RIPLEY (2024) Episode IV: La Dolce Vita

[briony-poisoned]

I’ve figured out the key difference between the ‘90s Talented Mr Ripley and Ripley (2024).

So in the 90s Ripley, Tom Ripley is a kind of sweet gay man in the homophobic 1960s who just coincidentally (tragically!) happens to be extremely good at murder.

In Ripley (2024) Tom Ripley is a criminal who is actually only ok at crime, but the 1960s people around him are so obsessed with whether he is gay or not that they completely miss that he is a literal murderer. Is he gay? Irrelevant! Look out, bitch, he’s gonna kill you!

I personally enjoy both interpretations. I think the 90s one is more of an emotional roller coaster because Ripley is SO easy to empathize with, and yet you’re watching him do these horrific things like, NO! baby boy, stop!

Whereas in Ripley (2024) it’s more of a Hannibal feel like, damn, these rich jerks kind of have it coming.

I’m seeing some mixed reactions on Tumblr but I think if you take off your “I’m looking for a sweet gay blorbo” hat and put on your “eat the rich” hat you are in for a good time.

Credit to the animals of Ripley for doing a better job at exposing Tom than the entire police force of Italy without even trying

Some shots from RIPLEY (2024) that I wanted to paint. Please go watch this show if you like messy gays and some of the best cinematography you’ll ever see in a TV show
