Not enough reason is always hard to bear

Life has always been difficult, but as a Yangou, his features are mediocre. I once chased "Soulbroken Venice" for the world's most beautiful teenager, but now I can't forget it because of a screenshot, and finally I have the resources to feast my eyes.

The reason why people are so obsessed with beauty may be that it is so short-lived and so unobtainable, like a reflection in the water, seduce people to lose their senses, lose their sense of proportion, and finally be empty. And the film adaptation of Wilde is even more philosophical.

Of course, as a woman in science and engineering, Wilde currently only has a few golden sentences and a movie "Wilde" on the Internet, so I can't compare and analyze the original work, so I can only have some superficial impressions.

Dorian Gray in the movie is handsome but has a masculine temperament, and lacks the charm of upending all beings; and Uncle Colin Ying Lunfan also lacks the evil of seductive crime, plus the setting of the plot, let the three complex relationship Men are missing too much chemistry, and here Wilde's core is missing half.

Dorian Gray came from a privileged background. After his grandfather died, he returned to London to inherit a large inheritance. He was drawn into the upper-class social circle by painters and gentlemen, and traded with his own portraits to obtain the beauty that never grows old. Wilde uses a dark adult fairy tale to show us the filth and nothingness behind eternity, time passes, people around get old, and he can only use lies to maintain his aging and decaying soul.

It's a pity that an old British-style dark story is presented here in the form of American disgusting and exaggerated horror, as if everyone is talking about the great writer, and all that comes out of his mouth are those wonderful sentences. . It doesn't make much sense to complain about the director, because that's how we look at Wilde.

    Heavy-duty Dorian Gray, and Ben Chaplin, why are you so thin in this film? Rachel, I am amazed by you.

    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
