      Oscar Wilde

      Before I had time to read the original, Rupert Everett is said to have played Wilde. The initial understanding will also surprise Everett and Wilde's extremely similar experience.

      In the age of secrets, it is very possible for people to know their operating principles but resolutely tell their own secrets.

      Saying that Wilde is "Will Tai Chi come", of course, whether it is a novel or a movie, it gave Everett a good ending. I think this should also be Wilde's current expectations...

      If you have read the original.

      I have watched the importance of being Earnest book and movie (52nd edition) before, and now
      I am watching an ideal husband. I have to say that Wilde is really a master, but this movie is disappointed. I watched the original first and then watched the movie. , It’s inevitable to compare the movie with the original work. Rupert Everett really played lord goring. When I read the book, I never thought he would be so romantic and loyal. But other places are a little unsatisfactory.

      Ideal love

      A film about love and marriage of comedy.
      Very nice.
      Not only just among distinctive personalities, acting in place.
      Also, the picture is quite enlightened people with visual pleasure.
      In addition, the character of clothing is also good.

      From Do not extravagantly seek perfection (ideal), but constantly seek perfection.
      Too idealistic for feelings, for people and things, is impractical.
      In this filthy real world, it is also not suitable for the times....

      well! New wine in old bottles again

      As early as the popularization stage of my film, I have seen the old version-the Russian version, because of this film I started to watch Wilde's works.

      The new version of Jiu Yang, because of the star-studded, are all actors that I like very much. But it may be too long, but disappointed. Kate was still very young at the time. She was one of my favorite actresses. At that time, she was still very young, dressed very old-fashioned, and she was not performing well. This is not the...

      Oscar Wilde

      Wilde was the second person who made me want to read his book all at once. The first one is Austen, not to mention, I was young and passionate about everything.
      When I watched An ideal husband, I read dozens of pages. It seems strange and strange, but the witty words are like beads, and they all make people nod and laugh.
      It's just that I can't find the original English version. The film dubbing translation was so bad that I gave up halfway through seeing it. There is no longer the...

      Aunt moore is more suitable to me than cate. It is actually an adaptation of Wilde's original work. No wonder I heard the phrase "loving urself" at the beginning. What is lifelong...

      Rupert Everett is a perfect fit for Wilde's character, and it's also great in a joke. Aunt Moore is so charming and...

    Movie quotes

    • Mabel: Lord Goring, I gather you're to be congratulated.

      Lord Arthur Goring: Well, there's nothing I like more than to be congratulated, though invariably I find the pleasure immeasurably increased when I know what for.

    • Gertrude: Oh, Arthur... what a good friend you are to him, to us.

      Lord Arthur Goring: Yes, but we're not out of danger yet. In fact, I believe there's a rather popular saying about frying pans and fires, except now it is you and I, dear Gertrude, who are to be roasted.

    • Lord Caversham: What are you doing here, sir? Wasting your time, as usual?

      Lord Arthur Goring: My dear father, when one pays a visit, it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time and not one's own.
