I spent a whole afternoon watching this film, maybe it was just this afternoon that it was so quiet that I could hear the female cat downstairs calling for her cubs, or maybe it was the smell of coffee wafting from the balcony next door, which made me mistakenly think that I was in a quilt. In the stagnant time, I clicked on this video. I believe that many of us have read Wilde's fairy tales. I still remember that when I was in elementary school, I shed tears over the death of the Happy Prince and the Swallow in the book in front of the bed; The truth that tells us this story is that one needs to learn to share in order to be blessed by God. After a lapse of many years, I watched this drama, and it was difficult for me to calm down. Maybe it’s because the age is not enough, the children’s eyes see only pure fairy tales, they can’t see the pain and struggle of the author’s inner world behind the stories (please forgive me for my short-sighted understanding of this emotion as pain) . As Percy said when he saw Oscar backstage in the play: "The audience can't guess if those jokes are your intentions, you shock them, especially your speeches, but the more frivolous you act, the more you mean Seriously, isn't it?" From the fleeting pause in Oscar's eyes, Percy had managed to capture Oscar's soul and not just his gaze. Percy's neurotic, proud, selfish, intelligent, unpredictable, restless pattern. . All of this nature is a source of appreciation, peculiarity and inspiration for an artist, especially an aestheticist writer. The most fatal thing is that Percy's beauty and his youth all attract Oscar. It's like a black hole that knows it's doomed but wants to find out. While viewing the portrait at the gallery, John asked Oscar "If we could look forever young and pure.." Oscar replied: "Do you think we would like that?" John said, "If our souls were uglier, yes. "I think that's part of the reason why Oscar wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray later. He let the beauty of the face and the ugliness of the soul so nakedly displayed in front of the readers. Oscar chose to join Catholicism after he was released from prison. The author is not sure whether it was because he wanted to be redeemed or to repent to the Lord, but he wrote his best vision and deepest warning in "Portrait".
Everyone should have noticed that the fairy tale "The Selfish Giant", which runs through the entire film, is constantly changing between the narration form and the author's own dictation to the children. The author's life path. At the beginning, Robbie asked Oscar if he loved him in bed. Oscar said that he felt like a city that had been under siege for 20 years. Suddenly the gate was slammed open, and the citizens rushed out to breathe the air and take a walk in the field. Wildflower, he felt himself, relieved. Robbie asked Oscar if he wasn't worried about his wife? Oscar didn't answer. The narrator begins to slowly tell "The Selfish Giant", and the story at this moment is progressing to the point where the child discovers the giant's garden. Robbie was 17 at the time, Oscar was 32, and Robbie was the first child to enter the giant's garden. But he wasn't the kid who changed the giant the most, Douglas showed up. He is the prettiest of the children, but he is silent and not like the rambunctious bear child. He is standing in a corner still covered with snow and crying because he can't climb a tree. He is so pure, slender and thin but It makes people unable to take their eyes off. Percy tells Oscar that he loves him so much that their love is purest and unsullied by the world. Oscar dotes on Percy and wants to give him the best of himself. He agrees to any crazy request from Percy, abandons his wife and children for him, just to catch up with Percy and leave the boy in his garden. . Percy told the waiter in the restaurant that he was going to sit in the middle of the crowd and that he was going to let everyone know he was Oscar's boy. But the irony is that it wasn't until the end, when Oscar was jailed for sodomy, that people taunted and said, look, that's Oscar's boy. When the film arrives here, it is heart-wrenching to watch the parts and pieces together. The giant hugs the child to the tree, the tree melts the snow and ice, and blooms gorgeous flowers. The child kissed the giant and opened his heart that had been frozen for many years, so the giant decided to tear down the brick wall and embrace spring. Percy's arrogance is growing day by day. He hates Oscar when he is sick. He feels that there is no difference between him and ordinary people who do not create and have fun. He smashes Oscar's water glass and slams the door. Although Oscar has repeatedly decided not to go to Percy, he is like a poppy, gorgeous and addicted. Oscar thought that Percy must have been influenced by his tyrannical father to be frozen in the corner and away from the crowd, and he approached Percy again in distress. He blocked Percy's reputation and glory, and stood in the dock. He blocked Percy behind and faced the Victorian era full of middle class alone. Indeed, there is no sex between him and Percy, only platonic love. But the more pure and beautiful things are, the easier they are to be broken. This feeling can only be stored in Inside the white ivory tower, it cannot understand and accept in this century. Catholics believe that they will suffer the karmic fire of hell and will never be able to recover. In the end, the giant selflessly shared his garden with the children, the giant got old, he saw his favorite little boy again - God, he was covered with white flowers and died peacefully. Oscar defended the children of the same age as Posey in the trial court. Although their status is different, they also have the right to choose to be loved, regardless of gender and age. He was also convicted of sodomy in prison for his avant-garde detachment. From beginning to end, he did not let Percy show up. After being released from prison, Percy and Oscar moved to Italy, but they broke up after three months, because Oscar no longer had fame and fortune, was old, and was plagued with illnesses. I don't know if Percy really loves Oscar or just the glow. But I think Oscar thinks that Percy is the purest in the world even when he is dying. He was kissed by this child. Even when he was dying, he was always smiling. He was covered in white flowers and passed away peacefully. Entangled in this lifetime. Let us understand that there is a kind of love, called, "the love that dare not speak its name."
