Well I didn't hate Saltburn, but the longer it run, the more I had the feeling that it doesn't have a point. And the ending was just bad and lazy. Im not ashamed to admit that Elrodi and Madekwe begin hot was the best part of the movie. But I will definitely check out Purple Noon, it's always better to have something, not only for the eye, but also for the mind.
2:11 looove Purple Noon, but I can't believe you called The Talented Mr Ripley “its western remake”??? First of all France IS a western country, and second the story of Ripley comes from a series of books by the brilliant Patricia Highsmith. The American movie is just another adaptation of the first book, NOT a remake of Purple Noon edit: I didn't mean to sound so aggressive lol, this is a great video!!!!!
Absolutely, I should have stated it American as a point of geography. This story had always been realized through a ‘western’ perspective so it was worth you mentioning. As far as the American novel,(which I didn’t realize was a series) I knew of it but never read it. Anyways, without the technicalities I think it’s understandable where I’m coming from, I’ll be mindful though thank you !
I love all three of these movies (including the 1999 "The Talented Mr. Ripley" which is imho a more faithful adaptation than Purple Noon). I think the motivations in Saltburn can be interpreted that Oliver is a sociopath who (in the first half) kills or hurts everyone who rejects him. The elitist family is so delusional that they keep him close despite the warning signals. It would not fit their ideal of letting the lesser fortunate have their breadcrumbs and being repaid that way. So they are kind of in denial.
I’m usually not too fussy about how faithful the adaptation is (aside from Tolkien stuff) but that being said, here I really can’t say because I was ignorant to the novel till now…as well as the Ripley show I’m just hearing of now ! I loved 1999 film, and if I’m not mistaken the ending isn’t the exact same as the novel, but defiantly closer than Purple Noon
@@elephantden The ending of the 1999 film differs a lot. The circumstances of the need of the final murder in the movie does not exist in the novel (I don't recall that the Cate Blanchet character appears in the novel). Also there is no gay romance. But altogether I find it quiet perfect how this movie combines great writing, acting, scoring, editing and the camera work. Also it's nerve wracking how Ripley weasels himself out of several crucial situations.
I like Saltburn cause it's a vibe. My satisfaction with it is purely based on vibes (I love the dark academia aesthetic it has going on), the soundtrack, Barry Keoghan and Jacob Elordi, and nothing else. The ending, in retrospect, is terrible and depicts the opposite of what Emerald SAID she wanted it to depict. On my first watch, I left feeling sorry for the Cattons, which isn't shocking considering what family she comes from among the British elite. How can you watch a movie expecting to walk away with an eat-the-rich mindset when the rich is the one making the film? Interestingly, she also made promising young woman that's supposed to be some girlboss kill all men film but has similar critiques as Saltburn. People have been reexamining the film and its message, and realising how the ending especially undermines the film.
You should defiantly check out Purple Noon and The Talented Mr Ripley if you haven’t, there’s sure to be aspects to each that you can appreciate if you love Saltburn
Saltburn was so self-centered and insulted my intelligence because the filmmakers were likely making it out of some spreadsheets' analytics of what works these days. I saw Talented Mr Ripley when it came first out and the new Netflix series, Ripley but never seen this Purple Noon.
I read this on Ripley's imdb page: Andrew Scott is the sixth actor to portray Tom Ripley on film, after Alain Delon in Purple Noon (1960) Dennis Hopper in The American Friend (1977) Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) John Malkovich in Ripley's Game (2002) Barry Pepper in Ripley Under Ground (2005)
@Man_Ray78 whoa I had no idea there had been this many versions of the character. And I do love black and white, I think it’s so under appreciated/used. It defiantly fits with the timelessness of this kind of story
I didn't hate "Saltburn". It was really just a movie that had the bad guy winning at the end. At least it was an attention keeping, fairly original by today's standards and interesting movie. I did think well that is messed up at the end but I believe most sane people would think that. You only very briefly mention "The Talented Mr. Ripley" that was clearly a remake of "Purple Noon". You failed to mention the Netflix series "Ripley" that came out this year at all. Ridiculous and pretentious to suggest a 60's French film as something anyone would love in comparison to either of the more modern Ripley adaptations.
@@elephantden Sorry, I missed the two seconds when you did. You didn't mention the Netflix series "Ripley" that came out this year at all. Both more modern Ripley takes would make better comparisons than a 1960's French film.
How could you not mention the ‘The talented Mr. Ripley’ when making thorough contrast / comparison? Saltburn was more allegory or film noir was it not? - Having more style than storytelling merit.
@@elephantdenIt seems like you didn't want to directly compare "Saltburn" to "The Talented Mr. Ripley" or "Ripley" (the 2024 series) because more people have likely seen that movie or the series than have seen "Purple Noon". You were trying to show just how much of a critical cinephile you are by not choosing either modern version of that story. If you hated Saltburn (you clearly did) then go watch a 1960's French film. You will love that! Seriously? It just comes across as pretentious.
Are you asking a question or giving your opinion of the video? 🤣Please raise your standards and learn how to construct an intelligible and proper sentence as well.
@marniekilbourne608 you’re starting to embarrass yourself by shamelessly spamming negativity with comments that get no support besides the single like on each one that you give yourself. Just move along
@@marniekilbourne608 Are you like 80 years old lol. Question marks are a common method of expression and I rly think u should get a life !! cause this was a great vid !!
@@elephantden It was not a compliment and your response makes no sense. Yes, I can only imagine just how hard and painful it was to edit a 10 minute UA-cam video. Good luck in the real world with a real job.
I did not find Saltburn to be boring at all. The pacing was good and the story had twists and turns. Obviously, the target audience would not be bougie kids if you at all comprehended what the movie was about. Even if you didn't, you could not fail to see that the poor guy kills the rich guy in the movie and destroys his rich family! It is also VERY clearly not a kids movie! I'm so sure you will enjoy his suggested old French film much more. It's not at all boring to have to read subtitles. If you thought Saltburn was too bougie, then you certainly can't handle a subtitled foreign film from the 60's.

I fucking hated SALTBURN, but loved Emerald's first film PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. But SALTBURN was ridiculous.

So Purple Noon is just like The Talented Mr Ripley, people should watch that one too it's fantastic.
Very much! Their endings are completely different though and it’ll be subjective to which one suits your enjoyment
@elephantden Cool, I'm going to check out Purple Noon, thank-you for the suggestion.
it's BASED on the talented mr. ripley (source novel).
This was my first thought when I watched SALTBURN was that it was a ridiculous TALENTED MR. RIPLEY ripoff.

Saltburn was just fucking boring, like yah it was weird but it’s really not that disturbing. So thanks for Bringing this flick to light
I don't know, killing off entire family, dry humping the grave is pretty disturbing imo
I loved loved loved Saltburn

I haven’t heard of this show till now, who plays Ripley?
@@elephantden Andrew Scott
@@elephantden Andrew Scott and he is damn good! It's in B&W and 8 episodes. It was never boring.

Haven't heard of it. Guess I'm an uncultured Spoink.
It’s never too late my friend
Saltburn was “adequate” at best. If you think that was a great film, you’ve not watched much cinema.
What an arrogant and pompous comment.
How could you not mention the ‘The talented Mr. Ripley’ when making thorough contrast / comparison? Saltburn was more allegory or film noir was it not? - Having more style than storytelling merit.
I did mention it in passing. Way more people are aware of Talented Mr Ripley so this video was meant to bring awareness to Purple Noon
