Dorian Gray, an innocent

After watching the movie "Dorian Gray", the theme still ends with evil. Dowling was finally locked in the attic by horry and burned with the portrait more than 20 years ago. When Dowling stabbed his sword at the portrait, it was himself who suffered. At that moment, the portrait and Dowling overlapped. Twenty-five years have come and at that moment the ugliness has come. When Horry's daughter Emily was about to rescue Dorian from the attic, he gave up. Dorian, who watched his ugly soul slowly decay, had lived enough, he was going to be free, he had been tortured long enough, and back in London he was haunted by sin and fear. Dorian Gray is an innocent man, lost and seduced in a prosperous and promiscuous age. He was a devil created by horry himself, and Dorian Gray was an innocent at best. Youth is passion and flame. Dorian kills his friend and painter basil and leaves London. He wrote to horry like this: I am a burning flame myself. The flame was the flame of sin, burning the moldy, maggoted soul of Dorian Gray. At the beginning, he gave his soul to the devil in order to stay young and handsome forever. For beauty, many people can't resist, beautiful things are not necessarily alluring, but alluring things must be beautiful. Dorian's extreme love for his own beauty was the beginning of his betrayal of his soul and the beginning of his life's sins. And I never felt disgusted with Dorian Gray from beginning to end. It's not that I like sin, it's that Dorian Gray is bewitched by lust and envy, and he likes the feeling of being surrounded by stars. This is understandable for a young man. Otherwise, there would not be many people who have pursued the art of immortality since ancient times. It was only when Dorian Gray first entered society that he came into contact with horry. Such a person with the nature of stimulating evil. However, horry started out as a hedonist, and he ended up returning to the family too. But Dowling's first simple and about-to-marriage relationship was destroyed by him, along with a beautiful woman and an unborn child. But what right do we have to complain about Horry's temptation. At worst, Horry only induced Dorian, and the right to choose is always in Dorian's hands. A soul that is getting lower and lower is rotten and festering among the sensual dogs and horses, and I think it should be two, the souls of Dorian and horry. The dramatic thing is that Dorian came to London again and fell in love with Horry's daughter Emily, which is ironic for Horry. If Dorian opens his mouth to tell Emily about his sinful life, then the result will be different, maybe they will fly away, which is an ending I imagine. Also, when Emily rushed to the attic to find Dorian, Dorian and Horry were both killed, but this is not the end of the movie. Things are never very good or bad, just relative stories, a kind of ambiguity and indistinctness. After all, this kind of sin can't be attributed to horry, horry just told the truth, the truth in a sense. Can be magnified infinitely in Dowling's behavior, and his sins can be attributed to betrayal of souls. So what about people in reality, people who are alive, are they selling their souls or ignoring them? There is no such thing as moral or immoral existence, but there is meaning or no meaning in existence. Just as the opening scene of the movie comes from what the original author Oscar Wilde said: There is no moral or immoral in the book, only if it is written well or badly, that's all. Those who think that beautiful works only mean beauty are the elite of the elite. 2014/06/13
