the libertine

This film is not about our time and our story.
Earl of Rochester, London in the 17th century.

Not the ripper, not the barber, this time he became a royal nobleman.
Earl of Rochester is also the poet John Wilmot.
Unruly by nature, arrogant.
Another talent who was born in the wrong era.

At first he held the wine and talked with you.
The content is enough to make a gentleman angry, and a lady blushes.
The last sentence "I don't want you, to like me." expresses his attitude.
Isn't it, from mother to wife, from the king to the friends who have fun together, from the prostitute who hangs out with him in the theater to the lizzie.
No one likes him.
He didn't get what he wanted from them.

He is a fool.
When I painted family portraits, I obviously hated that way, but I couldn't say it straight. I vented the fire on my wife, and I didn't say something straight and unhappy. Have you forgotten how you are together?

He laughed every time he saw his own definition of worldly irritability. King, mother, wife. . . It's not evil, but it has a naive taste.
But in fact, if you step on them severely, you will also be injured.
John never realized it.
His life, apart from hurting others, is hurting himself.

He even said somewhat proudly, Your Majesty, you have violated my stage.
Don't want the king to respond, you also violated me.

In fact, he has never been able to say exactly what he wants.
He doesn't know this, so he has been struggling. He is not only fighting against the world, but also against himself.

He finally found lizzie and told her that he couldn't feel alive.
Chanting poems, drinking wine, and having fun. The life that many people desire, the life that many people pursue. He said that he couldn't feel anything and only hoped that a play would move him.
He just wanted to be moved.

Lizzie saw him through, but he could no longer show his truest side. Not to mention what he wants.
In fact, John may not love lizzie barry.
This is just a coincidence.
The theater he loves is equally unruly.
It wasn't the Earl of Rochester we saw when they first met, did it?
Lizzie calmed him down and let him forget his anger.
He loves that tranquility.

Looking at Johnny's eyes, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the noble poet.
He has been drunk and lost for years. After finding the light of life, he was abandoned.

He lies in the arms of homosexuality, and he has always thought that he deserves to be abandoning himself in life.
He couldn't overcome his pain in this kind of life. He knew he didn't want such a life himself.

But he didn't know that he actually loved life more than he thought.
He lived so wildly and painfully that in the end he didn't know how to live anymore.

And when people thought he could no longer live, he found a way to live again.

All that can be said, Johnny always disappoints the world. He hasn't lived according to other people's ideas all his life.
It's just that he forgot. In fact, some people want him to live well.

We saw his tears for the first time, and he shed tears in his wife's arms.
He left no regrets in the end.

After the end of the play, he again appeared in the darkness with a wine glass, echoing the beginning.
You are overwhelmed with grief.

He no longer uses obscene words to make people frown.
In fact, in the process of this play, you already knew that he has always been so religious.
You know that even if he was cursed to hell by countless people, in the end, he was still with the angels.

He laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly.
He still asked about the longing he had not been able to express in his entire life.

Do you like me now?
Do you like me now?
Do you like me now?
Do you,like me......now.....

If underneath death's cold wing
His restless soul should fly
Beyond the grasp of fools

Meet with at the Bliss They T'would deny
(So) Stand for HIM
Kneel for HIM
of As of He Lies Low kneaded in Clay

Pary HIM the WHO prayed for a LATE TOO
that of He Might Shine ON Judgment Day

Christe Eleison
O Domine Deus
Dona Nobis Pacem

PS:
or that let People love Depp.
So far, I have to admire this person.

That's not Depp.
That is The Earl of Rochester.
That is John Wilmot.

    Billy Downs: Eighteen, my lord.

    Rochester: Young man, you will die of this company. Do not laugh, I'm serious.

    Billy Downs: Which is?
