The Talented Mr. Ripley This was my first viewing of the film, and from the get go it had me hooked. The opening music was really eerie and the rest of the soundtrack kept up this initial tone. Brimming with suspense; everything Tom does to survive is so fragil, it could fall apart at any moment. When it seems that he has been caught suddenly the tide turns. I think it was not just a drama but borderline horror, especially with the open ending. My only complaint is that I would have liked to have seen Tom beginning to impersonate Dicky beforehe kills him, if only to add a creepy edge to it. Or even to drop the homosexual sub-plot and make it more that Tom wanted to be Dicky rather than to be his lover from the beginning. Regardless, excellent movie and I am glad I finally got to see it.
