I have always been fascinated by con artists, so you can't imagine how happy I am that this week's Thursday Movie Picks is featuring them as we are asked to pick films about fake identities. Without any further ado, here are my favourite three:
Mulan (1999) - Review
The first film I saw in a movie theatre as well as my favourite Disney Classic, this beautiful film tells the story of a young Chinese maiden who, in order to save her father from certain death, disguises herself as her father and joins the army in his place.
Parasite (2019) - Review
Many people's favourite Best Picture winner in recent years — mine included — Bong Joon-ho's film follows a happy but poor family whose condition improves when they are hired by an upper-class family, the Parks. How does it fit? Because each of them uses a fake identity to land the job, and they have to keep the fact that they are family a secret.
Purple Noon (1960) - Review
The first adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley, this flawed and yet terrific film follows Tom Ripley (Alain Delon), a young man who is hired to go to Rome and bring a rich kid (Maurice Ronet) back to the US. Things go out of control when Tom begins to play with identities.
