Although the concept of Beauty is above all is very problematic, no one can deny that Oscar Wilde’s writing is beautiful. Therefore, his literary attainments, especially in drama, or to be precise in comedy. It's quite remarkable. Although the movie The Importance og Being Earnest looks like a superficial farce, its absurdity itself can explain the problem. Behind the plot arrangements of too good to be true are pungent ridicules. The superficial love between men and women, for those ladies who love to dream...I haven’t read the original work, I don’t know how to evaluate this work correctly, but if you look at it here: http://www.dbmov.com/People /893017/Filmography/ , you can know how classic Wilde's works are. Otherwise, why are so many film directors so popular and vying for adaptation. This The importance of being earnest is said to have been adapted in 1952, I don’t know if it looks good. But I really like the new version of these two British gentlemen, as I said in my previous blog. The Lady Come Down they sang together was very nice, and the two actors were really talented. One played the piano and the other talked about the guitar. They sang the song in a playful tone. I originally planned to record it myself, but I found it on Google: http://www.jumbojimbo.com/lyrics.php?songid=4877

It should be better translated as a joke, I think this film is a bit silly, and the heroine plays like an idiot, but I think this is the British-style comedy effect.

Witherspoon's face disgusted her no matter what. . . The original good script was ruined like this, the filming was very indifferent and impetuous
The Importance of Being Earnest quotes

[Jack tells Lady Bracknell his address in London]
Lady Bracknell: The unfashionable side. I thought there was something.
[she reaches for the bell, but reconsiders and pulls back]
Lady Bracknell: However, that could easily be altered.
Jack: Do you mean the fashion, or the side?
Lady Bracknell: Well, both, if necessary, I presume!

Algy: Bunbury? He was quite *exploded*.
Lady Bracknell: Exploded?
Algy: [pretending sadness] Mm.
Lady Bracknell: Was he the victim of some revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation.
Algy: My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was *found out*. The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live - that is what I mean - so Bunbury died.
Lady Bracknell: He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians.
