The acting, by all of the actors, is superb. Matt Damon, as Tom Ripley is outstanding. He portrays a very complicated character believably. At no time are you aware that he is acting. This character does things that are, indeed, despicable; however, due to the acting skills of Damon, I actually liked the guy and felt deep sympathy and empathy for him and for his desire to be someone else
(I think we all have been there-at least I have-fortunately all of us don't do what Tom Ripley does, in the film, to achieve our wishes). To me the last scene of the film is fantastic and heart breaking due to Matt Damon giving a gut wrenching performance--the character Tom has finally found someone to love, and has found someone that accepts him as himself but due to past deeds and the need to keep his past hidden, he has to kill the person that could have brought him love and happiness. As usual, Jude Law, as the playboy and errant son Dickie, is awesome. He plays a cad but due to his acting skills you, like this cad. Gwenyth Platrow gives a "knock-em dead" performance, as Dickie's girlfriend starting out as a plastic rich "air-head" and ending up as the only one that really knows what has happened to Dickie when he has disappeared and becoming a completely different person because of that knowledge. Her knock down drag out with the character Tom is great. Cate Blanchett plays a socialite- debutante-type wonderfully. The acting alone would have made "The Talented Mr. Ripley" a great film; however, there is more!
The film has one of the best sound tracts that I've ever heard. The sound tract makes use of Renaissance Church music, so-called "Classical music" "cool" jazz and one of my favorites I (if not my favorite) pop standards-"My Funny Valentine" sung wonderfully by Matt Damon. The sound tract is gorgeous! What impressed me the most is that Matt Damon and Jude Law took the time to learn to really play the instruments that they were suppose to be playing in the film-Damon, the piano and Law the saxophone. One of my favorite scenes is in the smoked filled American-jazz nightclub--fabulous.
The recreation of 1950-era Italy is great and it is shot beautifully.

Matt Damon plays a character who is so awkward it hurts to watch him. I think the movie works because everyone knows what it feels like to be a perpetual outsider. Ripley is very talented. He is very funny and very clever. But he is never truly accepted, partly because it doesn't take long to realize there seems to be no real Mr Ripley. He doesn't know who he is, all he knows is what he wants. In this way he is a fundamentally selfish character who doesn't really care about anyone.
In the end Mr Ripley is thoroughly believable, as is everyone else in this film which is why it works so well and why this movie is so spooky, not because the plot twists the characters into unusual situations where they act unusually creepy, but because Mr Ripley himself is creepy beyond belief and the plot allows us to see the full extent of such a dark twisted man.
Matt Damon is awesome in this role and this I think was the first film I ever saw him in. When I saw this film I understood why he's so respected as an actor; Mr Ripley is an incredibly complex and contradictory character and Damon does him so well that the character and the actor become one and same person. Subsequently all his other roles seemed to me to be very boring and dry, although I've not yet seen good will hunting. I am thinking of saving private ryan, greenzone & the bourne series. I think a typical hollywood hero role is a waste of Damon's talent.
There is so much going for this movie, the sound track is chilling, the settings are beautiful, the characters rub off on you. But all this brightness is out-shined by the very talented Mr Damon.
This is one of those movies I would have liked much better if I hadn't read and admired the book. First-rate cast, director, cinematography, production design. However, I found two major flaws (one star off for each.) First, Ripley's talent for mimicry is established early on but then the movie fails to make any real use of it. As readers of the book will know, the way in which he employs this talent is critical to the story. Second, two significant characters not found in the book are inserted into the movie, which - along with other liberties - completely changes both the plausibility and the final resolution. Sadly, this movie was good enough that there is unlikely to be an attempt at a better one; I can only hope some talented producer decides to take it on as a TV series.

Matt Damon plays the impoverished Tom Ripley whose life takes on a complex turn of events after he borrows a Princeton jacket from a friend and fellow pianist in order to fulfill a favour - his friend has injured his arm and is unable to play at a private function so Ripley steps in. The host thereafter remarks on Ripley's great performance before he and his wheelchair-bound wife, Emily, notice the Princeton logo on his blazer, remarking that he was of the same class as their estranged son, Dickie Greenleaf, whom is living it up in Italy on his allowance as a spoiled playboy.
Greenleaf senior invites Tom Ripley to his shipyard and offers him a substantial sum of money to travel First Class to Italy to persuade his son to return home. Impressed by Ripley's piano renditions, he scoffs at his son's rather awful taste in jazz music. With this in mind and to appear convincing, Ripley studies the Princeton Yearbook and takes a hands-on crash course in Jazz in order to ensure his target, Dickie (played well by Jude Law), will endear himself to him through a feigned mutual appreciation for jazz. However, once in Italy having sought out Dickie who is languishing on the beach with his girlfriend, Marge (played convincingly by Gwyneth Paltrow), and having secured a dinner invitation, Ripley rapidly grows envious of Dickie's playboy lifestyle and wants to prolong the union.
Dickie soon tires of the novelty of having a new friend/ hanger-on and suggests one last trip before urging Tom to return to the States with a clear message that he has no desire to give up his playboy lifestyle and return to his family. When the two share a lone boating trip across a favoured bay however, things take a drastic turn as an argument ensues - leading Tom Ripley into a web of deceipt and trepidation - all almost blighted by sporadic appearances from a fellow traveller and wealthy admirer, Meredith Logue (Cate Blanchett), whom he introduces himself to as the man he was sent to find when first their paths cross in the ship's disembarkation area. Obviously, Meredith has to be avoided but it is a small world in that part of Italy....
