He loved Bosie with all his heart, but Bosie couldn't give him all of it. In my opinion, Bosie is more spiritually dependent on him and has a sense of achievement in conquering a genius. Think about the contemporary famous family who abandoned their wives and children, bought houses and land for themselves, endured the humiliation of their father for him, and To endure his unruly life and pretend to enjoy it, to have no sex for him, just Plato, to fight a lawsuit and give false testimony for him, even disregarding his reputation and future, and finally go to jail for him. When he brought Oscar to hire a prostitute and Oscar gave the male prostitute a cigarette case, he lost his temper and left angrily; when Oscar went home and glanced at his wife and children, he was so angry that he didn't even bring water to Oscar, and slammed the door for fun Go, and Oscar came back to comfort him immediately when he saw the news of his brother's suicide, this kind of love that doesn't care about return satisfies all the conquest of love of a spoiled aristocratic child. Oscar lost all his dignity in the most painful love in his life. He was so humble, so vulnerable, and so indulgent. This humbleness is destined to not be rewarded, because love is also about equality and evenness. This kind of completely weak love It is easy to be trampled on. Oscar, who is smart, sharp and talented, can't stand his own position in this love at all, like the most ignorant poor worm.
But whether this will win or lose for Oscar remains to be seen. Isn't this pursuit of the ultimate in life the call of the artist's marrow? The masochistic love has given Oscar endless inspiration. His two big hit stage plays were completed when Bosie abandoned him for the first time, as well as works and love letters in prison. Robbie said "what did you write when you were with him?" but without them being together and Bosie's departure, he probably wouldn't have written anything. Therefore, Oscar may not have taken the initiative to grasp this tingling love in his heart, just as he grasped youth and inspiration.
This is also the reason why Robbie, who is close to him, loves him all his life, and follows him until his death, but he does not get his love. Love, it's really hard to say clearly, the joy brought by abusive love may be more attractive than the pain. Each of us may have had such a period of abusive love in our emotional life, but we are ordinary people, we will grow up, discard this kind of love in order to protect ourselves, and start to pursue reality. Artists are young children, and Oscar pursues this kind of love all his life and is reluctant to let go. Suffering is suffering, but as with anything in the world, he does not compromise, he insists on himself.
Oscar's actors are indeed a bit embarrassed, which also makes the story development easier and logical. Jude Law's beauty and ruthlessness have nothing to say, deep down. When an idiot meets a lover, who succeeds who?
