Oscar Wilde (Oscar Wilde) and Booth (Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas)'s love relationship began with physical entanglement, chaotic spiritual indulgence, and soul entanglement eventually evolved into the love song of the century. A young and beautiful man seduced an older talented playwright. Wilde thought he was simply enjoying his youth, but he was unconsciously heading towards the abyss of love and the trap of fate. Wilde is addicted to Booth's existence, even if the other man is happy with other men in front of him, he is willing to comfort himself, and there is a deeper Platonic spiritual love between the two. But this love is so humble that Booth accepts it as a matter of course and wastes Wilde's inextricable affection. The older man teaches and takes care of the younger man, and the younger man is in charge of the relationship.
Wilde was very satisfied with his wife, because she was a quiet audience, and he was full of guilt and sincere apology to his wife after his imprisonment. Wilde loved his wife like a family, but there was no element of love. Wilde regarded his feelings for men as natural, and naturally, after the first night of joy, Wilde felt the release of his nature, without any pain and entanglement, and embarked on the gay love that was considered taboo at the time. the way. Fighting a lawsuit at the risk of exposure, refusing to flee when destined to be arrested, can be said to be folly, but cannot be reproached for his courage, a proud and talented playwright who finds it hard to accept servility to the ignorance of the masses, a belief in the way of nature The sincerity of freedom makes him resolutely challenge and defy the unjust rules of the existing society, and the naivety of intellectuals makes him ignorant of danger and fearless. After suffering from disgrace and imprisonment, Wilde is still calm about his sexuality, "No matter what our nature is, we must follow suit, otherwise, our lives will be full of lies." Wilde's personality is like his "Garden of Giants". ——Sincere and brilliant, longing for beauty, loving life.
In the beginning, Wilde only lingered in the youthful body of young men, family, career, lover, everything was under control. The appearance of Booth completely disrupted Wilde's life, his wife and children were forgotten, his career was delayed, and his lover became a male prostitute. Ironically, Wilde accused Booth's father of "abusing his wife and apathetic children" for causing Booth's character tragedy, but after falling in love with Booth, Wilde himself became the one who abandoned his wife and children. Booth's madness, neuroticism, lewdness, and absurdity could not prevent Wilde's fall. Wilde clearly knew that Booth did not love himself, but he continued to comfort himself that Booth was a poor child whose family had destroyed him. This comfort continued to inspire Wilde's love and protection for Booth. After being scolded and abandoned by Booth for the first time when he was sick, Wilde promised his friend, "I love him, but I won't get back with him, I can't." But after learning of Booth's death, Wilde immediately ran to comfort him Poor boy Booth. In prison, Wilde told his wife, "I will kill Booth, I love him but I can't see him again." After being released from prison, he ran to peep at Booth.
Booth is conceited, shallow, selfish, arrogant, ruthless, ruthless, and pretentious, completely inheriting the father he hates. "The father's oppression and the mother's doting make him ashamed of his lover, and when he can't stand it, he becomes his father." Si is so beautiful, so enchanting, so bright. Does Booth love Wilde? The answer should be that there has been passion, admiration, dependence, and debt, but never love. Because Booth can't love, he can't understand love, and he can't express it. He only cares about having fun, insulting Wilde when Wilde is sick, taking Wilde to find male prostitutes, having sex with other men in Wilde's face, instigating Wilde's lawsuit just to get revenge on his father, and completely ignoring Wilde's reputation. He "loved" Wilde just because of Wilde's never-ending tolerance and protection, like a child, constantly asking for it from his "father".
In the relationship between the two, Wilde was the hard-working "father" and Booth was the heartless "unworthy son". Even though Booth still greeted Wilde after being released from prison with a smile, three months later, the two could only break up bleakly.
It's not just Wilde and Booth that is bleak. Robbie, who seduced Wilde for the first time, can only be silently guarding and loving, and the brutal and domineering old Douglas seems to be the representative of "homophobia is a closet", and a dignified and gentle wife has to Away from homeland, incognito. The good life seems to exist only in Wilde's fairy tales.
