Genius, he captures loud, flamboyant American on holiday extremely well . Each and every actor in this movie really created a piece of reality, an experience. Brilliant work
@@omegamanGXEdifference being, i never watched Hoffman and thought “hey, that’s Hoffman” and I constantly found myself saying that with Spacey. Hoffman got lost in his roles and completely embodied them, near perfectly.
When Ripley opens the music booth to remind Dickie to not miss the train at 8, Freddie's expression is priceless. Philip Seymour Hoffman did an amazing job with this character that barely had screentime
I was going to say the same. That look said it all. Can't remember EVER seeing something like that in a film. Jealousy, contempt, and a look of hatred..unmatched to this day. PSH was the best and will always be my favorite. Sad day, when we heard that...
I used to think Freddy was awful… but after watching the whole movie. I’d rather be stuck in a room with a dozen Freddy’s than just 1 Tom. The subtle way he sees through Tom’s bullshit and disrespects him is so well deserved.
@@DrakeBrunette he doesn't "see through his bullshit". He insults him right from the get-go for not being rich and stylish enough, and he's a rude asshole to everybody.
I didn't know who Philip Seymour Hoffman was when I saw "The Talented Mr. Ripley"; for me, he absolutely dominated every scene he was in. I said, "Who IS this guy??" What a brilliant, versatile actor -- utterly captivating to watch.
This scene isn't here but when Marge tells Tom he isn't invited to ski at Cortino, he's understandably crushed but Marge explained everyone pays their own way and everyone knows how to Ski, etc. That should have been a Red Flag for Tom to go but he doesn't. It was also Marge's understated way of saying to Tom, "You've Overstayed Your Welcome". Also with the "Tommy" line, it may have evoked memories of the Book version where Tom and his friends are talking and one of them named Vic Simmons says "Oh For C-s Sake Tommie Just Shut Up!"
PSH is such a talent here (and everywhere else too) because Freddie is a pretentious, smug, elitist, bully asshole... and yet he very quickly sees through Tom’s mask. So you can’t say he’s stupid. The movie makes you resent Dickie and his friends like Tom does, but also gets you to empathize with them because even they’re not sociopathic murderers like Tom
Freddy's not stupid, but inherited wealth has made him sheltered and oblivious. He doesn't get how much his rich-boy arrogance makes him resented, and how dangerous a poor but ambitious and ruthless man can be.
I don't think Tom was sociopathic. He didn't want to kill Dickie. Freddy got him in a trap. But the murder of Tom's boyfriend at the end is another story
This is a masterpiece film that I must watch every time it’s on. Incredible ensemble cast, amazing acting, and excellent jazz. “ My Funny Valentine.” 🎶🎬❤️🎬🎶
GREAT MOVIE!!!!!! EVERY ACTOR , ACTRESS WAS AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME........ESPECIALLY THE SUPREMELY GIFTED & TALENTED ACTOR , PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN.
forman208, absolutely agree! He was the catalytic agent that exacerbated the friction between the two protagonists. He pushed Jude Law's character into the confrontations with the insipid Tommy. And I absolutely loved the taunting over the peeping!
@@warplanner8852 The character was a catalyst for sure. Freddie represented the next level of scrutiny for Tom to ingratiate himself in Dickie's crowd.. Guys like Freddie are typically very insecure, so, I concluded that Freddie was jealous of Tom, and considered him to be a rival for Dickie's attention. Freddie is a despicable character, and PSH excelled in making the character the audience could root against.
@@UncleClauClau because insecure is the go to name to throw about when somebody is judgmental, when that's really just 'if you have nothing nice to say' type shit
In real life People like Freddie will let you know very quickly as to whether you are accepted and fit in or not. They want the charismatic “Dickies” all to themselves. If you don’t get the message and move on they’ll make your life miserable
@@nanapoohsmom4927 I don't think so, I watched the movie recently and there was no music. Besides, Freddie only listens to jazz and jazz songs has no dramatic ends 🤣
I think it's for seeing Dickie there in general. It's 1958 here, and meetings with friends in different cities/countries were farrr harder to coordinate than now. They haven't seen each other in months and probably had to coordinate the time and place of this meeting via international cable, telegram, mail, etc. So pulling up to the agreed-upon meeting place and seeing your friend there would feel like a triumph every time! 😀
That sneeze/cough/choking sound he makes to get Tom's attention, though.. till this day I still don't understand if it's an Italian gesture or just GREAT acting.
In his own way Freddie "Saved" Tom from The Police. Remember when he was hauling Freddie out of His Apartment, he "Imitated" him when The couple saw them together, then he had Lady Luck on his Side because The Two Folks who saw Tom with Freddie that Night consisted of a Couple and The Man was married to another Woman, The lady he was with was his Mistress.
