Great acting, great story, great scenery, great music!!!!! People are too afraid to give movies high scores so i do my best here: 10/10. One of the absolute best movies ive ever seen. The the acting gives this movie flesh, the story gives it meaning, the scenery gives it class, the music gives it soul. And what i love this music!!!
The only fatal mistake for Tom was that the moment he got rejected from Dickie, he should have gone away and back to America or wherever. He could still salvage his soul but he wanted the easy and good life. But when you constantly run away there is no good life. Can't blame him though. I'm a bit lazy myself and I used to hang out with people and be their leeches but I manned up and stopped those unhealthy relationships.
what! it was a book! I wasn't fond of the trailer but the movie was worth more than the views of the trailer anyways. Must see this movie if you have any taste for good films at all.
What???? The hardest character to play here was that of Tom Ripley. Granted, Jude Law did well but his character (Dickie) was way easier to play than the one that was played by Matt Damon. We can all agree on this. Matt Damon deserves most of the credit here. Remember the name of the film... He was playing the main character and the most difficult as well.

every guy in this movie was either gay, half-gay or bisexual. and if they weren't gay, at least once they shut their eyes and swallowed a cock anyway just to get ahead. the end.
@magicprophecy matt damon should have won an oscar for this jude was good but not oscar nominated but he was still good matt damon was awsome this movie is awsome and jude law accent is hott just saying lol
@magicprophecy I agree with everything you say. Completely underrated. Just watched this today and think that every single performance is perfect! Even Peter Kingsley Smith!
@magicprophecy . You are right. Since I see the first time this movie, I just know for sure this is a top 5 star movie. This is inside my top10 movies of all times. As you say: the cinematography, the script, acting, everything! highly recommended!!!
I don't know how good an actor really is Law in this movie or the A.I. because he plays a similar roles, guys of much energy and charm who enjoy life.He is best in that in my opinion because he is like that in real life.
Yeah Ming mastered multi-layered story telling only once in this great great movie. Mr matt bourne was bourne to play this role too. Better than even Hitchcock,
this movie is a plot surfacing under a plot. this nigga gets entangled in a web of obstacles, cutting each layer down to pieces, making way thru doors and reaching throughout destinations. very detailed movie with lots of smarts, this movie requires for you 2 think, not the godfather! how the hell do you even think in the godfather? some asshole takes out the rival families and that's complex? haha..
the transition of matt dameon was hypnotique, kinda similar 2 wood harris in paid in full
I can somehow understand why Tom killed Dickie Greenleaf. He treated Tom like a piece of shit while pretending he was someone special to him. Also his a**hole friend. Sad as a chain consequence of this he thought he had to kill the only person who showed some true love and affection for him (Peter). Very sad ending. I don't even feel that sorry for Dickie's fiance.
@009firefox no, he wasn't meant to kill him, he can't punch, so he picked up a weapon and tried to hit him with it, the weapon had a blade on it and cut Dickie up, Dickie was so pissed off that he tried to retaliate and even kill Tom, so Tom defended himself. it was an accident... well, why didn't he go to the police? ahaha! try telling the police it was an "accident" and see how long your jail sentence will be
thru the accident, a set of events occured that gave way 2 a transition 2 Tom
@JawBreakerJimmy i do agree that jude law had the best performance in the movie. but i felt that damon breaking away from his usual role as an absolute heartthrob (goodwill hunting, invictus, bourne trilogy) into one which is far deeper and more challenging for an actor AND doing it so well really made him shine in this movie. prime example of the deeper acting is the very last scene when he's talking to peter before he kills him. very moving.
tom ripley is a guy with 'no life'. his intelligence and charm lead him to italy where he attempts to convince shipping tycoon greenleaf's son dickie to come back home to the USA. tom loves the life in italy and confronts dickie about his poor behaviour. an argument occurs and tom kills dickie accidentally. tom takes on dickies identity and weaves in and out of trouble with the police and dickie's friends over his disappearance. in the end he kills his gay lover peter because he knew too much.
ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER!! Great acting and directing, god bless Anthony.. Gets better with repeated viewing, lovely locations.. is Ripley gay or Bi? who knows? / cares, sexuality is just a choice, like many things, i feel. either way Mat was best for this role, convincing
I agree with everything else, but the statement about sexuality being a choice. Even animals are homosexuals too, and it is not a choice. I did not choose to be a heterosexual. It just happened.
Having been a graduate student at an Ivy league instituion, I had to put up with so many Freddie Miles-like obnoxious, over-priviledged, super-entitiled little brats! I KNOW Freddie MIles! And Phillip Seymour Hoffmon is spot on in portraying that particular type!
I love the Minghella version, too. But I just watched the Delon version (on Youtube!). and Alain Delon is soooo marvelous! Creepily sauve in a way that Matt Damon just can't come close to! Too bad we can't do a bit of time travel magic and put Mr. Delon into Minghella's fiim! What a dream team!
I think so because he held a certain fascination towards Dickie and in the end he and Peter were lovers but traveling under Dickies name he also had to act as if he was attracted to Meredith (becuase of when they first met). Maybe he didn't want his "Dickie" act to appear as if he were gay.
Tom is a tragic character if anything, he's like that in the way of Daniel Day Lewis's Daniel Plainview. However, Ripley's flaw is that he wants so badly to be a part of a certain group that he's willing to do almost anything to keep a life that he was never given. It's sad really although horrible to those who see him in the outside world. Unfortunately this is the key point to the movie and is makes a man so inhuman at times very much the opposite.
I relate to mr Ripley a lot, although I would never harm a fly. The film's Ripley is a daybutterfly compared to Highsmith's all-knowing Killer...Yuck. Anyways, the movie's a touching story.
A truly amazing piece of filmmaking. Less an adpatation than a riff on Highsmith's themes (Her Ripley is far less innocent than Minghella's) tis' a beautiful recreation of "Il Boom" -- that period in Italian postwar history when the entire nation became chic. THE film about this phenomenon is of course "La Dolce Vita." And you know whet? Both Fellini's film and Minghella's have the same associate producer -- Alessandro Von Normann.
This is movie is very complicated, Tom is mislabeled a villian when in the film he acts in self defense and given the era, as a closeted confused impoverished gay man his behavior is hardly unexpected or simple...
True. But he does eventually become one when he takes over Dickie's life. If not then, then when he kills Freddie. If not then, then when he kills Peter.
Rather I find it's the birth of a villain, how we get tangled up in our lies and descend faster and faster.
Jude Law, Matt Damon, Gweneth Paltrow, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Cate Blanchett - what's not to like? One of the best movies of the 90's and a all time classic in my opinion.
Anthony Minghella was a master at multi-layered storytelling. His films all have great surface plots with complex thematic content underneath. They are almost poetic.
Everyone should watch this movie. At first you might think oh look at all the big names they put in this movie to make it shine...but the acting...the acting just leaves me in aw. I can watch this movie over and over again. Matt's so subtle smiles or face movements just makes you feel so sorry for him...eventhough u know the truth about him. Fantastic movie. Many many thumbs up lol
Anyone know the song that is sung by a man with a deep voice, when Tom is picked up the chauffeur when Tom is leaving NY? While the song is played, a cruise ship cruises by with the skyline in the background. The song is not on the soundtrack...the song is in one of the first few scenes.

