Totally agree! Philip Seymour Hoffman too was the perfect Freddy Miles. Minghella's "Marge" tho, a HUGE (and unsuccessful) departure from Highsmith's novel.
Lee Murray Paltrow was perfect for that role. It's hard to step up and stay in the same level as Matt Damon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and of-course Jude Law.
The italian guy singing on stage is called Fiorello. He is one of the most famous and talented Italian commedians of all times. He recently participated in a podcast telling how the director randomly met him during the shootings and decided to involve him in the movie. He is still in good terms with Matt Damon.
@@CeceSaysHi_950 the book is around 270 pages, that's a few days of reading at most. In any case, the writer, Patricia Highsmith is a literal psychopath and pseudo-satanist, she was a mentally sick writer.
This is one of the best psychological thrillers ever ever. Directed by Anthony Minghella ( the English Patient) does a superb job creating the look and feel of 1950s Italy. It is a must see!!! Written Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train)
Most people love this scene for the raw charisma and the great music, but there are more tiers to it than that. The song making fun of an Italian who desperately wants to escape his Italian background and appear American. The first question is if Dickie brings Tom up to sing because he suspects/believes Tom to be someone who is fake, and wants to send a message. The second question is if Dickie realises that the song is equally about himself who refuses to come home to the US and become who his family expects him to be - even down to the line in the song about someone else paying for the fake lifestyle - in the song the mother, in Dickie's case his father. The third question is if Tom realises either of those to questions even exist... My guesses are 1) Yes Dickie chooses this song intentionally to put Tom on the spot 2) Yes Dickie wouldn't be the Dickie we can't stop being mesmerised by if he hadn't figured that out and still didn't care 3) I think Tom is worried about being found out, but i think he fails to see that the song is equally about Dickie....
I think you are probably over-analysing. Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow’s character) says in the film that dickie only knows like six songs. If I had to dig deep I’d just assume it’s just a song that dickie knows because Italians may sing it to him when they see an American.
@@Pacino44 You do know that Dickie is a fictional character? The people who wrote the book/made the movie probably know more than six songs, and there are a lot of underlying themes that your only supposed to catch on repeated rewatching. I'd be very surprised if its a big coincidence that the iconic song from a movie about someone pretending to be someone they are not is also about someone pretending to be someone they are not... As to Dickie's motivations or lack thereof it's possible your right, but it's more fun if we assume Dickie has motives...
I doubt Dickie was thinking that deep, he seemed pretty aloof and carefree the whole movie. His carefree character is the reason why Tom was able to get that close to him in the first place, even with the constant red flags he was displaying
It’s a good analysis but I also don’t like when people look so deep into things , honestly. If someone enjoys it for what it is that’s good enough. Like wine, some people love wine, but they don’t need to know every detail about which region it comes from and year it is.
I'm italian and when i first watched this movie without knowing the plot i was wtf, especially this scene with the guy with red shirt who is an italian comedian, btw I've loved this movie
i love this song i love this movie i love jude law i love fiorello!!! when they did the movie i was younger and they made part of it in ischia, the island where i live(in the movie this island is a little town called mongibello) and i saw jude law, matt damon and gwineth paltrow while they were playing!!!
No he didn’t. He was just singing the words such as “Whiskey and Soda” “Coca-Cola” “Americano” “Baseball “. The director was smart enough to tell Damon not to pick Italian words. Back in 1950s this song was very popular in Italy.
@@mirix1515 The whole point of him singing only the English parts is because the character is American and this is the first time he hears the song, he sings what he's managed to pick up from the two guys.
0:27 - there's something so identifiable about Tom here. He hates his poverty, and it's totally understandable he looks up to Dickie. Handsome, rich, charismatic, fun, "cool" Dickie. I get how he wants to find his identity/purpose by being Dickie's friend, thus becoming "important" by association. If Dickie had let him, I believe Tom would've been a super loyal hang-on, just to be able to enter the elite world. When Dickie rejected him, it stung so much that he lashed out in rage. But we can see that he truly loved Dickie, in his own twisted way, by the way he held the corpse afterward. I feel sorry for Tom, and this was a fantabulose movie.
Tom was incredibly smart and adaptable, but he just never came from any money; perhaps we can infer that he was kicked from his family due to his homosexuality, or something else. While he was sociopathic, there's a part of me that thinks that he could've been a very powerful ally and friend to Dickie. Based on his little exposure we saw, he would've fit in very well with the elites and most likely able to form connections for business. He was shrewd with words and able to read people despite being slightly awkward. I think Dickie failed to see an opportunity due to his own arrogance.
If he "let him", let him what exactly? Dickie, like any sane person, refused Tom's advances in the bathroom, and Tom behaved like a leech, like a little girl, as Dickie said, always following him and not letting go. This is why I disliked this movie; he murders and then starts impersonating a guy and we are supposed to feel sympathy for him? The dude was a black hole destroying everything everywhere he went, he quite literally didn't do one thing right, he only destroyed lives for his selfish and sociopathic reasons. But then again, the writer of the book, Patricia Highsmith, was a very evil and twisted woman who loved the N*zis, and in her own words, loved evil and considered it greater than good. She was a pseudo-satanist and a mentally ill sociopath, no wonder she tried so hard to make Ripley look like the troubled misunderstood guy.
i would certainly fall in love with jude law, too. dedicating a song for me and smiling at me from the stage would seize and captivates any boy's heart
This is such a good film! The new Ripley series on Netflix definitely lives up to its standards; hard to decide which is better… Bravo to all the actors involved in this film.
I'm seeing the movie right now on VT4 I couldn't believe it when I heard them singing that awesome song, I automatically started singing with! Simply amazing
The woman in the white dress who kisses Dickie and then dances is the gorgeous Italian actress Caterina De Regibus (aka Deregibus). Her father is Italian and her mother is Ethiopian. Her character in the movie is Dahlia.
Nothing will ever top this scene or just the chemistry between these two. Dicky is well an asshole but because he got so much charisma I can’t help but forgive him and root for him. Tom is so awkward and obvious around him 😭
It's been 17 years since this movie and I'm still waiting for someone that is as perfect as Jude is in this film.
He is utterly beautiful, isn't he? At his staggeringly gorgeous best
Totally agree! Philip Seymour Hoffman too was the perfect Freddy Miles. Minghella's "Marge" tho, a HUGE (and unsuccessful) departure from Highsmith's novel.
Best Dickie Greenleaf ever - Patricia Highsmith would've approved!

