychology as a compulsory subject. Everyone needs to know more about psychology, mental health and early symptoms of mental illnesses so everyone can differentiate and choose the right friends. Narcissistic Sociopaths and Psychopaths deserves to be alienated or even be expelled from further learning. Now that I know the damage these individuals are capable of I can clearly say that I have mostly seen narcissism in people I have been betrayed by since teenage years! It's something one is born with, it doesn't just develop later on in life when they're adults. One is *born* a narcissist and they should not be taught academic skills to make them even more capable of doing harm. These individuals use *anything* and *everything* against another individual, for example doctors use their knowledge to humiliate their victims in the long run only because they can! I know so many Psychopaths that use their academic background to abuse others, it's very unfair. Narcissists make the most out of every resource that's provided to them, or even *not* provided to them. They feel obligated to misuse their resources! If not given they go out of their way to steal things and use lies. They don't just randomly go around murdering people! Police think one needs to be a murderer in order to be diagnosed LOL it's so stupid.
I agree with your writing. My ex is a sociopath and does whatever she wants. Whatever, she, wants. And like Ripley in the movie, she doesn't get caught and instead gets rewarded! (Btw the one thing I hated about the ending was nobody had to die. He could have just told either the blonde lady or his bf the truth, and then whoever he choose would have kept their mouth shut. Then by the end of the voyage everything would have been fine.) But I agree, psychopaths and narcissists should be alienated from society or at the very least learned about in school. Sadly, I believe such a thing will not be possible for another 1,000 years of human civilization. Long, long, long after both me and you are gone. All I suggest now to others is read, read, read (such as "the sociopath next door" or "without conscience") and be careful of your social circle. That and go "no contact" if you have to.
If you like this movie check out "Purple Noon" (1960), "The American Friend" (1977), and "Ripley's Game" (2002). I haven't seen Ripley's Game yet but I'm sure it's worth a viewing.
I did not care very much for Purple Noon (although Alain Delon is a great actor), in my eyes the film deviates too much from the book. The American Friend, an adaptation of Ripley's Game with Dennis Hopper and Bruno Ganz has also some changes (primarily names, locations, nationalities, but also changes some aspects of Ripley's personality, as does the newer adaptation with John Malcovich, who is clearly too old too play a 30-year-old Ripley (still good film). Barry Pepper does a good job in "Ripley Under Ground" and comes quite close. Still, that makes 5 Ripley movies with 5 different actors for the title role. Also the whole continuity of the books is left out over these movies, a pity. Still enjoyable, though.
@@MoarRushPl0x yes, do that. I found it quite enjoyable. Should be available on DVD, maybe also streaming services like Amazon or Netflix depending on your region
He was able to peeps on his side and he kept the facade up. While Dickie’s girlfriend was hitting and yelling at him he didn’t let it shake him. Extremely calm.
I’ve been to Italy six times and not as exciting as this but then again more real. You would be amazed at what artistic architectural things I just stumbled upon walking around Rome and Verona. If you’re American and never been there you have no idea.
Jude Law and Philip Seymour Hoffman were very good in this, but the other cast were rather wooden imho. But a great story that couldn't be spoiled by that.
i just wished that somehow in some way, peter and tom could've lived better. a happier time. why did i even watch a psychological movie knowing i have a weak heart😭
lol why when it comes to the gays, it always ended with one of them is dead. even this movie was never really focused on his sexuality and the relationship.
where/when in the movie is it actually revealed that Ripley is kicked out of his parent's house due to his homosexuality? is this from the novel or is it an innovation in the film... I've seen the film several times, this is the first I've heard that he was a real homosexual as opposed to simply playing the part of one ...it is better to be a "fake somebody as opposed to a real nobody" (he says this while suffocating his friend before moving on to his relationship with Meredith)
He might not be a sociopath in the movie because he shows quite a bit of remorse for killing dickie and Peter but he is even more cold blooded in the books
I think that was difficult for Tom to hear; he wasn’t the somebody he wanted to be. Or it could be said Tom rigged the whole fight thing so he cud kill him. Repetition compulsion. Tom was placed in victom role and he came out swinging. According to the book he planned to kill Dickie in the boat. Like is said they’re goal oriented.
I love this movie too, it's so fascinating. I've read the book by Patricia Highsmith; books always go into more detail than a movie can show. I got such a psychological insight into Tom Ripley. You get a clue into how these types think, feel and operate. I am confused about the homosexuality part. Tom already intended to steal Dickeys identity and kill him. I didn't' understand how the homosexuality came into the picture and murdering others.
The book is in this aspect more subtle and dubious and more a desire to become Dickie instead of becoming his lover, I think, especially as the sequel books (Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game, The Boy who followed Ripley, Ripley Under Water) do not portray him as very interested in sex (he is married to the daughter of a wealthy factory owner and although they care a lot for each other, there is never a wish to procreate)
@@Dragon_Pierce i agree. Ms Highsmith depicted him as more interested in being somebody over sexuality. He is greedy. It’s so psychological. I tend to favor Freud, where sexuality is the inner force to behavior. To me she made it a bit confusing. I’d say his sex drive was transformed into greed and stealing others identity. A deep insecurity. So although he’s dangerous he really has no identity. He wants what others possess which are shallow ways of behaving. Anyway it’s so fascinating. Yes I read he did get married but he had issues with having sex almost as though he was repulsed. I don’t think there’s much mention of children. He is a child. I’ve not read the other books yet. I get sidetracked.

