Oh, I love this scene so much. He's so wonderfully charming and kind and sincere-sounding, yet just actually horribly horribly depraved and sociopathic and hollow.
0Axel0 He’s not being a sociopath (although you are fairly using the term sociopathic) because he’s trying to conjure up another lie and a pleasant story in order to get out of the garbage situation he’s in, and his lies between his own personality and Dickie’s life are starting to fuse and conflict as he’s running out of viable stories to make. He’s not deprived in anything but trust. And we can argue whether or not he’s hollow in general but he’s not less hollow than a huge swatch of people, but he’s incredibly talented at coming up With stories with tremendous detail since he’s had a bit of a deprived life.
This movie is so disturbing. But, you can't help but keep watching. Somehow the characters are drawn so well you feel like you know each of these people personally. I hate it and I love it.
I think that special attention should be paid to Anthony Minghella, an amazing director who created the very unique and uncomfortable atmosphere that makes this movie so difficult to watch. It is unlike any movie that I have ever seen. I would to read a book about his making of this movie.
I've always described this film as "So creepy, but soooo good!", unlike Notes on a Scandal which I've always described as "So creepy, but so.......creepy. lol
I've never been a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow as a person, but as an actress she's superb. If you notice at the beginning she's a complete devoted innocent girlfriend to Jude Law. As the the role progresses, she becomes strong and the only one who sees the truth. Everyone else lives nonchalantly in their rich lives with small problems. The ending where she confronts Ripley is one scene I've never forgotten. When does one see a rich high society socialite go crazy with rage and strike out at the villain? Hardly ever. She reminded me of Grace Kelly in this movie.
exactly loved her but just hated how they portrayed her making her the only sole woman and coincidentally the only person everyone else thought was crazy/didn’t believe her
@@derek96720 While you correctly cited her station in life, you're mistaken about what produced that performance. I have to tell you I've never seen this movie nor did I ever think she possessed real depth and complexity, but this was legitimately excellent acting. By god the girl had some talent. Hard to say why she threw it all away for goop.
Probably the best acting in Goop's career to be honest. I didn't think she was capable of such complexity. Outstanding moment to moment navigation of awareness and emotion.
She Really is Capable, there is another movie with her, another thriller, where She plays the Young Beautiful Wife, and her Mother in Law is terribly Jealous of her, and Gwenith Paltrow delivers Such High-Caliber performance of those complexities you mentioned. In that other movie, her Character was more intense than this One and with More Complexity; and She Delivered!!!
@@12567NoYouCannot Yes Gwyneth Paltrow was good in the movie "HUSH" along with Jessica Lange. Jessica's character was such a witch in the movie. 🤦♀️🙄
@@calebproductions5970 Is it just the sound? As I watch Tom's pace, the steps seem just a bit too small, yet quick and 'deliberate' -- so 'sped up' visually too. Maybe.
This scene is so good because you see how both Tom and Marge have changed in the course of the movie. First of all Tom who was sort of shy in the beginning has absorbed Dickie's confidence because that's what he does, he pretends. He accuses Dickie of everything he is, living in different realities and lying. Marge on the other hand was nice and gentle in the beginning but the difficulty of the situation has made her more serious, but there's also a newfound strenght in her, she isn't being nice and accommodating to Tom anymore because she sees through him. Great acting from both Damon and Paltrow!
I think in his own way Tom "hated" Marge . She had Dickie's Time, Attention and Love and when she told him he wasn't invited to go Skiing at Cortino that set off Alot of anger. Also Dickie wasn't going to let Tom House Sit for him.
@@Dane_Youssef You know what's so sad. Alot of what Tom said about Dickie not being faithful because he did get Silvana pregnant. Poor Marge, she had Dickie on such a Sky High Pedestal and having to deal with the fact that the wasn't faithful her the way she was to him must have been heartbreaking.
I think she's very good im SiL, but she us aces here. And in Seven, telling Morgan Freeman about her pregnancy. And in Hard Eight. And in The Royal Tenembaums. That's her career. A lot of movies. Four terrific performances and a lot of lazy work.
