Is Zaillian turning Ripley's story on its head?
As a lover of the Ripley's stories (I have watched Delon's, Malkovich's and Damon's ) I cannot stop loving so far(I am in episode 2) the visual and thematic transformation that Zaillian has made of the Ripley's theme. It's radical to turn the Amalfi coast and Caravaggio into black and white. Also his creation of silence. I believe he wants to turn the characters too. Andrew Scott , always so sweet and likable, as the villain. Scarface Flyn (not sunnyface Jude Law) as Dickey who I am afraid Zaillian is urging us to dislike profoundly, starting with his highly bad taste in art. I wonder whether Zaillian wants us to accept Ripley's resolution.
