Wilde's talent made him indulge in aristocratic society. Douglas loved his talent, and he loved Douglas's youthful beauty. The love between them is all that Hellenistic. Let’s omit a few thousand words here about what Greek cultural values look like. . .
About this well-known playwright, his fame at the time was equivalent to a first-line male star, and his new play was about to be released, and the next thing was how his fame was ruined: When he found out about the relationship between his son Douglas and Wilde, he was infuriated. Douglas' father, his father was the Grand Marquis of Scotland. He is a very bad person. He was against his son's relationship with Douglas, and he was mocked because he was short and called him a mean dwarf, but notice, this was not what Wilde said, it was Douglas's angry words against his father. The film also shows Wilde's tolerance for Douglas's father's abuse. This is more impressive.
Douglas's father denounced Wilde. Wilde's speech in court is a classic. . But for the judge, for the law, this is too blunt. What is the use? Instead, it was in the plaintiff's arms, and the people who appeared in court were Wilde's former male favorites. The cook in the cafeteria, the little white face who sells the newspaper. They were actually forced to appear in court to prove Wilde's sodomy charge. In this way, under the aggressiveness of the lawyer, Wilde was finally sentenced to the crime.
My fame was ruined by imprisonment. For Wilde, it was even more tragic: after he was in prison, Douglas did not give him care and help. Wilde's body was finished, and his spirit was tortured again. It may be that Douglas is too young and ignorant, or that he is threatened by the world, or that he loves him too lightly than he loves him. . . . (xxx is as light as a feather...xxxx is heavier than Tarzan)
Douglas' response to Wilde was actually a total blow. . Although Wilde still missed Douglas in prison, he couldn't extricate himself.
After being released from prison, Wilde died soon after, and his letters, love letters to Douglas in prison, were ruthlessly pirated. He gave up his wife and son, indulged in Plato's love, utopia, not only ruined his career, but his heart was also killed by his own love. I think this is the tragedy of Wilde's big star.
