If the face never gets old

The movie is real...a far cry from Wilde's original. . . It feels like Dorian Gray in the movie has suddenly fallen, and Lord Henry's step-by-step seduction to him has not been fully displayed, and the scum is a bit too simple, making Dorian superficial. It was with Sybil. In the movie, Dorian didn't want to get married after listening to Henry's words. He wanted to be more indulgent (?) and abandoned Sybil. In the original book, Dorian watched her performance and felt that there was no place to attract him. Sybill, who has no acting skills, is just a third-rate actress who is free of beauty There is a big gap between her and her. He is a scumbag, but the scumbag has a lot of depth.

In addition, the movie has also changed magically, from the casting to the plot. . This image of Dorian. . . It's not the blonde and blue eyes in the original book, and I don't feel pretty and charming, let alone reach the level in the book that apart from the women, even the other two male protagonists are fascinated by him. . . And Lord Henry! I think it can be younger. Henry was about 30 years old when he appeared, and Wilde seemed to pay attention to describing his hands as "slender". He should also be a unique and delicate person with agate eyes. . . The image is really different, Basil is better than them, but! but! ! Why is the inexplicable admiration and admiration between him and Dorian so directly displayed in the movie? I'm still waiting to hear the classic confession of the painter ("I want to be possessed by one person"). You ""It doesn't matter if you can't see the portrait, I will always have you to see"), but the two people are actually direct? direct? ? ! ! (Ahem, I admit that I was very excited when I saw that period, but not so much.. Really not, I really think the original text of Wilde's confession is more emotional), and he died too early Well, the more depravity of the intervening 18 years was simply ignored. . . Basil's body was dissolved in nitric acid, and it was changed to Dorian's dismemberment in the movie, so I don't see the scientist Campbell anymore. . . Dowling actually still wears Basil's bloody scarf. I didn't know for a while whether the silent adaptation of Dowling was too stupid compared to the original or should I be excited that my CP has sugar in the movie version. . . And the relationship between Henry and Basil has also been simplified. In the original book, there are some ambiguities between the three of them. Henry and the painter were friends from the beginning. They knew each other in college. His hand, and being able to speak to the painter in a gentle tone shows that the relationship between the two is not simple, and Dowling is the third person who appeared later. . (There is even the feeling that Henry deliberately seduced Dorian to disappoint Basil after he found out that Basil liked Dorian x) And how did Dorian end up with Henry's daughter in the end? ? As long as he and Henry are together, I won't be so speechless (? Are you drinking triangles) (not triangles, but if it's so magical, I'd rather he be with Henry), how can an Emily pop up out of thin air? Could it be that the screenwriter wanted to show that Henry was also punished and wanted Dorian to be redeemed? (Laughing and crying), Dorian Gray, who the original book may have wanted to show, finally just wanted to start over because of the accumulation of bad things, he didn't feel guilty for anyone, including the painter, including Campbell, including Sybil and her brother (My God movie The death of the younger brother in the picture is also a magic change, so change it all x), he just hates the appearance in the portrait

I understand that the original book has a slightly scary style, but it is really not to the extent that the portraits in the movie will grow maggots (help), move, and the people inside will pop out and make terrible screams (help!!). . .

Cough, because I'm a fan of the original book, I don't think this movie is very good. It seems that the gorgeousness of Wilde's words has not been shown through the movie, but the director and screenwriter probably want to make another Dorian Gray story. . . But I think it's a little vulgar. . .

Finally, I would like to say a few more words to Mr. Gray, the ultimate beauty in the book.

You are right, Henry and Basil made you the fallen you, maybe Basil's responsibility is greater, he is too obsessed with you, far more than Henry's pride in coaching you and influencing you, but you also It's wrong, you think Basil is just greedy for your beauty, but I'm afraid he is the only one who is willing to accompany you to pray for atonement after seeing through your soul.

Apart from your skin, you really have nothing to attract others, your whole being is rotten to the core. Oh, and finally your skin rotted too.
