The Talented Mr. Ripley
--------------------------------------------------
One of my favorite movies is: "The Talented Mr. Ripley." This movie is set in the late 1950's New York. It is about a young man named Tom Ripley, a young underachiever, who is sent to Europe to retrieve a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy, named Dickie Greenleaf. But when the errand fails, Ripley kills the playboy and begins to assume his life. He even falls for the playboy's fiancée.
--------------------------------------------------
This movie stars many wonderful actors including: Matt Damon (as Tom Ripley); Jude Law (as Dickie Greenleaf); and Gwyneth Paltrow (as Marge Sherwood, Dickie's fiancée).
I like this movie on so may levels. My favorite actor Jude Law plays a character who is into Jazz music, and I myself can relate as I too like Jazz music. I also like the mysterious air about this movie, it is very thrilling.
One of my favorite quotes from the movie is from the character Tom Ripley:
"I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody."
--------------------------------------------------
I would recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it.
You can find out more about this movie on the
Internet Movie Database