Creepiest scene in the movie! I love that Marge was the only person who worked Tom out! She was a genius - and she didn't believe his "I love you, can I hold you?" bullshit for a nanosecond! But because she was a woman, no one believed her and Tom ended the movie smelling of roses with everyone.
glamdolly20 the only thing Tom’s smelling is the lingering stink of peter’s dead body and the “dark basement” he’s now forever locked in. Fuck outta here with that bullshit.
@@cheothegeo2742 I think what was meant by "smelling roses" was that the official version of events of Dickie's death leaned in favor of Tom. And you have to remember the detective who told about the event a Princeton that had Dickie in Italy in the first place. As for Peter, everything was fine until Meredith ran into "Dickie" was on the same boat.
That's a generalisation though ,many people regardless of gender will/ would have had a hard time trying to take it against a manipulator and a psychopath ,part of their trick is to try to ostracize people and sometimes that involves trying to make justified anger and desperation seem like madness,and of course using generalisations and different personal beliefs people have to back them....racism,sexism,discrimination based on sexuality etc. Are all based on generalisations and steriotypes they are bad for many reasons but one major one is cause they open the door for anyone who wishes to manipulate to do so and appear to have an explanation ....
One reason why she was dismissed was because Dickie's father didn't really want to get to the bottom of Dickie's death: he'd already written him off as a bad seed and didn't want his family to get any more ugly publicity.
i think paltrow completely stole this film from under everybody elses feet despite having the quietest and blandest character in the bunch. her face as shes backing away here is like an acting masterclass, and you feel every bit of fear when she finally reaches the door.
@@djsosonut Their chemistry in this scene was amazing. I really thought this fool was going to slit her throat and he probably would have if Peter hadn't come in the door.
Actually IMO the entire cast was outstanding in this film. Cate Blanchett (who I'm usually rather leery of) was hilarious as Meredith. Jude Law had the perfect "cheap charisma" for the part of Dickie, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and the actor who played Peter were all outstanding. Possibly Matt Damon was a bit too good looking for the role - particularly in the beginning, when the role called for it. Dickie comments on how "ugly" he is and he obviously isn't.
@@oneinamillennial; Both actually, Actors will tell You that when they are Acting a Scene they need their co-star to deliver the Scene with the Same intensity and Performance as they are.
when he called out "Marge?" at the beginning, she shouldn't have stopped. I think at that point, she was closer to the door than tom was, and even if they both ran she could've gone out before he caught up with her. I know manners were a big deal in the time period that is depicted here but I'm just sayin... if I suspected of someone being a serial killer that killed my boyfriend and his bff, I would toss all manners out the window and run for my life.
Later on Dickie's father dissuades Marge of any notion of what she suspects by saying: "There is a woman's intuition, and then there are facts." And this is before the detective Mr. Greenleaf hires takes Tom aside to tell him what he found out about Dickie.
Totally agree,Gwyneth Paltrow is better in this film than Shakespeare In Love for which she won an Oscar. Pitch perfect performances from all the principals in this memorable film;Matt Damon,Jude Law,Cate Blanchett,Jack Devonport ; all superb.Shame the talented Anthony Minghella was taken from us so early.
It's also a shame the first 3 actors you've counted are known world wide when the last one is barely known. Jack Davenport pretty underrated in my opinion.
This movies so good, a great version of a fabulous book. I kind of wished they had made a sequel to this film following the second book with Matt Damon. Perfect choice for Tom Ripley.
Although all main characters involved in this movie were fantastic yet let it be said that Gwyneth gave a truly Oscar worthy performance, the best of the bunch. Her acting in this scene just confirms that. It's amazing, as she pulled it off perfectly...her character's deepening distrust, growing fear, & ultimate terror, all clearly expressed, as Gwyneth captured it all so superbly, the increasing fear, the terrified breakdown. She nailed it flawlessly! And as great as she was in Shakespeare in Love she was even better here, in this movie. The girl has astounding talent, Broadway caliber talent!
I don't know if this was intended or not but I feel like when Tom raises his voice here he sort of un-knowingly takes on Dickie's voice and manneurisms, and then he notices it creeps Marge out and he backs off of it.... incredible acting from both of them in this scene!
Gwyneth really was an excellent actress. People forget because of the Goop bullshit and kind of off-putting perfectionism...but she is very talented. Wish she would get back to meatier roles.
