A Ripley fan for years, I finally 'got' the title character when I read Highsmith's journals which were recently released. The series is more consistent with her world view. During her NYC days in the fifties, she had endless relationships, some with very wealthy women, that ended badly. Money was a constant worry for her and she grew to resent the people she hung around. She left the States to escape its homophobic atmosphere. The first Ripley novel which she wrote right before she left reflected her own repressed self loathing, but needed a male protagonist, or it likely couldn't have been published. The Price of Salt, which explored the difficulties of female relationships in the USA and showed a more empathetic side of the author was published under a pseudonym. Once the movie adaptation, Carol, hit the screen the novel finally got mainstream notice. The series captures the self-loathing more accurately while the film which I also loved took a lot of liberties with the text, still both were beautifully shot and acted.

@amyybarracuda7565 Месяц назад

I had no idea about all of this. I was wondering what the author's relationship was to queerness. I loved the movie Carol as well and had no idea it was based on another of Highsmith's work.

@bethprice338 Месяц назад

Her diaries and journal are amazing! A must read! She really addresses that otherness that Ripley dramatized so well. "I am no babbling brook of rebellion, but a smooth sea of varied, but honest character. And if I am green, when other seas are blue, I was born green, and I was born a sea."

@judithargitay9860 Месяц назад

I'm into psychology and did a fair amount of reading on psychopathy, narcissism and stuff. For me Scott has managed to do the almost impossible: portraying a full blown psychopath to perfection. Basically every trait I've read about those callous, sneaky but quite charming monsters comes through in his acting. I enjoyed every minute of it. The Minghella version is a completely different thing, though I liked that one, too.

@powerdriller4124 Месяц назад

In the 1999 version, Hoffman was a miscast as a Freddy, far away from the book personage, but Hoffman was so good that he remade the personage to make it better and more outstanding (and superbly nastier). It was like in "Gone With the Wind", Scarlet should have been given to Paulette Goddard, should not have not been so beautiful, so divinely pretty as Vivian Leigh, but that Force of Nature that was Leigh more than made up for all the "non-right" defects, achieved perfection by wronging.

I like both and Ripley is closer to the book, but I prefer The Talented Mr. Ripley. I think it is actually better then the book. Jude Law as Dickey is so charming. And Matt Damon’s version of Tom is somewhat sympathetic even though he is a psychopath. He gave more depth to the character. But both are very good movies.

@ckotcher1 Месяц назад

yes, Damon and especially Jude Law were great in “TTMR”…. As were the side characters played by Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman… But the one thing they didn’t have was the actor who plays “Ripley” in the new Netflix series… He was in Black mirror. (smithereens) and who could forget Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch. My point is he’s an underrated top notch actor probably one of the best of his generation… So I’m looking forward to seeing Ripley, if only for that.

@SamSpadeHawaii Месяц назад

I have been a fan of Patricia Highsmith and the Ripley stories since 1971 when I first read the Talented Mr Ripley. I have watched the two previous film versions and was excited to learn that the Netflix series was in Black & white as well as having the Italy scenes in Italian with subtitles. However, right from the first scene, I was uneasy about Andrew Scott. He is almost 48 years old and looked every bit of it. When Tom met up with Mr Greenleaf, he was 25 as was his son. I watched all 8 episodes and enjoyed it as I used to enjoy Cine Noir, but not as a good version of Patricia Highsmith's opener to the Ripliad. Patricia Highsmith herself liked Alain Delon as Tom. So my impression was that she wanted her character to be at ease and happy with his new persona. Both Tom and Dickie come across as older, and uninteresting.

@1arttu Месяц назад

Totally agree - especially Dickie is uninteresting in the Netflix series. Can't comment Ripley, because he lacks emotions and acts like a psychopath.

All cinema adaptations of Ripley were very moralistic, in the sense they ALL give the protagonist something he never had: a moral compass. The book character is completely amoral, and I find amazing he was imagined in the incredible moralistic decade of 1950. So I prefere this Ripley much more than Matt Damon's. The cinema adapation also made Richard a much more unsypathetic character, all these changes seems to me a kind o treason to the original story.

@rodderschapman9451 Месяц назад

Al that seems to motivate him is money. Matt Damon made me feel awkward with mr. Ripley, sometimes I found myself feeling sorry for him. At least I could understand his emotions (because they were shown on his face and expressions). Andrew Scott's Ripley was more like a psychopath to me. Can't say, who was more faithful to the novel, because I read it some 30 years ago.

I think the recent series is far more powerful. I might be the only one who is not a fan of Matt Damon's Ripley. The movie is way more eerie to me. I get way more creep vibes from Damon which I guess makes his portrayal accurate. I know Andrew Scott mainly as Moriarity (Sherlock) and 'Hot Priest' (FleaBag). I personally loved the black and white and comparisons to Caravaggio which reminded me of Citizen Kane. I lived in Italy when I was a youth and loved revisiting all that beauty especially in Rome and Venice, although I lived in Vincenza. I loved watching Tom learn Italian gradually. I loved the comparisons to Caravaggio and the big reveal at the end explicitly alluding to Tom's "Art" of deception. So well done from all aspects. The movie really pales in comparison to me although I love the MidCentury feel of the film, I feel the 1950's era darkness-in-naivete has been done to death. So it was nice to see a change in pace and style.

@wearethenightparty 18 дней назад

Such a weird 2024 conceit to pop a woman in the role of Freddie and expect the 1950's male characters to act like she's a man and for viewers to also pretend that she's a man. What a bizarre, anachronistic demand to do in an otherwise excellent production. Completely blew the suspension of disbelief.

@codyhoskins1319 Месяц назад

I'd want to compare both iterations to Purple Noon, although I think both Purple Noon and Talented Mr. Ripley are arguably great films. Ripley however is too time consuming, even for a miniseries that's adhering to a novel, and makes me glad that films can condense things that don't need much elaboration, such as the lengthy pace of Tom commuting back and forth between hotels, cities, and stations. I even think the actors' performances are kind of two-dimensional and some of them are a little miscast, such as how they made Freddie and his friend or boyfriend too young, boyish, and flamboyant to be pals of Dickie who's a lot older, stoic, homophobic, and macho to be that open for their company. It's especially strange that Marge would accept Tom's innocence with how she behaves around him and I can't tell if she sent the detective that book with Dickie's photo because she realized Tom was impersonating him.

Paltrow was an amazing Marge...Fanning is blah, miscasted.miscast. I'll take any adaptation, what a treat, but the movie is Beyond!!

Fanning was much better

The things is Dakota's Marge is definitely more accurate to the Marge of the book and I really liked Gwyneth Paltrow's Marge but I think with her being more glamourised for the 1999 film was a bit of a vehicle for Gwyneth to be captured in that moment at the peak of her career in a Hitchcock heroine style role. Nonetheless, both them did a good job.

Black and white FILM is so warm and sensual and rich, so many subtleties in the greys of light and shadow, curves of light around ornaments, and it remains so even digitised later. La Dolce Vita is gorgeous. Digital from the get go loses all that. The Netflix version is a visual snorefest. I skipped forward to see if it opened into colour for the Italian scenes but it was all in b/w. The thing about TTMR (and Plein Soleil) was how much you really felt the sun and nature of Italy and the sea, the environment. Who wants to watch a film set in a dreary flattened-out Italy that looks like a late night B movie gothic horror?

Loved the way the series adaptation was shot … but was not a fan of the casting. I watched it anyway, and was glad I did in the end. Still would recast several roles though.
