I didn't expect it to be a thriller... Of course, it would be a pity if this theme does not take the thriller route but the literary route. London in 1888 was too good for a drunken homicide.
How does Ben Barnes look? It's very close to my aesthetic, but it's a little bit off. Maybe it's because he has a strong taste in the Chronicles of Narnia, and it always gives me a kind of still watching fairy tales. It's an illusion, and it's almost meaningless from London in 1888.
This character reminds me of Charles of Eugenie Grande in Taichung. Balzac wrote that Eugenie saw him fall asleep with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her heart surged with infinite love, but she did not know about Charles. Influenced by the Parisian atmosphere and the training of the elders, he has been used to calculating since he was a child. Although he has an innocent and childlike face, he has long been a sophisticated old man in his heart.
Dorian Gray started out as an innocent country boy, then a drunken London master, and came back years later as an old man with a childish and innocent face but a sophistication in his heart. It's a pity that Ben Barnes's acting skills failed to interpret these subtle changes. When he first entered the city of London, his ignorance and innocence were worse. When he was seduced by Henry, the fragile and fragile youth was also worse. When he showed murderous intent, he was still worse. It's a bit...but when Emily confessed, Gray showed a terrified look, which is worth pondering. But I don't understand why Emily and Gray fell in love, and really love, this adaptation is inexplicable.
Wilde: Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps, so it should be the ambiguity between these three men Well, quite narcissistic, old man. In The Prison Chronicles, Wilde scolded Posey for being superficial and enjoying pleasure, and he was not worthy of his peerless talent, but he was unable to extricate himself from Posey. Percy is Dorian, Wilde is Basil, Percy's dad thinks Wilde is Henry, everything is right, Bosie is what he would like to be...
Ah, when Dorian pulled Basil up and kissed his tongue, Pharaoh probably wished he could kiss his soul like this.