And that's the irony, Marge. I loved you. You may was well know it, Marge: I loved you. I don't know... maybe it's grotesque of me to say this now, so just write it on a piece of paper or something and put it in your purse for a rainy day. 'Tom loves me.' 'Tom loves me.'
+atoosas I think I know why. Patricia Highsmith's Book Strangers On A Train was Adapted By Hitchcock so many they tried to bring Hitchcock to this Scene.
this scene cements her rep as one of the great actresses..too bad she dropped out of movies although I can understand. It would be a very boring process..act for 15 seconds then stop, start again, then stop.
It is in the nature of a pathological liar to accuse other people of being liars. He tells you that you cannot believe what other people are saying. Hmmm... This is the first time I notice how affectedly gay Matt's voice becomes as he speaks to Gwyneth. "That day when he was late coming back from Rome, I tried to tell you this. He was with another girl. I'm not talking about Meredith either. Another girl that we met in a bar."
@@bernicerogers2383 I stand corrected. Either way Dickie broke her heart so badly. Tom talks about how Dickie "Lies" and he's just as guilty. He "Lied" The Moment he met Herbert Greenleaf Sr.
I wonder if Tom really planned to kill Marge or if he just wanted her to think he was going to, the better to make her seem like a paranoid hysteric to Peter and Mr. Greenleaf? He's quite indifferent about her, but covering up a murder is tricky, and Tom only seems to kill as a last resort.
This was the one scene where I couldn't find any sympathy for the villain! But the film did a great job otherwise in making me care about a murderer! Murderers aren't generally my cup of tea lol
Marge's instincts were right about Tom, but her naivety where Dickie is concerned is one reason why she wasn't taken seriously. She sounds like a twelve year old when she insists that he couldn't have taken off the rings she gave him because he promised her he'd wear them forever and ever. Her attempt to come across as a tough talking dame when challenging Tom earlier seems forced: she's basically a nice sheltered girl in way over her head.
I was 13 when I saw this, thought it was just a "good scene" in the film...being a grown man now, this whole scene is ABSOLUTELY PSYCHOLOGICALLY TERRIFYING. Anthony Minghella was a genius.
I love this film but in the book, Marge is a much more comical character. She does find the rings but by then believes that Dickie gave them to Tom before committing suicide. She doesn't really seem to care - maybe because Dickie and Freddie were assholes anyway and she's enjoying having become a tabloid celebrity as a result of her association with them! Still, the film is very well done too.
The book is different. Tom is a sociopath from the jump. It wasn't impulsive and then kept committing crimes to cover it up. There are three or four or so books about Tom. He's a sociopath and a cold blooded killer in them all. The writer was a very bizarre and unlikeable woman but a terrific writer. I love this movie though. Even Gwyneth Paltrow is top notch but the big hat tips go to Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
And this is why I think the film is superior. In the film, Tom becomes a serial killer due to circumstance. I don't mean that he has no choice, but the viewer can be lulled into thinking, "Yeah, I think I would have probably murdered a few people by now if I was him." Whereas in the book he is a killing spree waiting to happen. It's just not as interesting. (I've read a couple of the sequels too.)
This one of those movies were it is better than the book. In the book Marge is the ditsy women that can't work it out. Movie is much better. Philip Seymour Hoffman creates a brilliant character.
In the novel Marge found Dickie's rings, but she did not conclude that Tom was responsible for Dickies disappearance. She believed Tom that Dickie had given him these rings. Marge was not smart.
Massimo C: before Tom emerges from the bathroom in his robe, Marge confronts him about having Dickie's rings. Enraged, Tom finds a razor ( or sharp object)and hides it in his pocket with the intention of killing Marge. Im guessing he was nervously pricking himself before he sprung into action.
