The Talented Mr. Ripley

Szu-Huey and I watched The Talented Mr. Ripley tonight. I first saw this in the theaters and really liked it. It is still very enjoyable because of how well Matt Damon is able to fill the role of Tom Ripley, a character that believes it is "better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody". That quote describes one of the themes to the film. I think part of this movie's appeal is that the protagonist is someone who you know is wrong, but you cannot ignore the similarities between you and him.