Matt Damon is really miscast in this. He isn't believable as this character at all. I guess you should watch the original as an alternative. But this role is too heavy for the likes of Gus van Zandt's boy toy
Are you referring to Delon in Plein Soleil. If so, I'd have to agree. Still, Damon has, in my opinion, progessed as an actor, though I'm not sure his improvements would make his portrayal of Tom Ripley any better.
Lastly, does anyone know the story behind the translation of Plein Soleil into "Purple Moon?" If my memory serves me, the former would more accurately be translated as "Full Sun."
I think Matt brought a weird quality to Ripley... A naivety or innocence. 'Cause, even though I knew he was a horrible person, and even though I knew he should be captured, a small part of me still wanted him to escape.
OMGGGGGGG FUCKKKKKK ARE YOU JOKING//??? you saw him!? i am NOW going to live in London. i can't find words to describe him.. THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN IN THE WORLD. JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDIEEEEEEEEE(L)
I just love this movie!! I remember it had some bad critics at the beginning ... but now I think those who said that, have changed their minds.... The cast is just so brilliant! Excellent movie... I never get tired of Tom Ripley! ;)
I didn't really like that either, but I got over it because I fell in love with Paltrow's quiet-to-hysterical 'I know it was you! I know it was you!' scene.
The movie sucked... The book on the other hand is GREAT. Read it and skip the film...

I disagree.
I think Matt brought a weird quality to Ripley... A naivety or innocence. 'Cause, even though I knew he was a horrible person, and even though I knew he should be captured, a small part of me still wanted him to escape.

I respect your opinion but thats the nature of a pathologic narcissist and why they are able to manipulate people...great acting!

It's a clever movie. Better than its sequel, "Ripley's Game"

This movie is beautiful it is one of my favorite films.
Sinead O' Connor sings part of the sound track.
Some of this movie has to do with Cain and Able the son's of Adam and Eve.
In the poem Cain kills able.
I Jewish so it's cool.

I didn't really like that either, but I got over it because I fell in love with Paltrow's quiet-to-hysterical 'I know it was you! I know it was you!' scene.