@@l.b.2592 thank you very much. I think it was excessive to kill Marge just for that reason: she just found the rings, she didn't see him murder. This one was a bit forced to me. It costed him a lot to hide the other murders and I don't think he would risk so much again for the rings issue
@@massimocarta666 Marge knew that Dickie would never give him those rings for any reason, so she knew he did something to dickie, tom realizes that if she brings attention to him he could be found out and so he tries to convince her but makes sure if he cannot he has a back up plan
@SP dude, I was not talking about ethic. I was talking about his own sake. He killed 2 people and got away with that, he was so lucky. But how could he handle it this time?? It was no worth it to kill her just for a slight suspect, to run away again risking to get a life sentence. She had no actual proofs. This was my point. You don't seem to understand comments
You know a scene is masterfully crafted when scrambling Y&R writers start plagiarising the dialogue at 01:20... even if the original dialogue was deliberately cheesy because Tom is overcompensating to cover his rising panic at being on the brink of committing another murder. Well played, Anthony Minghella, not so much, Josh Griffith. Another line from this wonderful film springs to mind for some reason... Something about rather being a fake somebody than a real nobody...? Make of it what you will, Josh. 🙄🤡🤣
To be able to portray a sociopath so perfectly, Matt Damon HAS to be at least borderline sociopathic. I myself am a sociopath, and I have never more strongly connected to a character in a movie. He holds his smile a little bit longer than the normal person, he makes eye contact a little bit longer than the normal person, he's disingenuously genuine. As a sociopath, I can tell you that his performance in this movie is bar none the greatest performance in cinematic history.
I don't need to be "diagnosed" by anybody. I know that I'm not a typical human being and, based on my own research during my teenage years, I know that I am a textbook sociopath.
The "I am not a fan of Paltrow" comments 🥱🙄. She is iconic and always been a amazing actress. For me it's my favorit role of her alongside of Margot in The Royal Tannenbaums.
Oh, I love this scene so much. He's so wonderfully charming and kind and sincere-sounding, yet just actually horribly horribly depraved and sociopathic and hollow.

It's cool😁
Paltrow reminds me of Grace Kelly in this movie.
I wonder if Tom really planned to kill Marge or if he just wanted her to think he was going to, the better to make her seem like a paranoid hysteric to Peter and Mr. Greenleaf? He's quite indifferent about her, but covering up a murder is tricky, and Tom only seems to kill as a last resort.
I think he wasn't 100% sure yet believe it or not
In the book, he planned on killing her in a scene that's not in the movie but, changed his mind.
This movie turned me into a Matt Damon fan...
I love this scene! Soo chillingly scary.
People always talk about peter and tom. But Marge?? I love her❤❤ she really loved dickie, truly. She saw the truth when everyone around her didn't.
He and Dickey were the same damn person.
He loved her when he "became Dickey".
lol hold on this ain’t Fight Club
The way he slowly moved closer to her
Excellent actress
All 3 of them were at their prime. Philip too
Мет Дејмон има прекрасна и многу јака коса. Фризурата му е ТОП.
Terrifying scene, the way she knew he was holding a weapon in his pocket
This was the one scene where I couldn't find any sympathy for the villain! But the film did a great job otherwise in making me care about a murderer! Murderers aren't generally my cup of tea lol
Marge's instincts were right about Tom, but her naivety where Dickie is concerned is one reason why she wasn't taken seriously. She sounds like a twelve year old when she insists that he couldn't have taken off the rings she gave him because he promised her he'd wear them forever and ever. Her attempt to come across as a tough talking dame when challenging Tom earlier seems forced: she's basically a nice sheltered girl in way over her head.
I was 13 when I saw this, thought it was just a "good scene" in the film...being a grown man now, this whole scene is ABSOLUTELY PSYCHOLOGICALLY TERRIFYING. Anthony Minghella was a genius.
I love this film but in the book, Marge is a much more comical character. She does find the rings but by then believes that Dickie gave them to Tom before committing suicide. She doesn't really seem to care - maybe because Dickie and Freddie were assholes anyway and she's enjoying having become a tabloid celebrity as a result of her association with them! Still, the film is very well done too.
The book is different. Tom is a sociopath from the jump. It wasn't impulsive and then kept committing crimes to cover it up. There are three or four or so books about Tom. He's a sociopath and a cold blooded killer in them all. The writer was a very bizarre and unlikeable woman but a terrific writer. I love this movie though. Even Gwyneth Paltrow is top notch but the big hat tips go to Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
And this is why I think the film is superior. In the film, Tom becomes a serial killer due to circumstance. I don't mean that he has no choice, but the viewer can be lulled into thinking, "Yeah, I think I would have probably murdered a few people by now if I was him." Whereas in the book he is a killing spree waiting to happen. It's just not as interesting. (I've read a couple of the sequels too.)
