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

Quite funny. In addition, looking at it again may make the rest of the details more clear. Although I usually listen to it by myself, I still listen more thoroughly without subtitles. It is always easy to rely on words below.

Love Rupert and Colin of course, even Reese is cute, and others that I always liked. Though a little disappointed with Frances O'Connor. Liked her better in the Mansfield Park, not that was a great movie overall.
The Importance of Being Earnest quotes
-
Algy: But why does your aunt call you her uncle?
[Reading cigarette case]
Algy: "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." There is no objection, I admit, to an aunt being a small aunt, but why an aunt, no matter what her size may be, should call her own nephew her uncle, I can't quite make out.

[over the end credits, Algy and Jack rehearse their song to win back their girls]
Jack: I think your high notes may have damaged our chances, old boy. You do want them to come down, don't you?
Algy: Well, they're never going to come down while you're singing like that, you're completely out of tune.
Jack: How dare you.
Algy: I'll take this next bit.
Jack: You leave this one to me, you go and have a lie-down.
Algy: I'm doing it.
Jack: Move out of my way, I'm coming through.
Algy: Go easy, my dear fellow...
Jack: [singing] COME DO-O-O-O-WN, LADY COME DOWN...
Algy: Overdoing it, less is more.