I‘m Waiting for him to marry me 😂
I'm in love with Jude Law.
@Perry Ellis lmao who are you?
@Perry Ellis try acting
Aren’t we all
No, you are in law with Jude Love
The men of my dream/ Fantasy life: Mel Gibson, Shahrukh Khan, Jude Law and Kerem Bursin … thanks for being such a great actors and soooo charismatic💚

he's HOT ngl xD
When life is cool, this is what it looks like.
This film is great. But watching it is one of the most stressful experiences of my life, I felt like I wanted to explode the entire time.
The book had the same effect only prolonged over several weeks instead of a few hours 😭
Renato Carasone is better

I just achived my dream : reproducing this exact scene in a karaoke crowded with excited people who loved my performance
I am very happy for you
I have heard many, many versions of this song but this is my favorite..even without the eye candy.
💛
Same here
Matt Damon and Jude Law are really handsome! ^^ Favorite scene of my favorite movie!!
One of the best movies ever. Great drama
Best movie i have ever seen.. Never get tired of it.. I could go back anytime..
This is one of the best scenes ever!!
this scene makes me happy
great film even today. great to watch on a lazy Sunday.

jude's smile at 0:45 kills me everytime! anyways, such a fan song to sing along to.
I'm italian and when i first watched this movie without knowing the plot i was wtf, especially this scene with the guy with red shirt who is an italian comedian,
btw I've loved this movie
tra l'altro bravissimo fiorello. interpretato top
So do you think being American is really so much better than Italy?
In questo film ci sono sia rosario che beppe... Fantastici
@@marcellomerlanti2473 anche Beppe? In quale scena? Non ho presente...
@@Fungooo la morte di Silvana.... Quando la portano in. Ambulanza beppe prova a salire ma rosario lo prende per la testa e grida "è morta.. È morta"
0:44 Jude's smile tho
Literally replayed that part a million times just for the smile
i love this song i love this movie i love jude law i love fiorello!!!
when they did the movie i was younger and they made part of it in ischia, the island where i live(in the movie this island is a little town called mongibello)
and i saw jude law, matt damon and gwineth paltrow while they were playing!!!
Omg your so lucky
one of the best scenes. Amo italia amo Italian culture and people.
Can’t recall how many times I’ve watched this film - never gets old. Never 👌🏼
damn my jude law obsession and my obsession of this film. Just read the book very different still great!!!
had no idea there was a book.
Gwyneth Paltrow's "Marge" is the biggest character departure from the Highsmith book.
0:15 you've managed to impress a sociopath and make him happy: that takes a lot!
Dickie was a sociopath too though.
*Psychopath
... And then he killed him
More like a psychopath.
Ripley never heard the song before but picks up on the lyrics, he is indeed a quick study!
No he didn’t.

Yes, Ripley had a hunger to be near Dickie and to be Dickie.

Envy kills.
Jude law is PERFECT !! *-*
What a movie - all time favorite. Watched it 5 times already and wanna watch it again
I’ve watched this movie a hundred times but watching this great scene while visiting Rome ... just feels amazing! I ❤️ Jude Law and Matt Damon
great movie, I stayed in the house in Italy
i would certainly fall in love with jude law, too. dedicating a song for me and smiling at me from the stage would seize and captivates any boy's heart
Any boy's heart? Or only the homosexuals and bisexuals? Don't lump all of us guys into your world!
he didn't dedicate the song, sorry wishful thinking
i cannot help but Jude Law makes this movie so great !!! :) I love him
Fiorello is great!
This will forever be my favorite version of this song
legendary movie legendary scene ... legen wait for it ... dary.. LEGENDARY !!!!
Best scene of the movie😮💨🙌
Matt Damon was SO beautiful on this film!
young woman dancing at 1:45... oh man those Italian girls!!
Ahhhh...
4exgold anyone know who this is?
@@kanedinsay7081 Caterina Deregibus
Watched this again last night. Great movie!
Highsmith created the greatest myth of the 20th century. Like Faustus, Percival, Hamlet, Quixote. It's mister Ripley. And Matt played it.
This movie is a copy. The original film "Plein Soleil" with the magnifique Alain Delon is much better.
Absolutely love the original version of this song, but I have to say I love this version even more.
Best film ever!
This is such a good film! The new Ripley series on Netflix definitely lives up to its standards; hard to decide which is better…
Bravo to all the actors involved in this film.
Jude Law and Matt Damon.
Love this film, and Jude Law
Awesome song and film! Law and Damon are great!
i love this movie but especially this scene , awesome video
