Although some things are short-lived, they can be precious.

The story takes place in London in the Middle Ages, and people are enjoying the life brought by the Industrial Revolution. The

material life is rich and even flooded. People are not only pursuing material things. Rising to the spiritual level.

The protagonist Dorian Gray inherited his grandfather's legacy and came to London.

In the upper class society, dances, ladies, and famous wines were all things that Dorian did not have in his previous life.

However, he did not yearn for these at first. .

Until Harry appeared. He taught him how to indulge his desires. How to release the demons in his heart. Whores . Clubs

. Cigarettes. Opium. A blank sheet of Dorian, perfectly guided by Harry's reasons for the fall. Also gradually blacked out. The painter Basil created the magic painting, which gave Dorian the appearance of never getting old. But the magic painting is A portrait of Dorian's soul. The face of Dorian in the painting is pale and handsome, but it is decaying day by day. Sybil Wen is the woman Dowling really loved, but he was also the one who pushed Sybil to death Dorian cried when he learned of Sybil's death . Dorian's conscience was still there at this time. His pure heart was not completely gone. However, with Harry's further guidance, Dorian had been demonized, and he put himself The soul of Dorian was handed over to Satan, and Dorian's inner demon had completely eroded him. No emotion, never sincere. Just pursuing the pleasures of this world. Harry expanded his desires infinitely. Dorian's depravity was even beyond Harry's control. It was beyond his imagination. However, Dorian hid everything in that small room in the attic. The long life of walking dead made Dorian tired. Tired. Going back to the town again. Facing The face is still the twenty-year-old Dorian. The people at the banquet are all surprised.



























At the banquet Dorian met Harry's daughter Emily.

I think Emily was a ray of sunshine into Dorian's dark ravine.

It was a lifeline for him to redeem his soul.

During the conversation, Dorian said Out of the deepest part of his heart.

"Some things are short, but they can be precious." Dorian was always in love with Sybil.



But no matter how hard he tried, Dorian could not wipe the past away.

The devil's The words echoed in Dorian's ears all the time

, "I am the life you preached all the time but dared not take a step."

Dorian revealed Harry's true intention.

Until the end of the film, Dorian was trapped in the small attic.

Amy Li could have saved him, but until the end, Dorian didn't give Emily the key that could save him.

He still couldn't let Emily enter his world. It should be that Dorian wanted to keep himself in his dark side. So, Dorian

took up the sword and stabbed himself in the painting. He ended the magic painting - he gave himself a paragraph.

Dorian can finally redeem himself, the only way is to die



At the end of the ending, I think it's a suspense. Dorian's painting didn't burn.

It changed back to the old Dorian, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Maybe it was a hint that Dorian was not dead, but redeemed Oneself.

Or a higher-level spiritual suggestion, telling people that the depravity of the soul is never-ending.
