Those who are favored are fearless

“In this world there are only two tragedies, one is getting what one wants, the other is getting.”

Stephen Fry Oscar Wilde

Jude Law Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas

Michael Sheen Robbie Ross

Like many famous writers, Oscar Wilde himself painted his life as a legend in the eyes of future generations. He is relentless in keeping with the world, always upholding his own unique style and attitude, which is reflected not only in his literary works, such as being a pioneer of decadent works, but also in his emotional life, such as his Those love-hate entanglements with little Earl Douglas (Bosie). His literary talent and charisma can be said to be the unique wealth bestowed by the muse. In the film's depiction, he attracted Bosie's attention with this shining literary charm, but it was also when Bosie entered Wilde. After the world, Wilde's literary glamour has a worldly color - no matter how successful and confident he is, in the face of love, he is just that lovely and pitiful nightingale.

Wilde's screenplays were not only highly sought after in the Victorian era, but his fairy tales, novels and even his quotations are still talked about over a thousand years later. Many of his plays such as Salomé, An Ideal Husband, Lady Windermere`s Fan, etc. were very popular at the time, and the theater was full of dramas. The work written by Wilde is simply a topic of its own. A first-line writer with both traffic. His uninhibited and knowledgeable insight into all kinds of life events that are both straightforward and beautiful, people can't help asking themselves in the process of reading whether they have ever had such an experience. He said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." For the general public or ordinary people, being talked about doesn't seem to be a good thing. But this reminds me of what Ning Jing said to the younger generation on a variety show, it is only by being talked about that a star can survive, which means that someone pays attention to you. Their evaluation is to supervise you. Of course, you also have to be clear about what you want to become. You can choose the appropriate one to change from these evaluations, and just listen to the others. However, whether it is an ordinary person or a celebrity, how many people can listen to other people's comments, and don't take it to heart; or can they carefully select suggestions for improvement? Mr. Wilde only gave an explanation of this problem, but did not provide a solution. It is true that "We teach people how to remember, we never teach them how to grow".

Selfishly, this drama is chased for Qiu Hua, because he is so good-looking, showing Bosie's seductive charm in every word and deed. With neatly combed blond hair, a slim-fitting tuxedo, a goblet in his hand, his charming but sharp eyes met the tall Wilde through the crowd. Without waiting for the introduction, he began to comment on Wilde's works in an appreciative tone. Qiu Hua in the play is already very good-looking, but after seeing the real photos of Bosie, I realize that he himself is too beautiful and attractive. Of course, it wouldn't attract Wilde if it was just his looks. After all, before Bosie appeared, Orlando played the role of a male prostitute. Just a smile on the corner of the street made our Wilde feel cramped. But Bosie's high-ranking coquetry and confession are the real stunts of beheading men. Coupled with the age gap between the two and the fact that he often learned from Bosie that he and his brother have been controlled and suppressed by their father all the year round, Wilde's feelings for Bosie have more of a platonic elder's sense of responsibility for the care and guidance of young people. . In Wilde's heart, he loves Bosie. He is not only the other's lover, but also a refuge and guardian. He has the responsibility to guard this charming English rose. Even if he was married, even if he wrote De Profundis in prison, even if he had promised his wife not to see this man again, he would still see him after he was released from prison. (Although your love with Bosie is beautiful, but Wilde you make your wife become a same wife I am also very angry that's all)

Bosie is always a maverick. When in need, he will cry about the misfortune of his family in Wilde's arms; when he needs to solve his sexual desire problem, he will take Wilde to the flower street to find a man; or when he needs to go out with him to play with Wilde, He didn't take care of the other person who was still sick in bed, and even scolded the other person for not loving him. Even though Bosie was always so self-centered, she always stepped on Wilde's pampering thoughts precisely when she acted like a spoiled child. In the restaurant, the two sat opposite each other. Bosie stretched out her right index finger and middle finger and pressed it on the back of Wilde's hand, leaning forward slightly with a begging tone of "please, stay with me" (I just ask, which sturdy guy can carry it? In the middle of the night, Bosie was lying on the sofa in a silk shirt and reading a book. Wilde came over in a nightgown. He wanted to just touch the top of the goblin's head, and then the goblin decisively guided Wilde's palm into his chest. Twice, he threw the book aside; or at the station, he noticed his sight after a long absence, looked back and smiled and called "Wilde" with his clear eyes and a bright smile. All of these make Wilde deeply believe that Bosie needs me. It is the accumulation of this little bit of sweetness that gradually swallows Oscar's sanity, making him instigated by Bosie to appear in court because of a lawsuit, without ever thinking about it. As soon as she appeared in court, her love affair with Bosie came to an end. In prison, Bosie never came to see Wilde, and after being released from prison, although the two were together, they broke up because of various ideas and class conflicts. In the end, the rose is still thankful, just like the once beautiful love. But what's interesting is that in addition to complaining about Bosie in "From the Deep", in the rest of his life, he never blamed the little goblin that he loved and hated.

Although the second half of Wilde's life was very difficult because of his imprisonment, Robbin, his former lover, never left, even when Wilde was deeply addicted to Douglas. This persistence and unrequited love lasted until after death. Robbin, who died in 1918, whose ashes were placed in Wilde's tomb in 1950, seemed to be there to confess his unfulfilled wishes. Sure enough, even if the Muse is not there, the darling of the times is still spoiled.

Whether it's Wilde, Bosie or Robbin, stripped of gender and class, it's just a poor man in love. Wilde's works and stories will not be out of date as long as human beings are still crazy about love.
