I liked both but I prefer 1999 too❤😊

Me too 😊

[@Enr227]

I just reread the book. Jude Law gave an uncannily brilliant performance as Dickie.

[@RebeccaHarkness]

1999 for the win

[@tixeright9120]

lol the 2024 version makes me want to take an oar to my own head.

[@GizmoMaltese]

lol, that's a great comment. Why is Ripley so old? I just looked it up and in the book he's 25-years-old. This entire story makes no sense if he's in 40's. One would expect him to have formed some kind of identity by his 40's. It makes more sense for Ripley to be searching for an identity and the approval of Dickie when he's still young and growing.

[@tixeright9120]

@@GizmoMaltese absolutely. A mid-life crisis or fugitive situation could have pushed an older man to seek a new identity, but I doubt such a man would have hardly done it as a matter of personal obsession (which is a decidedly youthful feeling to have and maintain about anyone at all), and besides that is a whole different kind of story (and those stories have been told), than this one in which a miserable lone-wolf psycho seeking the acceptance of those he admires just ends up killing what he loves (and what hates him) in order to become what he loves (and what can forget about his old self), and it just makes sense that they met at college when Ripley was his more authentic self, deeply isolated from his peers by the profound clash between socio-economic classes.

[@mobiz711]

I don't know why they changed the age dynamic in this, it definitely hurts the chemistry of the film.

[@showmoon]

People make comments with comparisons of well-known artists and the Netflix version of Ripley. I should say that cinematography is a form of art piece. It is more artistic than meeting Dickie. Ripley educates your sense of artistic eye. It is like you are in an art history class. RİPLEY IS A MASTERPİECE.

[@UnchainedMind999]

The compositions are so much better in the 1999 version. Much more creative. There's more of a creepiness about the 1999 version of Ripley.

[@tracym6652]

Matt Damon 100% But the encounter in the 1960 version is creepier

[@cherylthompson2731]

Yes.

[@hannotn]

Damon and Law are so identified with the characters that any remake has a very steep uphill battle. And based on this segment it's way out of condition getting up that hill and puffing already. This scene doesn't really make sense. Why would they invite him to swim when Dickie's response is already kind of "meh" and Ripley is so awkward in his approach. Who'd impinge on a beautiful romantic day in the sun by letting some forgettable nobody glom onto you? What worked in the movie just doesn't happen here.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

Actually, the new version is based on the novel, not the previous 1999 movie. The getting out of breath going uphill is right out of the novel.

[@hannotn]

@@gloriamontgomery6900 Maybe so, and it's an entirely subjective assessment of one viewer, but that scene just didn't work for me. Totally failed to sell the idea that they'd invite him to swim with them after such an unpromising initial interactions.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

@ Oh, yes. It is a weird setup. I wonder if it was made deliberately awkward to show how Ripley is purposefully inserting himself into the situation? Just a thought.

[@Saintinthecity-wh9nl]

I actually thought that Malkovich did a great job as ab older Ripley. But Damon is the definitive version.

[@OldkidLivegen]

Where is the 1960 version with Alain Delon ?

[@PlateletRichGel]

The ending of that one was the best. It's called "Purple Noon"

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

You can find it on KZbin under the name “Plein Soleil”.

[@RogerKomula-kl9lb]

I think I saw it or a French remake a few years before.

[@clarkvaughan]

Flat. Flat. Flat. No connection, no reason to ask him to swim. Just a cinematographer getting his cinematography thrills. So impressed with himself. Netflix LOVES to slow things down and drag stories out to increase watch hours. Ten hours of this??? No.

[@hansolo631]

Yea I'm actually a bit shocked at how odd this was, maybe I'm not the audience for this but it felt so stilted

[@landline00]

Feels like a fan film compared to the original film.

[@dvlarry]

Don't blame the cinematographer. He was probably working hard to salvage a bad situation. That's the best thing about this clip. The actors are horrible. And they are too old..

[@John-zl5jz]

So being from the upper class I understand when he said Tom he wasn’t inviting him to swim he was saying good bye Tom and apparently a lot of other thought that was an invitation to go swimming

[@rimrunz1795]

Whatever possessed them to think a re_make was worth doing..... I just don't know. In my book, there's no improving on the 1999 version : Matt Damon was th quintessential sociopath, as Ripley, and Jude Law portayed a despicable 50s sophisticate to the "T"...... Not to even mention th powerhouse of Gwyneth, Hoffman, Blanchett and Davenport!

[@laurenhahn101]

Especially Hoffman.

[@leninswalrus]

Its a series of books so its not a remake its a reimagining, i don't know if that makes a difference to you. Theres even an earlier version from 70s I believe

[@karenadya]

Except that this remake is much, much closer to the source material (Patricia Highsmith's book) both in tone and plot.

[@iamnoone705]

because studio's are cowards and only do shitty remakes

[@popjunkie16]

Yas! Actors royalty!

[@sleepn_on_me2473]

finishing up the netflix series its actually really good its almost more real not to mention its taking place ina time without technology and cameras

[@sleepn_on_me2473]

what i hate is that in the 99 version you SEE matt damons transformation in this..... well.... idk its hard to relate.... like theres nothing to relate to in this film....... in the 99 version i could almost see myself becoming a tom ripley losing myself in the conning of things

[@CloudMountainJuror]

People dogging on the remake version here are missing the context that the scene is supposed to feel like the most awkward thing imaginable. It feels forced, sterile, and inauthentic because that's how the situation is. The episode leading up to and including this emphasizes how unnaturally Tom is forcing himself into this scenario, and how grueling the task is for him. It takes every element of social awkwardness and tedium that can possibly exist and dials it up - including them being the only people on the beach at the time. If the only way you've seen this scene is in this side-by-side comparison, then you're missing out on what the show is actually offering.

