天才雷普利是好幾年前看的電影了，最近又想起來，是因為迷上爵士樂的關係，想當初會看這部電影，正是ezpeer還在試用版的時候，一位小p介紹我看的，他也是迷上這部電影的配樂，尤其是爵士樂的部分，而在片中又是我的偶像Jude Law最喜愛的音樂…其實這部電影算是有點詭異，好像看著男主角Matt Damon 一步一步走向自我毀滅的歷程，看完心情有點沈重… 好玩的是片中Jude Law喜愛爵士樂，不喜歡受到束敷，又看似憤世嫉俗，嚮往南歐自由自在、碧海藍天的悠閒生活，但在感情上，卻是專情且無風無雨的；而另一方面Matt Damon喜歡循規蹈距的古典音樂，舉手投足也是個名校畢業的乖寶寶形象，但面對感情，又是全然自我到幾近病態，不惜毀滅全世界也要得到自己所愛的激進份子，正如電影介紹中所說的---Reply一生所追求的東西，Dickie卻是生來早已擁有，也許正是這樣，Reply變成只是一個充滿自憐自戀的悲劇人物，其實正確說來他並不是個愛情戰士，而只是一個力圖和命運反抗，用一種離經叛道的手法嘲弄人世不公的可憐兒，我還是喜歡Jude Law在片中的角色，而Jude Law天生的貴族氣息，也成了本片除了美麗的義大利風情外，另一個賞心悅目的風景…

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... Tom, you're crushing me!