From the first second in the first scene you just want to punch the guy before even speaks a word. Hoffman absolutely nailed it. Another guy who nailed a character just like this was the guy who played the king in Passion Of The Christ.
I met him and spoke with him but not until some time afterward did I realize it was him. He looked like an average joe and was rather nice and a little quiet. great talent sadly gone.
It's amazing how he was able to capture both Freddy's narcssistic, entitled American brat side and balance it with his concern, protective instincts and fierce loyalty toward Dickie. He's both a jerk and a loyal friend.
I'm sorry but if I were Tom Ripley, I'd feel so out of place with these Fabulously Dressed Folks who looked like they were straight out of GQ, and here I am with my Thriftshop Wardrobe. Even there Tom knew he didn't "Fit In" kind of like how Michael Novotny on Queer As Folk (US), had Dinner with the Friends of his Boyfriend David, they were Professors, and one Javier was the "Kept Boy Toy" of one of the other Guests. The Food he ate, he wouldn't be able to afford on his salary and when the Folks talked about where they've been it's kind of hard for Michael to relate.
@@Chasstful Freddie was Dickie's true brother and best friend. And maybe someone who was doing what Tom did before he came along. Or maybe just the one man who could see who the talented Mr. Ripley was from the beginning.
Dickie was nobody's fool. He knew that Tom had two of nothing. It kind of reminds me of The Paper Chase when Kevin Brooks was confronted about his Outline was coming along. He said it was coming along but his head was down. He was lying and Bell who was passionate about Property knew Kevin was "lying". Also when Freddie called Tom "Tommy" it may have reminded him of his Friend Vic Simmons who referred to him as "Tommie" who embarassed him in front of their Gang.
Well some people who have a lot of money, and indulge on the good life are bound to turn out like Freddie. But you have to hand it to him, he was good at putting the pieces together real quick with Tom robbing Dickie of his life. He figured it out sooner than Dickies fiancé did.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was absolutely amazing in this role. Even though he had little screen time, he left a huge impression on the audience with his boorish personality and nasally voice. Unfortunately, Eliot Sumner was the complete opposite to this in the Netflix Ripley series. They made Freddie a completely forgettable character. More importantly, we never see a real bond between Freddie and Dickie, so Freddie’s obsession with finding Dickie comes across as forced for the plot. Just one of many ways that the series is vastly inferior to the film.
I don’t buy him as a playboy at all - not with women anyway. Even the word “effeminate” doesn’t do him justice…the hip swivel, limp wrists, crossed legs, vocal fry, penchant for gossip, etc. He’d make any woman feel like a man in comparison to him.
Baffling how many people are praising Freddie. He didn't know Tom would kill Dickie when they first met, and in the last encounter, he didn't know he had killed him; he thought Dickie was still in Rome. He was a rude asshole to everybody, so elaborating on why Tom deserved it is irrelevant, and he wasn't a dick to Tom because he "could see through him" or anything like that. He was a dick to Tom right from he start because he knew he wasn't an aristocrat, meaning he would spit in your face, too.
Priceless film, a true watershed moment of my life watching it for the very first theater roll-out in LA. Tried to emulate the lifestyle ever since; and if I do say I've exceeded it, and not died or killed anyone since. RIP our dear sweet prince Philip have been walking his Chelsea hood footsteps the past week thinking of him one of my all time fav actor/directors a huge loss still stings....
Genius, he captures loud, flamboyant American on holiday extremely well . Each and every actor in this movie really created a piece of reality, an experience. Brilliant work
Well said. 🤝🏻
Possibly one of the most versitle actors Hollywood ever had.
yes, very versitle. He could play a waitor at a reastraunt, a rech gouy's new beist frand, a goorou, you name it.
Only guy I can immediately think of with as wide a range in roles is Kevin Spacey
@@omegamanGXEdifference being, i never watched Hoffman and thought “hey, that’s Hoffman” and I constantly found myself saying that with Spacey. Hoffman got lost in his roles and completely embodied them, near perfectly.
@@longliverocknroll5 Hoffman may have gotten lost in his roles, but Spacey got lost in space
@@omegamanGXE also got lost in being a pedo.
I love how he's the complete opposite of Tom. Loud, obnoxious, center of attention, but always honest and loyal to his friend.
TOMMY!! how's the peeping? LMAO
Cleo Fierro I got that latter, great actor
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
😅!!
Still hilarious
LOL literally died at this scene. It’s just so random out of nowhere. Just his little cheesy grin😂 Phillip Seymour Hoffman was fucking brilliant