I know the real Ripley he's still out there
So Hitchcock
What did Tom do to his hand? That's what I don't understand
Oh okay that makes sense now
tom s actually a woman and thats period blood
He was going to k1ll her or wanted to make her think he was going to kill her as intimidation/gaslighting
This one of those movies were it is better than the book. In the book Marge is the ditsy women that can't work it out. Movie is much better. Philip Seymour Hoffman creates a brilliant character.
This is so scary!
What was in Damon's bathrobe pocket that made his hand bleed?
Single blade razor.
404 Marge finding the rings not found.
In the novel Marge found Dickie's rings, but she did not conclude that Tom was responsible for Dickies disappearance. She believed Tom that Dickie had given him these rings. Marge was not smart.
No. It does not get better.
Paltrow is a great actress.
0:50 Almost slipped into Chistopher Walken impression.
Why was he bleeding?? He didn't have any ring to take off, I never understood this
Massimo C: before Tom emerges from the bathroom in his robe, Marge confronts him about having Dickie's rings. Enraged, Tom finds a razor ( or sharp object)and hides it in his pocket with the intention of killing Marge. Im guessing he was nervously pricking himself before he sprung into action.
@@l.b.2592 thank you very much. I think it was excessive to kill Marge just for that reason: she just found the rings, she didn't see him murder. This one was a bit forced to me. It costed him a lot to hide the other murders and I don't think he would risk so much again for the rings issue
@@massimocarta666 Marge knew that Dickie would never give him those rings for any reason, so she knew he did something to dickie, tom realizes that if she brings attention to him he could be found out and so he tries to convince her but makes sure if he cannot he has a back up plan
@SP dude, I was not talking about ethic. I was talking about his own sake. He killed 2 people and got away with that, he was so lucky. But how could he handle it this time?? It was no worth it to kill her just for a slight suspect, to run away again risking to get a life sentence. She had no actual proofs. This was my point. You don't seem to understand comments
@SP ok, you are not reading my answers, let's stop here

Tom Ripley is not Dickie Greenleaf he mudered him on the boat. Tom Ripley is laying don't belvie him.
Pepper Potts and Jason Bourne
And Commodore Norrington
Is it possible that Paltrow is even more annoying in this film than she is in real life?!🤣
she's not annoying in this movie.
You know a scene is masterfully crafted when scrambling Y&R writers start plagiarising the dialogue at 01:20... even if the original dialogue was deliberately cheesy because Tom is overcompensating to cover his rising panic at being on the brink of committing another murder. Well played, Anthony Minghella, not so much, Josh Griffith. Another line from this wonderful film springs to mind for some reason... Something about rather being a fake somebody than a real nobody...? Make of it what you will, Josh. 🙄🤡🤣
So was tom in love with Dickie or in love with his life?
david W it was indistinguishable to him at that point.
Both
If someone would have just smashed her early on! What a waste…….her mother was a class act!
To be able to portray a sociopath so perfectly, Matt Damon HAS to be at least borderline sociopathic. I myself am a sociopath, and I have never more strongly connected to a character in a movie. He holds his smile a little bit longer than the normal person, he makes eye contact a little bit longer than the normal person, he's disingenuously genuine. As a sociopath, I can tell you that his performance in this movie is bar none the greatest performance in cinematic history.
Stop cultivating sickness. Nobody cares. You're not special. You're a nobody.
Colin Finch Mostlythinkihave your mothers a nobody
Zodiac581 have you been diagnosed as a 'sociopath' ?
I don't need to be "diagnosed" by anybody. I know that I'm not a typical human being and, based on my own research during my teenage years, I know that I am a textbook sociopath.
+Zodiac581 He's not a sociopath. He's just a good actor. One of the most versatile actors, he can play anybody.
why is his hand bleeding??!!!
Gwen Because he had a knife in his robe pocket. I don't think I need to tell you what he was going to do with it. O_O
James Cozad not a knife but a straight edged razor used to shave
The "I am not a fan of Paltrow" comments 🥱🙄. She is iconic and always been a amazing actress. For me it's my favorit role of her alongside of Margot in The Royal Tannenbaums.
