This is not his sorrow, but our common sorrow.

Wilde, a familiar and unfamiliar name. If the happy prince in the elementary school textbook is reluctantly counted as having read his works, the name seems to sound familiar, and this person I really do not know at all. So if it wasn't for the fact that someone was quite interested in this '97 reboot, I think I would have missed it with no regrets. After watching it, I think if I miss him, it will be really a pity for me who likes Jude Law.

Of course, for people more literate than me, at least they know that Wilde is the most famous gay in the literary world. It is said that when it comes to Wilde, everyone will smile and say, "Oh, that old gay. Know, know." I hope I will never encounter such a dizzy scene. Hopefully, the movie doesn't mistakenly hype "Wilde, the old gay" invisibly again and blur the focus.

The film basically tells the truth about Wilde's life after he became famous, interspersed with the plots of several of his major plays. But the focus is on him and his men. When I saw the beautiful pictures of men and men intimacy in the movie, I was actually quite surprised at the beginning, because I didn't do my homework well. Then, I couldn't help turning my head to look around, and there were a group of foreigners, bald old men and the like sitting around. I should be considered an outlier in the theater, wearing a baseball cap and eating kfc. Uncle Wang can finally be regarded as a young man on this occasion. However, I still have to sigh about Jude Law, his performance in this drama is impeccable. Beautiful, vain, wayward and superficially posy! It's this effect. Before the end of the film, Jude Law's smile when he saw Oscar, who was released from prison, definitely added more meaning to the character he played. At least after seeing this smile, I can understand why Oscar Wilde can be so indulgent and loving. Such a perfect looking child. I like Jude Law and find that the films he starred in are always my favorite.

I don't want this movie to be labeled as a gay movie, but when I think about it, if I recommend it to others, I still can't help but say that the gay scene is very hot. What a hopelessly vulgar fellow. hehe. In other words, this kind of explosion does not belong to the level of intuitive visual effects, and many details also make people have room for reverie. For example, Jude Law touches wilde's hand with slender fingers, jealousy between men and men, and even coquettish quarrels between women and men that are often seen in serials or movies, those expressions, those eyes .

If we take away the subjective appreciation of Wilde's talent, he should be a selfish big man, a man who loves himself more than his wife and his children. Otherwise, how could he have abandoned his family for so many years and let his children wait for so many years without listening to him finish talking about the "selfish giant"? And such a man is also a beautiful and emotionally pure person at the same time. He can tolerate the willfulness and vexatiousness of Jude Law. His love for Jude Law is compared to how pure and tolerant Jude Law's feelings are for him. In court, in the face of humiliating questions from others, his preference for being gay belongs to an un-natural emotion. He said a paragraph and confidently explained his relationship with Jude Law. He said that men and men, have not been un-natural since time immemorial. He believes that un-natural is only relative to the prejudice of a relatively conservative Victorian Britain. He believes that this is a noble Platonic spiritual love, and the sages of Greece, the birthplace of Western philosophy, have all been pulled out. Damn, my eloquence is really good. In the film, he also cited Michelangelo, Shakespeare and others as auxiliary evidence, not knowing whether the authenticity can be tested. The wisdom of old men and the youth, looks, and hope of young men, greek love doesn't really mean that, does it?

When it comes to Wilde's imprisoned imprisonment and the ensuing notoriety, it is because of Jude Law's love for Wilde. And Jude Law's understanding of love is obviously not on the same level as Wilde's. He gambled his love for Wilde with hatred of his father, which was a blasphemy against love. And, in the end he lost and I'm ashamed of him.

In the end, Wilde is not a great man who needs to be rewarded with great merits and virtues. He is just an ordinary person, selfish and talented. He loves men and his children, but he loves his wife but can't win in front of women. He used to be brilliant and lonely. In his life, and also in this autobiographical film, we can see the coexistence of many contradictions, and I think it is these coexisting contradictions that achieve the A comedic tragedy. He has written a lot of very successful plays. I have no culture and have not read them at all. However, I believe that such a life and such talent will definitely be able to express the humorous sense of humor of the tragic clown on stage. Because his experience is actually quite similar to this clown. The applause and flowers are just a moment, but what is remembered is just the reputation of an old gay. This is not his sorrow, but our common sorrow.