When I read the book, I absolutely DESPISED Freddie. I hated him so much. But after watching the movie he’s like one of my favorite characters
I read the book, and Tom’s behavior makes much more sense there.
I prefer Tom over Freddie, whom I dislike.
This was a great actor who died way before his time. RIP, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
He was great in twister 2 good actors from that movie has passed away now
Screw him and the "speedball" he rode out on!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nerdlife1387 Great in Almost Famous
true, but he did that to himself, let's be clear
I didn't know who Philip Seymour Hoffman was when I saw "The Talented Mr. Ripley"; for me, he absolutely dominated every scene he was in. I said, "Who IS this guy??" What a brilliant, versatile actor -- utterly captivating to watch.
Freddy on thePiano 🎹: "BIIING!👇 Bing! 👇BiNg.. 👇BING!"

😅!!!! Hahaha!! One of my fave parts🎹😅!!! "Have you done something 2 your hair??"
philip seymour hoffman was such a brilliant actor, it breaks my heart we won't get to see him in any more films
His arrogant laugh is the greatest thing I have ever heard.

But Tom doesn't care that he's overstayed his welcome: he's a sociopath who's willing to kill to get what he wants.
@@lunavitello883 You got that right
He should’ve realized he had overstayed his welcome about twenty times in the movie
Of course, he was on a missy

Oh the intensity of 0:26! He is absolutely in flow!!👏
"God, a corduroy jacket in Italy!"
😅!!
He portrayed a very good friend... He was the first to suspect that something was wrong
In an age of remakes, sequels and general movie boredom, that’s an actor I miss a lot
Hoooowss the peepin??
lol...I used to do an uncanny impression of that.
😅!!
Tom: "pretty good Freddy"😂😂
His physicality is so natural and expressive
I couldn’t stand Freddy, but couldn’t take my eyes off him, either. Unfortunately for Freddy, Tom couldn’t, either. Gifted actor. RIP.
It's like a master class in acting. I love this film and PSH is like the cherry on the cake!
that death stare at Damon at 0:24 ! 😂😂😂 Philip was amazing actor I miss him
This is a masterpiece film that I must watch every time it’s on. Incredible ensemble cast, amazing acting, and excellent jazz. “ My Funny Valentine.” 🎶🎬❤️🎬🎶
GREAT MOVIE!!!!!! EVERY ACTOR , ACTRESS WAS AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME........ESPECIALLY THE SUPREMELY GIFTED & TALENTED ACTOR , PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN.
I hated his character until he came to the apartment in his final scene.
Same, I thought he was a prententious asshole.
agree, once is dead there is no need to hate him anymore
He was a gigantic douchebag, but he also was the only one who clocked Tom for the con man he was.
I dunno, i kinda liked him. He was a dick, but only because he was the only one smart enough to see through Tommy's bullshit.
@@stanislavpetrov5955 Yeah but he was a dick to Tom before he actually did anything illegal (that Freddy was aware of)
He stole the movie with 2 minutes of screen time😂
True. Man, he was so great.
When Freddie made a "Pointed" Remark about how Tom came to Italy, he really humiliated him. Also it was Dickie's way of saying "Keep In Your Place!"
I knew Hoffman was going to win the Oscar way back in Boogie Nights... he nailed every character he ever played.
yesss
This movie everyone is stylish and goodlooking.
Hoffman in this movie is the most amazing I have ever seen
Absolutely!! Agree 💯%
Oh my god, philip seymore hoffman is genious in this
Philip Seymour Hoffman was an amazing actor!
Hoffman was incredible. Boogy and this were masterpieces and he was a big part of that
So talented. So young, here. Tragic loss.
It took me a long time to like Hoffman because I hated his characters so much, that’s how good he is.
He stole the show 😍😍🥰
Tommy hows the peeping?.........Tommy hows the peeping?, Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy
😅!!! Cracks me up every single time😅!!! And poor Tom couldn't ski nor pay his way!⛷️
Freddie in his early 30s is living his frat bullying days
I think they’re in their mid twenty’s in this
Lucky bast ard
Only Hoffman could pull off a role like this so perfectly.
He was a brilliant actor. Its sad that he has gone.
All that talent and PSH stole every scene in was in.
greatest one-liner in Hollywood history...
Upload more, he steals every scene he's in that movie

Got that from his character as well. Freddie loved dickie the Same way Tom did, he just wasn’t as sick and demented as Tom
From The Studio That Brought You Good Will Hunting And The Director Of The English Patient.
what an amazing actor he was.
I never understood the triumphant gesture he does at 0:02. I mean what is he celebrating? Parking his car in the middle of a pedestrian piazza?
Probably 😂 but if I remember right, he was listening to music and that was the dramatic end of the song?
@@nanapoohsmom4927 I don't think so, I watched the movie recently and there was no music. Besides, Freddie only listens to jazz and jazz songs has no dramatic ends 🤣
Hey its something
He's happy to be alive.

That’s how you make an entrance lol

I swear when he says "how's the peeping" he sounds exactly like Eric Roberts.
All time great entrances

Where have I heard the peeping line from???
Maybe from The Flintstones where there was a Peeping Fred.
CinemaSins uses it a lot in their epilogues
Cinema Sins uses it any chance they possibly can, and it's hilarious
What is that look saying at 0:26? Amazing haha, I can't figure it out. Is it contempt? Is it judgement? I don't know...
Ripley's first mistake was going to Italy in the first place, he second mistake was wearing those tight lime green trunks on the Italian beach. Oof!
I miss his acting. Definitely was a big loss to the acting community
TAKE THE FERRY, BELLA!!!
When you play act at the level Hoffman did it's no surprise he was into drugs.
