"Whether or not it’s conscious, we recognize our own flaws and deficiencies, and that in turn makes it easier to identify those traits in others."

At their core I think Tom and Freddie are very much alike: smarter than what is seen on the surface, observant and caughgaycaugh.

They both see right through each other from the get go and they are both aware of this. But where Tom is quiet and always on his toes to not get his constant cover blown, Freddie is a leaking cauldron of confidence that is not afraid to show off his deductions( sidetrack but I feel like Freddie basically is a less jittery slightly gayer Sherlock).

Sure he is smart enough to pose as a potential threat to Tom's entire cover but that on its own isn't enough to hate someone on a personal level.

I'd like to think there was a time when Tom was more openly confident and used to show off his skills a lot more, much like the 1999s Tom Ripley does, but that he learned to tone it down to not draw attention to himself( something many neurodivergent people can probably relate to). Freddie on the other hand is not ashamed to show off and take up space, he comes off as confident both in who he is and his sexual orientation, as in he doesn't flaunt it but he doesn't actively hide it either.

Option one: Tom sees Freddie as someone he could have been, confident and outgoing, someone people like, which in and of itself could make you dislike a person, or....

Option two: he sees himself and all the things he has to hide represented in Freddie (and that really says so much more about Tom than anything else.)

So, with these thoughts fresh in mind, let's take a look at the Caravaggio once more....

-and mull over the fact that Caravaggio is both David and Goliath, both the killer and the victim, both the hater and the hated.

"I think the, the exciting thing about Tom Ripley is that he doesn't know anything. I, I think when you have these famous literary heroes, they develop a reputation like a psychopath or that he's a genius or something like that, and I think one of the things that I really appreciated; one of the things that Steve and I talked an awful lot about, was the fact that he makes so many mistakes. And so those mistakes are, you know, important. They're as important as the - the genius, you know, because that's what makes him human. You know, so you sort of have to unlearn a lot of this - the, the ideas that you have about, about the character.

I also don't think he's a natural born killer; I think he's kind of - he finds blood; he finds it kind of disgusting. It's not something he's used to, and for the majority of the audience - I'm not sure about the audience tonight - but most of us I, I would suppose have not murdered. And so we have to be - a couple of silent voices there; but, but um, but the night is young - but, you know, that we should be invited in to go: "What would I do?" and that's why I think, you know; that's why I think it's so exciting because we're invited to, to, to explore that - those dark thoughts, um, and what we might do, and that would involve a lack of expertise."

I *think* I must have posted about this before, but I can't find it and I hadn't actually watched it until now. So go have a little look if you too missed this earlier. Excerpts from the Netflix Ripley FYSEE event Q&A, back in May.
