Tom is talented. Tom is tender. Tom is beautiful. Tom is…a mystery. Tom is not a nobody. Tom has secrets he doesn’t want to tell me, and I wish he would. Tom has nightmares. That’s not a good thing. Tom has someone to love him. That is a good thing. Tom is crushing me. Tom is crushing me…

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) dir. Anthony Minghella

Tom Ripley (Matt Damon) & Peter Smith Kingsley (Jack Davenport) in The Talented Mr. Ripley (dir. Anthony Minghella)

I do know that one of the clues for me, and in fact it resulted in my completely enlarging a character who’s mentioned only in passing in the novel, is that when Ripley fetches up in Venice late on in the story […] it appears as if he’s experienced absolutely no remorse whatsoever for what he’s done. And as this character, Peter Smith Kingsley, is pulling the drapes off this dusty old Venetian palazzo, he turns round to find Ripley collapsed in sobs on a couch.

And it seemed to me to be a great index of what the film might be, which is to hint at the fact that there is some consequence, an internal consequence, that there’s a prison that you can’t escape from, which is a prison of your own head. And no amount of talent to improvise your way out of trouble will ever get you out of the trouble that you have inside your own mind.

And so in some way, I thought it could be a story about the sentence of escape, rather than the sentence of being caught. — Anthony Minghella

"The thing with Dickie... it's like the sun shines on you, and it's glorious. And then he forgets you and it's very, very cold. When you have his attention, you feel like you're the only person in the world, that's why everybody loves him so much."