The story only ends when Oscar goes to look for Percy after he is released from prison, and they embrace each other. I have to say that the last long shot was so long that it was breath-taking. Oscar stood far away under the shadowy city wall, looking at Percy, who was bathed in sunlight. He looked at the figure who had been drawn countless times in prison, and his golden hair was so bright that the sunlight lost its color. He was so scared that he held his breath, like a moth to a flame, he didn't dare to approach, but just watched from a distance, greedily watching. At this time, the narrator slowly released Oscar's monologue, "Life deceives us with shadows, we pray for happiness, but what it gives us is pain and disappointment. We found ourselves with a dark and cold heart, looking at that ray of light The golden hair, we worshipped so madly and kissed passionately..." At this time, Percy felt something, turned around, and was surprised to find Oscar standing at the bottom of the city gate. He took off his hat and paid tribute to himself. . Percy smiled. This smile was like the first ray of warm spring breeze, blowing into Oscar's frozen heart, and then a cry of joy, like the key to open Oscar's blood pump, and then the blood boiled all over his body, no longer a walking dead. . Oscar had never felt his name so pleasant. When I thought that Oscar should be happy, but in the narration, he said slowly: "There are only two kinds of tragedies in this world, one is not getting what you want, and the other is getting it." , endless pity came up, this indifferent self-mockery, even more sad than crying and grabbing the ground, a kind of sadness with mixed flavors. The screen went black, and there was a message that Oscar and Posey had broken up after three months, and the time of Oscar, Robbie, and Posey's deaths. The message that could have been swept away suddenly stopped when I saw the time of Robbie's death and his request to be buried with Oscar. It turns out that I have been forgetting this little boy who was the first to walk into the heart of the giant.
I don't know if every fairy tale written by Oscar is foreshadowing something, maybe the author thinks too much, but his eloquent stories often end in tragedy, which makes people think of "behind the gorgeous robes". full of lice". The sudden thought made me think whether I had insight into something, so I re-examined the man who I always thought existed as a supporting role-----Robbie. He was the one who brought Oscar into the same-sex world. He made Oscar realize that the soul can exist in another form. Robbie loves Oscar so much, he finishes for Oscar, argues for Oscar, even if Oscar is convicted of sodomy and imprisoned by the harsh British criminal law, he still loves Oscar and never gives up. When Oscar was taken out of the courtroom by the police officer, people in the aisle cursed and even spat at him. Only Robbie, standing in the middle of the crowd, stood so solemnly, and took off his hat to Oscar. At the end of the film, Robbie and Oscar meet, and Posey is still so flamboyantly declaring his status in Oscar's heart. And Robbie just took the glass indifferently and said to Percy that Oscar doesn't just care about you alone (in Oscar's chaotic and difficult days, Robbie met his wife and children on his behalf, arranged the next step in the right direction, from beginning to end. West was not involved), Percy took this persuasion as jealousy, still showing off without reservation, he said to Robbie: "Oscar loved me and still loves me, and you (Robbie) are nothing but him. Just one of many boys." And constantly complained that his life was also ruined by Oscar, Robbie didn't say a word from beginning to end, he just quietly drank wine and smoked cigarettes and watched the sunset. But through the screen, he could feel his powerlessness, his pain, and his helplessness. He had also experienced a lot. He was so humble that he loved Oscar, but he had no one to say, and he took it all alone. Oscar is out of prison, and he and Robbie say he's got nothing while drinking on the street corner, and he's going to see Percy because Percy loves him more than anything. Robbie's eyes flickered, and he wanted to tell him that he was always there, but Oscar was immersed in his fantasy with Percy's future and didn't look up to see the love overflowing in Robbie's eyes. Robbie raised his hand to the jug and said to Oscar I think we should have more wine. . .
