Wilde is a representative of aestheticism. No matter how he dresses, treats people, writes books or lectures, and everything else, he always practices his own aestheticism. He was afraid of ugly things, and Wilde had seen Verlaine, the French poet mentioned in the first of this series, disgusted by his ugliness. The following paragraph of Wilde's "wise words" can not only express his aesthetic supremacy principle, but also reveal his disdainful demeanor: "A kindness is not as good as appearance, but a kindness is worse than ugly."
In 1891, Wilde, then 37, met Douglas, 21. This charming son of the marquis changed Wilde's life. Douglas nicknamed Posey, in the inscription of Wilde's letter to Posey, full of words such as "love you forever", "miss you every day", "only belong to you", he was full of enthusiasm and without scruples. Pour out your compliments and love. Written in his brilliant and enthusiastic writing, Percy seems to be a celestial creature. "I love you, I love you, my heart is a rose, it is your love that makes her open; my life is a desert, blown by your sweet breath, its cool spring is your pair Beautiful eyes; wherever your little feet go, I step out of the shady valley, and the fragrance of your hair is like unshakeable, and wherever you go, the fragrance of cinnamon." Both People who pursue pleasure are really sensual and sensual, and they are a perfect match. Percy's father, the Marquis of Queensbury, heard of the relationship between the two, so he sternly demanded that the two cut off contact. Percy has always had a bad relationship with his father, and he took this as an opportunity to retaliate and fight back head-on. Caught between a vulgar father and a selfish son, Wilde fell further and further and fell victim to the struggle. "He searched for me from restaurant to restaurant in order to humiliate me in front of the whole world. He was aggressive, and he had the attitude of destroying me if I fought back, or even if I didn't." Under the persuasion of West, Wilde sued the Marquis to the court, but the situation was reversed, and the redemption was irreversible, and it was Wilde who spoke eloquently in court. Comparing Wilde's love letter to Percy two years earlier, and reading his "Book from Prison," written during a long nightmare of hell, the emotional contrast between the two is unbelievable. The angel of the past has become a selfish and shallow heartless person in today's writing. Although he tried his best to suppress his resentment against Percy, his words are still full of despair, anger, sorrow, and sorrow... "I am sitting in the middle of the beautiful life I once had. On the ruins, it was almost destroyed by pain." "Sorrow, and everything that grief teaches people, is my new world." Wilde expounded on his shocking British "love that dare not name" in court: "'Love that dare not name' is a great love in this century . . . this love is misunderstood , the misunderstanding is so deep, it is even described as 'love that dare not say its name', in order to describe this love, I stand where I am now. It is beautiful, it is exquisite, it is the most noble feeling , there is nothing against nature in it. . . . The world does not understand this, but only mocks it and sometimes puts people in chains because of it." ********* Translated Wilde as "Heart too Detention" is really a stroke of genius, not only deducting the original meaning of Wilde's name, but also just right to point out his demeanor. This movie was ill-fated for me. From the VCD era to the DVD era, I have bought it several times, but there has never been a single disc that can be played well. I read it piecemeal several times, but when I finally read it in full, my interest has been greatly diminished, and the taste is like chewing wax. The film is based on Wilde's affair with Percy and the subsequent trial that put him in prison. Even after a hundred years of wind and rain, this weathering case still seems to be enough to cause uproar discussion today. The movie is very faithful to the historical facts. If people who know Wilde watch this movie, they may feel that they follow the rules and have a taste of it; people who don’t know Wilde watching this movie may feel that they don’t know much and see flowers in a fog. But I think the most ingenious thing about this movie is that it uses Wilde to tell his son his fairy tale "The Selfish Giant", which leads to a secluded path. It is said that when Wilde told his son about this fairy tale, he burst into tears. The son asked him why he was crying, and Wilde replied: Really beautiful things always make him cry. In a way, this fairy tale is alluding to Wilde's own destiny from "The Happy Prince" to "The Sorrowful Giant": "Who dares to make you like this?" shouted the giant, "Tell me, I'll go get mine. The long sword killed him." "No!" replied the child, "These are the scars of love." ********* Although the movie itself is not very good, the cast is quite neat, Especially today, 10 years later, this movie is a collection of talented and beautiful men in today's England. starring Stephen Fry Fry) is definitely the best choice for this role, not only looks like Wilde, but is also a genius, who is also a writer, screenwriter, director, and actor; the difference is that Wilde graduated from Oxford, and Fry went to Cambridge; and They are also gay. This genius is still hosting the British Academy Film Awards every year, and he is full of eloquence and wit, and definitely has the legacy of Oscar Wilde. However, as far as movies are concerned, the portrayal of Wilde is somewhat ambiguous. This kind of writer, who is known for his unbridled indulgence, can only understand him best by reading his works. In the movies I've seen, there are only two men who can act like "angel faces, devil hearts": one is Leonardo in "Total Eclipse", and the other is Percy in this film. Jude Law. When he acted in this movie, Judy Law was still far from the fame he is today, but he played Percy, an incarnation of an angel and a devil, to a love-hate relationship. At the end of the film, he looks back and smiles in the sun, it's like... Well, if Percy was so prosperous that day, I'm not at all surprised that Wilde has to fall into the same abyss again and again. It's a pity that today's Judy Law is more and more integrated into Hollywood, the fame is getting louder, the gossip is getting more and more, and he is still a handsome guy, but the glittering glamorous brilliance of that year no longer exists. Ross was Wilde's lifelong friend, and he opened the first window to male love for him. How much the portrayal of this character in the film will make people sigh that Wilde's love is inhuman. Actor Michael Sheen, who plays Ross, doesn't seem to be famous these days, but if you look at his portrayal of Prime Minister Tony Blair in "The Queen" last year, it's amazing. I feel that any British actor picked out at random is very powerful. There is also another lover of Wilde, John Gray (John Gray) in the film. Because Wilde has a very famous novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray", people will always refer to this story no matter at that time or later. Two realities are tied to the "Grey" in the novel. His actor Ioan Gruffudd (Ioan Gruffudd) is now also famous in Hollywood, playing Mr. Fantastic in "Fantastic Four" and Lancelot in "King Arthur". I am more impressed by his image of Pip in the BBC TV series "Great Expectations", and I feel that the film and television adaptation of classic classics is more convincing to him. Also featured in the film is Orlando Bloom Bloom's first epiphany on the big screen. He played a street-side Rentboy, jokingly and seductively looked at Wilde for a long time. Of course, I found him out of the crowd after knowing that he had acted in this movie many years later. ********* Wilde is a martyr of beauty. He was born in an era that didn't really need beauty. He challenged the moral nerves of the entire era with his ostentatious beauty and "love that dare not say its name". In the end, the wind is always blown away by the rain, and he has become the symbol of the destiny of beauty in the spiritual dark age. Wilde was finally buried in the Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Today, every day there are ladies who come here to kiss Fangze on his tombstone, which is always covered with dark red and light red lips. Although the cemetery staff will clean the tombstones on a regular basis, soon after each cleaning, there will be all kinds of lip prints appearing on the tombstones. "Happiness is for the body, but pain is for the soul." Beauty will never lack true admirers in any age.

The films in the series "The Master and His Lovers" are all about same-sex love stories by writers. The reason for taking such a vulgar and bloody name is actually due to various translations. It's like Wilde's translation of "The Heart is too much" is very good, but someone insists on translating it into "Wilde's Lover"; or like Maurice does not translate "Morris" and wants to translate "Morris's Lover", for fear that the audience will not understand. Delusional, just want to put "lover" on it.
