The Talented Mr Ripley's Hidden Meaning

The Talented Mr. Ripley is a 1999 film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gweyneth Paltrow. While the The Talented Mr. Ripley has gained a lot of esteem worldwide for it's cunning portrayal of Patricia Highsmith's titular character I haven't seen anyone talk much about a secret easter egg hidden in The Talented Mr. Ripley's music.

The song in the beginning is the ‘Lullaby of Cain.’ Dickie and Tom are “brothers,” and Tom kills him like Cain kills Abel.

The elements of envy, insecurity, and murderous jealousy.

i re-visit this movie every year. one thing that always strikes me is tom seems so nerdy but when he takes off his shirt he's ripped.

This is my #1 favorite movie ALLTIME. I was a senior in high upon its release.

Great video and great movie. One critique tho, Ripley was disinvited to Cortina which is a posh ski resort town in the Italian alps which is known as the Dolomites not Venice. Small point but it just bothered me. Wondering if you have seen Ripley on Netflix. Thoughts?

[@sterlingwesson]

Haven’t seen it yet! Thanks for the fix!