Very tense and gripping movie with nail-biting twists and turns!
We see Ripley ease into more lies and insinuate himself into Dickie’s home and lifestyle but are surprised when he casually confesses his purpose for being there. He does a replay of the conversation he had with Dickie’s father — a perfect imitation. He admits to his talents — not jazz or piano but imitation, forgery, lies. Dickie becomes involved with Ripley and they go to jazz clubs together, sail, and travel. Before long, Dickie tires of Tom’s dependency on him, on his money, on his contacts and they take one last vacation together. Ripley has become obsessed with Dickie and the lifestyle. His first murder is in anger; violent, reluctant, almost self-defence. The viewer is drawn to be sympathetic toward him but still rather horrified as is Ripley. But in short order, he has recovered, disposed of the evidence, and assumed Dickie’s identity. He has to maintain a dual identity and keep straight who he is with whom. Dickie’s fiance, Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow), and friends know him as Ripley but now new friends see him as Dickie. He walks a taut line becoming more and more expert at lying, more and more willing to commit murder to cover his tracks.
There are more surprises and twists around every corner as Ripley keeps improvising to maintain the new lifestyle to which he has quickly become accustomed. The tension becomes palpable and just when you think he’s finally made it with wealth and a safe position, there’s one final twist. The music (mostly jazz) throughout the movie is great. It’s another way into the lifestyle. The music composed by Gabriel Yared is fabulous. When Ripley sings “My Funny Valentine“, Marge’s favourite song, with the Guy Barker International Quintet, it is extremely poignant. The haunting song at the end, “You Don’t Know What Love Is“, (as the credits roll) leaves the viewer quite unsettled. Sympathetic still? Maybe. Empathetic? Quite possibly. But more sad and disturbed than anything else. An amazing movie.
Besonders gut gefällt mir, wie Minghella die Musik als stil- und charakterbildendes Element verwendet: Ripley, der in sich gefangene, verklemmte Kopfmensch liebt die Klassik; Dickie's spontanes, unbekümmertes Wesen spiegelt sich in seiner Liebe zum Jazz wider.
Damit gleich zu den Darstellern: Matt Damon bekommt die Zerrissenheit seins Charakters perfekt hin - er ist erschreckend und bemitleidenswert zugleich - und schafft damit einen wesentlich facettenreicheren Ripley als Alain Delon seinerzeit. Dennoch, Jude Law als Playboy Dickie Greenleaf ist der heimliche Star des Films - sein jugendlicher Übermut, seine erotische Anziehungskraft, seine Spontaneität, sein Charisma... perfekt dargestellt, völlig zu Recht für den Oskar nominiert. Bei ihm hat man wirklich das Gefühl als SEI er selbst dieser Charakter: man fühlt sich(wie Tom Ripley) großartig, solange er Tom's bester Freund ist - und dann furchtbar, als er ihn fallenläßt. Auch Gwyneth Paltrow spielt überzeugend, ihr Gefühlswandel gegenüber Tom Ripley wird gut herausgearbeitet. Darin besteht die Kunst des Buches und auch dieser (und ich betone, nur DIESER) Verfilmung: den Zuseher in das Dilemma der Hauptfigur hineinzuziehen, ihn mitleiden und mitfiebern zu lassen, obwohl man sich von ihr abgestoßen fühlt.
Auch sämtliche anderen Rollen sind perfekt gecastet, von Freddie Miles über Peter Smith-Kingsley bis hin zu Tenente Roverini. Vor allem Philip Seymour Hoffmann passt perfekt in die Rolle des vulgären, blasierten Amerikaners Freddie Miles, der Tom von Beginn an durchschaut und den dieser so fürchtet. Wie unwohl und gehemmt er sich jedes Mal in der Gegenwart von Freddie fühlt, ist für den Zuschauer förmlich greifbar.
Kurz noch zur Sonderausstattung der DVD, auch diese ist durchaus ansprechend, neben den üblichen Features (Interviews, Trailer, Starinfos, Making of) gibt es auch 2 Musikvideos, die Performance von Matt Damon und Jude Law im Jazzkeller, zu sehen. Besonders hervorzuheben sind der REGIEKOMMENTAR und die Dokumentation MAKING OF THE SOUNDTRACK, bei diesen Extras erfährt man viel über die Herangehensweise Anthony Minghella's an diesen Film.
Alles in allem ist zu sagen, daß DER TALENTIERTE MR.RIPLEY ein psychologischer Thriller ist, welcher sicherlich weniger von purer "Suspense" (klassischer Thriller-Spannung eben) lebt, als vielmehr von der feinen Schilderung der Charaktere und seiner spannungsgeladenen Beziehungen zueinander. Die Charaktere sind vielschichtig - und offenbaren im Verlauf des Filmes unter ihrer glänzenden Fassade stets eine dunkle Seite. Das idyllische Küstenstädchen Mongibello bildet den perfekten Kontrast zur dunklen Handlung.
Jene die den Film als "langweilig" beurteilt haben, sind vermutlich mit falschen Erwartungen in den Film gegangen oder fühlten sich von der Thematik unangenehm berührt. Alle jene die das Gefühl der eigenen Unzulänglichkeit in der einen oder anderen Form schon mal kennengelernt haben, werden sich zumindest ein klein wenig in Tom Ripley widerfinden. Ihnen wird er auch diese kleinen Schauer über den Rücken jagen, welche die Wirkung dieses Films ausmachen.
Btw: Used disc in flawless condition. 5 STARS FOR THE SELLER!! Many thanks!
