A JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVE ON &#;THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY&#;
Introduction
This sheet aims to illuminate the actions of various characters in Anthony Minghella’s production “The Talented Mr. Ripley” by examining the causes and consequences of problems arising in the inner-self of a young male called Tom Ripley. This will be undertaken with regard to the concepts of “archetype” and “persona” as posited by Carl Gustav Jung. It will be argued that the balance between the self and the persona is essential in the individualization process and that Tom is actually hiding behind others’ persona by not recognizing or exposing his true self.
Carl Gustav Jung
Carl Gustav Jung
Carl Jung or Carl Gustav Jung () was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology.[1] His serve has been influential not only in psychiatry, but also in anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy and religious studies. Although the celebrated Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud was 19 years older than Jung, they were very good friends and worked together for many years. However, their fri

Then there is the casting. As Dickie and Marge, Jude Statute and Gywneth Paltrow take a kind of meta-allure to proceedings that still carries. Back then, after all, they represented the most gilded princelings of modern celebrity. Paltrow, end with her Oscar, blue-chip family connections (Steven Spielberg is her godfather) and A-list heartthrob boyfriends, was Hollywood’s brightest young thing. Law, on the other side of the Atlantic, was one of the key players in the so-called Primrose Hill place. The knowledge of this can’t help but feed into their perfectly to-the-manner-born screen aura – which shines bright right from their opening scene where Damon’s Ripley “accidentally” runs into them on the beach, and they squint up from their loungers in amused bemusement at this pasty, fluorescently speedo-ed interloper as if he was a strange subterranean creature. Law, especially, exudes a kind of privileged unselfconsciousness: on the flipside, as the Ripley-Dickie friendship disintegrates, he gives brilliant scowl, that capt
The End Of The Talented Mr. Ripley Explained
Thrillers, dramas, dark comedies, and character studies about queer people engaging in various forms of cons, deception, and other charismatic criminal activities possess become especially widespread in recent years. From social media hits like "Saltburn," "Do Revenge," and "I Care a Lot," to acclaimed indie and international flicks like "Kajillionaire," "Can You Ever Forgive Me?," and "The Handmaiden," it seems like the satirical countercultural motto of "Be queer , do crimes" has never been more cinematically en vogue than it is now. And one of the forebears of that wave was "The Talented Mr. Ripley."
The Anthony Minghella film is remembered, of course, for introducing mainstream audiences to Jude Law, and arguably giving Matt Damon the role of his career. But it is also remembered for introducing a whole modern generation to Tom Ripley, the most iconic creation of novelist Patricia Highsmith. Adapted from her novel of the same name, the film captivated audiences around the society with its vivid rendering of Highsmith's
Do Gay, Be Crime: The Talented Mr. Ripley (Anthony Minghella, )
When you're both on a boat and one guy's skull gets smote, that's-a Ripley
First things first: This is not just about The Talented Mr. Ripley. It’s about The Talented Mr. Ripley and Ripley (Netflix, ) and Saltburn (Emerald Fennell, ) and Influencer (Kurtis David Harder, ) and… Ripley, like Alienand Fatal Attraction, has become its hold genre. Its core elements — poor boy meets rich boy; gay boy meets straight boy; poor gay boy falls in love with rich straight male child, then murders him, then takes over his life — hold entered the collective unconscious and spawned a half-dozen mutations.
That said, Minghella’s was the first Ripley I knew, and the only one I knew for a long time, so I’ll re-acquaint you with it before continuing.
Matt Damon plays Tom Ripley, a working-class kid with a talent for impersonation and forgery, who is mistaken for a Princeton student by wealthy boatmaker Herbert Greenleaf. Mr. Greenleaf’s son, Dickie, has shipped off to Italy (on a boat) and r
