Wilde's novels have been read since I was a child. To be honest, I was very confused by many of his works at that time, especially "Salome". When I was a child, I was still more obsessed with retribution for good and evil. It was the plot setting where the protagonist did all the bad things that made me very depressed.
After watching "Dorian Gray", I felt that the adaptation was actually very good. It was still very depressing in the front, but it started to have thickness later. The male protagonist has the essence of goodness, which is more in line with modern morality. Moreover, the tanmei novels written by Wilde are only suitable for the niche and the nobles of the time, and it is still hopeful that they are made into movies. Because of this movie, haven't many people who have no feelings started to like this novel?
Wilde has seen through the life of the aristocracy, and his novels are destroying everything. But Hollywood is about creating protagonists that audiences love, whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, so I understand how they handle it.
There is only one thing that I think is not very clever, that is, the portrait will turn into a demon with a body. In fact, there is no need to explain the exchange of people and portraits. It is only necessary to shoot the burnt corpse and the complete portrait at the end. Shocking effect.
