Judgment of a Person

“The Talented Mr. Ripley” was a very interesting film to watch with lots of thinking going on. Throughout the movie, I thought of Dickie as a rude and spoiled person who was going through puberty. On the other hand, Ripley superficially looks and acts like a kind and hardworking man. When the murder happened, it is really hard to fight for either side knowing the full story behind their relationship and the physical fight that happened on the boat. It made me realize how you can’t be biased towards someone in a trial because anything can happen that could have led to murder. I’m amazed how many different cases of murder there is and how it can differ between states.
