It was quite daring though I think the ending itself was meant to be shocking but with an air of ambiguity.<br /><br />@Chris-I haven't seen <i>The Talented Mr. Ripley</i> so I really can't say which one I prefer. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-27806711075475807402015-03-06T06:29:45.222-08:002015-03-06T06:29:45.222-08:00Alain Delon’s performance as Tom Ripley is very as...Alain Delon’s performance as Tom Ripley is very assured, yet also quite cold, so maybe that’s why I prefer Matt Damon in that role. <br />I prefer the 1999 film for entertainment, yet the 1960 version to me feels closer to real life.
