      Why does the tutor lose the baby after mixing the manuscript of the novel with the baby?

      I first watched the stage play "The Importance of Seriousness" on 9.2, and felt that it was not enough to reflect the talent of the original author Wilde. After searching, I found that there were three versions of movies in 1986, 1992, and 2002. It can be seen that this script is very popular. Repeatedly remakes. The 2002 version was starring Colin Firth, the representative of the British gentleman, and I was able to read this version in 9.7. Movies can present scenes that are much richer and...

      Great love in Britain at that time

      The first time I watched this movie was in a certain class of the sophomore year, and I was very impressed at that time.

      So, the night before yesterday, I enjoyed it again. Although there were no subtitles, I still watched it with gusto.

      I still remember that I bought Oscar Wilde's script and looked back. I like some humorous plots and equally interesting lines.

      When I watched it again, I found that one of the leading actors was Colin Firth. He liked this man very...

      Without the superfluous changes, it would have been a perfect adaptation.

      Because I once performed this drama in college, I read, acted, and watched it over and over again for at least a few months. I was so familiar with the original, so when I watched the movie, I was particularly sensitive to any deviation from the original, and I felt like a knuckle in my throat. Don't vomit. Ordinary people may think that I am picky...but I really feel that some changes seem to be details, but the actual impact is great. The whole concept of the work has been changed. It is...

      Victorian women's clothing is so beautiful

      Because I’m a fan of Collinfels, I’ve always wanted to watch this movie. I searched for it for a long time, but I found the resource yesterday~ Hurry up and watch it in Baidu Cloud. Maybe you can just search for Wilde’s wildness and find it soon~~

      Uncle Lian's face is still so handsome and intoxicating, and those eyes are almost drowning in it, but he doesn't understand why Uncle Lian has made so many bad movies. When I was studying, I watched a lot...

      Film or Play


      This is not an easy job to change drama to movie, particularly; The Importance of Being Earnest is Oscar Wilde's favorite comedy. So the director and playwright doing a great job to make the movie not only an effective modern film but also respect Oscar Wilde's original idea.
      The movie adds more details to make the story lively. For instance, Both Jack and Algy play a wonderful song in the movie, I don't really know the name of song, but it sounds great. It make movie good to hear or...

    Evaluation action

    The film is very interesting, but it is only slightly over-produced. A lot of the cold humor of the writer Wilde is lost in the scene. Rupert Everett's role is not as good as Anthony Asquith's 1952 film version, and the effect is also Less than half of the latter. Film critic Pauline Kyle once called Wilde's play "the most absurd work of art ever", an intricate comedy maze. The film tells the story of two gentlemen friends from Belle...
