2009 Sept 9 - UK
Dorian Gray - Portrait of Dorian Gray
Director: Oliver Parker
Writers: Toby Finlay, Oscar Wilde (novel)
Stars: Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall

This is an adaptation of a novel The movie.
The story is...
a young and beautiful man, a painter, and a gentleman. The story of
a portrait. The
exchange of souls to keep beauty forever...
and the story of homosexuality.

I love this movie, But the network score is not high.

Maybe the original novel is gay, the description is much more detailed, but the movie has been deleted.

    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.

  • Emily Wotton: I hope I'm not interrupting your reminiscence?

    Lord Henry Wotton: One charm of the past, is that it's the past.

    Emily Wotton: Hmm... I hope you're not also a dreary old cynic?

    Dorian Gray: What is there to believe in?
