[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 434947, member: 8"] Purely based on its own merits I think RIPLEY '99 is a very entertaining film and also a very good film that shows homosexuality in a way that hasn't been done many times before, if at all. But from the point of view of the classic Ripley Villain it foreshadows the softening and victimisation of several classic and unapologetic villains as it was going to happen in 21st century cinema, especially from the 2010s onwards. You know, those origin stories that explain that they were bullied into becoming sort of a vigilante villain. Would it be stretch to say that RIPLEY '99 was the first film that implemented a bit of wokeness? Of course I don't mean the original meaning of woke, but the one that's used in a negative way.
