best the talented mr. ripley (1999) letterboxd reviews

[billiuspendragon]

One kind of character that never ceases to fascinate me is one who feels like they have to fabricate a personality because they fear there's nothing there.

Anyone watched Ripley? Cause y'all should!!

I really liked the 1999 movie but this show is so much better in my opinion. The acting is obviously incredible, we all know Andrew Scott can play a deranged man, but everyone else involved was fantastic.

And the cinematography!!! Every shot feels like a classic painting. Some camera angles and movements make me think of Wes Anderson but with a noir flare.

I also have to commend the english speaking cast for learning italian for this film (idk if any of them already spoke it but still) because they did a fantastic job!

And as an added bonus, it was really refreshing to see an afab NB actor play a cis man? Incredible!!

Saltburn is a baroque feast for the eyes! An alluring story of obsession and desire in the vein of Patricia Highsmith with an absolute tour de force by Barry Keoghan.

Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in the basement and lock the door and never go in there? [...] And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is toss them the key. Say, "Open up. Step inside." But you can't. Because it's dark and there are demons, and if anybody saw how ugly it is...

whyyy are you telling peter all this

Where are my Pirates of the Caribbean pals at? Where are the Norribeth girlies? I’m like, 20 years late to actually writing something. I’ve always wanted to and I finally am. Even if it’s just for me alone, damnit, it’s going to go on ao3 soon.

I feel like summer is when I always rewatch the first three POTC movies and I’m like “Damn why did I never write fic for this before?”

Who else is out there that had their brain scrambled 20+ years ago when they let Norrington be messy and hot in Dead Man’s Chest? Anybody?

The shirt Jacob is wearing here in Saltburn reminds me of this one Alain Delon wears in Plein Soleil/Purple Noon

between the talented mr ripley (1999) and season 3 of hannibal i'm getting the sense that there's a lot of identity theft and getting your head bashed in by the bust of a classical figure going on among upper class expats in italy