The shock of me thinking it was a romance drama movie, and not a thriller. That’s why I love this movie.
Me too, I’ve seen a lot of disturbing films but for some reason this one haunted me the most. The only film that gave me nightmares
@@turtleman2370I think the most disturbing film I've seen is either funny games or requiem for a dream although the latter is also kind of funny at times
I absolutely love this movie. The storyline, the Italian setting, the performances - and Jude Law in his youth is Adonis levels of gorgeous.
I don’t know. Never really cared for him much either on or off screen. Matt Damon, on the other hand looked like such a baby face in his youth.
@@rayva1 yes that's true 😊
@@rayva1 Matt was such a beautiful young guy.
This is the definition of winning but at what cost.
yes, but it only works because of his sexuality and love. In the book he is also cleared in the end (without killing Peter) but has more of a paranoia left that he still might be caught.
@@GinjouArmy Absolutely! He’s not easy on the competition to say the least.
@@Dragon_Pierce He doesn’t want to get caught, foremost in his mind.
Matt Damon can play a Villain very well. This movie and THE DEPARTED
Depaahhted
He's no villain he is an upstanding man who killed Costello and recommended Costigan for the medal of honor
And in Interstellar as Dr. Brandt
he's not a villain in this. he's an ant hero
The whole "upper crust" of society lives on a sea of lies and an orgy of violence but its the poor guy living by his wits who is the villain. What a twisted sick civilization we live in. The cure is waiting patiently just out of sight. Out of sight for most people that is.

Yes Sir you might fall asleep 😴
Thanks for movie recaps
LMAO!
Even I couldn't complete watching, quite a boring movie.
Great plot. Not so worthy execution.
This is my favoriter movie, the beginning is a bit slow but it really picks up halfway, in my opinion at least. The fist time I watched this film i had no clue what it was about so the twist really got me shocked.

Too late, no joke: I lost $140,000 to a sociopath last year (2021)
In the first few minutes... looking at his apartment, the way it is organized, all his preparations....this man is a survivor. He could have been a good spy.
this movie is a Bourne prequel
I remember watching this film as a kid like 7/8 with my mom she had rented it when it came out on VHS
I still really love this film Matt Damon delivered an amazing performance
Matt Damon was amazing in the role
He should have won the Oscar for best actor
Especially how Damon shifts his physical and sexual persona for the slighter effeminate Tom.
Thanks for this recap. I've always wanted to watch this movie.
I'm so glad that this channel is staying original!💗👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
ok so none of those people tried to contact police instead confront the guy alone and ends up dead ...ok what do you expect lol
The best part of this movie is when Philip Seymour Hoffman is playing the piano with one finger pissing off Ripley.
Superb!
It’s better to be a fake somebody than a fake nobody and it’s true but be tried it many times. The amount of respect you get is unbelievable
@@unvcht5046 amazing and terrifying what people will do for a dollar. He was heartless yet what others think is most important to him.

I don’t think that was his initial plan. I think once he realized he could assume his identity he started exploiting it.
well it is set in the 1950s when forensics was not that highly developed making it hard to identify a body, plus dickie's face was disfigured and left in water for some time I'm assuming, making the body bloated and even harder to identify
If they did find his body, it wouldn’t be easy to hide the fact he beat him to death with a oar.
6:06 OOhhh!!! THAT was smooth.

Missed the part where he threw Peter overboard.
Why did Dickie dad let him off?
Because Dickie was spoiled rotten and lazy and his dad thought he found some chick he became obsessed with and disappeared with her, like he’d done before
He’d be my first suspect. I think some parts of the movie are unrealistic.
Omg isn’t it Andrew Cunanan???? Yes, it is. with silly naive partners… made to be his victims.
He does reveal his true intentions at the beginning when he meets Dickie not later
Wow! Amazing cast indeed

Actually Dickie was probably more sociopathic than Tom. Many sociopaths characters come out of Princeton.
No more come out of Princeton than anywhere else. It is just they're more successful and more likely to be in the public eye.
@@valkyrie9646 Wealthy* which gives them more power which combined attracts itself more wealth or how you may call it "success".
The guy literally 3 or more people and dickie could be more of a sociopathic because of the university he went to?

But how did he get to Mars?
This is one of the great movies
If only his parents wouldve accepted him loljk
I always wondered what this movie was about.
I'VE SEEN THE MOVIE 100 TIMES AND NEVER SAW THAT HE WAS GAY??? Later, it's obvious, but never caught that moment.
I didn’t get the gay part either. Altho Ms Highsmith alludes to homosexuality. I couldn’t find a hint either.

the movie is about a person who mimics, scams, impersonates, not really imp. matters about focusing on sexuality.
