"My Soul Has Corrupted"
Paris 2022-03-22 09:02:11
I haven't read the original novel yet, but from the movie alone, the story is pretty good. A portrait becomes a mirror to show the soul, and the protagonist's words of willingness to deal with the devil betray his young and pure kindness. The protagonist is very young, frail and melancholy, aristocratic teenager, and his endless pursuit of desire is so real. In the movie, the bearded man who taught and guided the protagonist into the whirlpool of desire finally seemed to show his true face. Maybe I misunderstood, there is that painting in his back room at the end, it seems to be burnt, but it doesn't look like it. Maybe he later took the painting out of the fire, or maybe he was the devil himself. From the beginning of his malicious seduction to the sudden normalization of the Gu family, it seemed so strange. In short, our protagonist was still toyed with in the end. What he said to the pastor in the church confessional was so exciting to me, "I can see my soul, my soul has rotted", which shocked the pastor for a while. I have to say that if the protagonist wandered around with paintings and money and never returned to the original place, he might still be alive now. It is a pity that the director always has to let the individual die so that he can feel at ease and show God that the belief that evil must be defeated is eternal in his heart.

For Oscar’s sake, four stars, those witty words=v=Ah, Colin is really not suitable for acting as a glib Henry. His expression is a bit dull, and his eyes are a little dull, and he needs to have aura + evil in his eyes, such as Daniel Dai Lewis~ Case Prince Bing is not bad, but Dorian in my heart is always JudeLaw (non-hair loss version) in general with a frightening style. The last sentence: Radiant in love=w=

No one can resist the charm of Dowling. Such a life is too worthwhile. Cecilia is nothing but a silly brain. . Emily is just a flamboyant girl who sees Dao Lin Jiao's good looks. Henry is a typical businessman who has money and nowhere to spread it. Basil is a pseudo-artist who is no longer aloof. Cecilia's brother is the most tragic character in the film. As for Dowling's ending and experience, there is really no complaint.

Lord Henry Wotton: What are you?
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.
