The movie The Talented Mr. Ripley opened my eyes to the danger that comes with passion and obsession. In the film, we saw Ripley’s obsession drive him to the extreme. He murdered his “best friend”, the person he was obsessed with (Dickey). It was crazy to see how insane he was acting and too see that he would take it that far. This obsession led him to take on a false identity, kill 2 of his companions, and lie to basically everyone he interacted with. Some might say he killed Dickey in self defense, but I do not believe that was the case. I think that his emotions took over him and led him to the extreme.
