The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

I watched it after Saltburn, because everyone said that the films were similar. The idea is similar, yes, but for me Saltburn was more interesting. "Ripley" was boring for me to watch, I would not recommend it to anyone from the environment

It's a very good movie. The views of Italy are fascinating, you immediately understand why Dickie did not want to leave.
Only the starting points of the plot remained from the original book, and so many events were added between them that it was impossible to breathe. But Ripley's backstory was still missing.
The scattering of young and rosy-cheeked faces of the current inhabitants of the acting Olympus evoke a pleasant nostalgia for real cinema (I didn't quite understand what Meredith's plot was, but I never mind Cate Blanchett). In general, 1999 was the best year in the history of cinema.
The comparison in numerous articles of the kitschy Saltburn with the classics of the detective genre of the 50s is so superficial and stretched to the globe that it serves as rude flattery (perhaps deliberately invented by the producers of Saltburn).

First, I watched the latest film adaptation starring Andrew Scott, and then I watched the film, although I read in the comments that it was worth doing in the opposite sequence, but this did not spoil the impression of both. Tom Ripley in the movie and Tom Ripley in the series are absolutely two different characters who have different motives for murder in my opinion. Gg in the film kills unintentionally, at that moment, as the character of Andrew Scott seemed to have planned everything in advance, and in general, the series, despite its coloring, is filled with gloom and looks quite ominous. The film is pleasant, looks cheerful even after 25 years, evokes retro nostalgia for the films of those years. Matt Damon and Jude Law are mega charming and attractive, they look canonical in the frame. I definitely recommend it to movie lovers.

1999 is undoubtedly the best year in the history of cinema. A wonderful movie with young stars. I read the novel about 10 years after the film, and was very surprised, the works are quite different in the portrayal of the main character. The bookish Ripley is unpleasant from the first pages, and the cinematic one becomes a scoundrel gradually.

They say that parents are not chosen. But children too, unfortunately.

Matt was so handsome in his youth. Overall, the actors were well chosen. Composition.The