[@sebastiankinnunen5549]

❤1999 version is the best! ❤This Ripley is too old.

[@KaraMarisa]

I think Ripley would have been better in color.

[@mrsblue3011]

There is no comparison. The remake is woefully inadequate.

[@samanthab1923]

They’re too old in the B&W version. Is that the beach at Amalfi?

[@karenadya]

No, it's in Atrani, which is next to Amalfi.

[@vinividivici777]

The best version is in the book, the original film is also more like the book version. I can really recommend the books

[@claudiocorleone7856]

The series was really good but Jud was amazing in 1999. However catch Alain Dillon’s version in Purple moon 1960 version of Ripley .

Throughout the whole Netflix adaptation, I have to think Andrew Scott took a page from the book of his character on Sherlock

[@carlayacuna5613]

This remake is awful, that Tom Ripply looks constipated and the face is making like he is smelling something rotten. Poor actors.

[@cookie_dough_hangover]

He's actually an amazing actor, won many awards and accolades, but he's also a 48 year old man playing a 25 year old . Ridiculous

[@Im_so_Retro85]

The 1999 version is top notch. They kept it simple. All you need is good actors. The netflix version went so overboard on the cinematography and artistic aspect to make up for the mediocre acting. I didnt mind the new version, but less is more. I think the whole black and white look is distracting. It would've been better in color. Also, Dakota Fanning's acting was horrible. So flat. She was such a fantastic child actor...what happened?

[@gterrymed]

[@journeytojoy3443]

I never noticed the detail about Ripley's shoes on the beach. (Is he too poor to purchase new shoes?)

[@AndyH-e2g]

That detail stayed with me as well and I couldn't quite get what they were saying so I did some research. I think that is the idea is that it shows his background and how he isn't completely camouflaged as such and he knows this leading to uncomfortable paranoia. While Ripley is aware of fashion he’s without the means to access it in the same way that the others are (he is poor) he has one shirt he washes out nightly, a threadbare cord jacket Dickie offers to replace and one pair of dress shoes that he has to wear to the beach (as you noticed). In many ways, the film is at pains to emphasise that, though Tom is good at what he does, he’s not quite good enough as Dickie, Marge and Freddie Miles all figure him out. The book itself says that Ripley manages to buy a swimsuit, “a black-and-yellow thing hardly bigger than a G-string” but not sandals. As he looks around at the “bronzed adolescent Italian boys,” he is “mortified at the big brown shoes on his feet and at his ghost-white skin.” Maybe the shame fuels the anger that leads to the murders.

[@journeytojoy3443]

@@AndyH-e2g Yes! I just re-read the book and saw the movie kept this detail. Another way to show the disparagment between the 2 classes, using fashion as an example

Disagree. He is amazing. Looks completely unassuming.

[@kevinbuckley7705]

Rubbish! He deserves all the praise received. A brilliant film - Jude Law and Matt Damon perfectly cast. Even Paltrow - who I dislike - is great. The film is considered a masterpiece by many in the industry.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

@@kevinbuckley7705 I simply can't square Highsmith's description of Ripley (that of having a perfectly ordinary yet malleable face) with Matt Damon, who is strikingly handsome and with a football player's physique.

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

@@kevinbuckley7705 In my humble ass opinion the best Ripley was Ian Hart's. He played the character in a radio series of the Ripley novels.

[@kevinbuckley7705]

@@DCI-Frank-Burnside Fair enough.The film and book - confess I've not read - can be evaluated on their own merits. Enjoy DiCaprio's work but he was far too "pretty"to be convincing in the 1995 "the Quick and the Dead". Just me? In the film I found Damon convincing in the part. Alain Delon was in the French version in the 60's - Purple Noon - he was perhaps even more attractive than Damon and Highsmith approved - tho' she was not apparently too thrilled that the ending was changed. I've reservations about Netflix's 2024 Ripley but think Highsmith would be chuffed that her work continues to find a new audience. Doubt The Talented Mr Riply could be made today -tourists would make location shooting impossible - and Italy was a big part of its charm.

[@jorgealves3436]

First there was Patricia Highsmith, then there was Tom Ripley, a sexy fox who lives on the brink of the abyss. He kills if he has to, but has no pleasure in it, it's self-defense. We love him we don't want him to get caught. Thank you Patricia!

[@jamesphilipson1289]

I loved the 1999 version when I saw it as a random watch, not knowing anything about it. It sent me on to reading the Ripley books, I have just one left to read (god I'd have loved her to direct more of these and make a series with Damon) The 2024 series had me so excited after longing for another Ripley depiction for years and this is what we got. Painfully slow, tediously indulgent cinematography, dreadful casting (this scene being a typical example of the lack of chemistry between characters or magnetism of any of them, especially inviting him to swim like wtf). It just felt so off and the B&W (artistic and beautiful as some may find it, good for you if so) was just so ugly and distracting to a fault for me. This turbulent darkness beneath Damon's portrayal, juxtaposed to existing in the beauty and splendour of the locations in the 1999 version was poetic enough without having it rammed in our faces in this B&W style. It was an unnecessary drag compared with the constant intrigue and excitement of 1999 Great film, I'm glad it exists

[@tinasparkles2434]

Wooden acting, awful concept and dialogue. They dont know the guy but invite him to swim? ...No.

[@sanjulienne]

Ripley lost the spirit and the fun of The Talented. One awash in BRIGHT color, peppered with terrific music of the period. Ripley, while beautifully shot was odd and dark and Ripley's 20yr age jump makes it less believable. Elle Fanning has an odd affect and zero sex appeal. No comparison whatsoever.
