very dark, very british

I haven't read Wilde's original work, so I can't comment on it. This movie felt like a thriller to me at first, and I didn't realize it wasn't until I rolled back a year ago.

The male protagonist is amazing and reminds me of vampires, this movie is like another version of "Sweeney Todd", just as dark and British, except that Todd the Sweeney is out for revenge, and Dorian Gray has a slowly decaying soul.

The shots throughout the film are beautiful, especially the scene where Dowling is dating Miss Vane by the river, vane's curly blond hair, and white skirt; Dowling's handsome profile and slender body, and never will The lost youthful face does have a fatal attraction.

In the film, the artist Brasil and Dowling's broken relationship, I had a hunch in the first few scenes, but I didn't expect Dowling to kill him. The yellow scarf stained with blood was very dazzling. Who told him to bear the original sin, that oil painting is a pathway for Dorian's soul to corruption.

He may still be annoyed that herry's bewitchment led to his fall, so he went to vane's tomb after 25 years and wept silently. JIM's appearance makes him at a loss, so he must continue to be evil, just like the first time he walked into that dark, sensual CLUB for the first time, took the first cigarette from her hand for the first time.

That beautiful young man who was standing in London station, full of curiosity about everything, began to degenerate as the welts on his back disappeared. His perfect body that would never leave scars, in the attic, hid eternal secrets. Those maggots wantonly devoured the body that really belonged to him, and he had lost his identity.

This is clearly a tragedy.

    Watching this movie reminds me of Mei Lanfang. . . The screen doesn’t say that it is first-rate; the script, like other adaptations, is not as good as the original classic; BEN Shuai’s acting skills have improved slightly, and I look forward to his next year’s Tread Wave

    Those temptations are always the most beautifully packaged gifts and appear in front of you in the most human form, making you irresistible but unable to extricate yourself

Dorian Gray quotes

  • Dorian Gray: [On a girl he saw, who just departed with a man] That was probably her husband.

    Lord Henry Wotton: Yes, very sensible... People die of common sense, Dorian, one lost moment at a time. Life is a moment. There is no hereafter. So make it burn always with the hardest flame.

  • Lord Henry Wotton: What are you?

    Dorian Gray: I am what *you* made me! I lived the life that you preached... but never dared practice. I am everything, that you were too afraid to be.
