the talented Mr. Ripley
Last time I was at the store I picked up one of my favorite films, The Talented Mr. Ripley. I am absolutely enamored with Ripley’s character and his interaction with Dickie’s character, partly because it reminds me of a pseudo-relationship I had in high school, mostly because I can identify SO much with Ripley and his desire to become the beautiful and affluent Dickie. And I love that it’s a period piece.
I watched the special feature with the interviews with the cast and director and such, and Patrick has definitely gained über coolness points, since he owns a Vespa.
I love my computer, I can blog and watch movies simultaneously. I’m trying to write a story, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Must stop watching his movie, but I simply love it. Oh crap, I have class Monday, I should read my creative writing chapter. Maybe that will get me in the mood.
