Not so talented Mr. Ripley
Review of The Talented Mr Ripley DVD by
curiousgirl
Advantages: Good Chance to see Matt Damon
Disadvantages: Ever so slightly boring
...but for a meticulous character he left a paper murder trail as long as the London Bridge at the end of the film and the police would have to have a I.Q of -1 not to catch him.
Though set in 1950, Talented Mr. Ripley presents issues facing 21st century socialites' Dickie's problems with his sexuality and socialites need for approval by everyone from the press to their parents were touched on in the film and are not rare in reality as well in this day and age.
Another issue touched on is the 'get famous by any means necessary' trend that most people (like Tom Ripley) seem to have developed, trying to live above their means and going through various unthinkable exploits just to achieve social recognition as portrayed in the film. That isn't uncommon these days.
The movie raises questions about the representation of gay people in films, though...
