This film was shot in 1997, when so-called "selling corruption" was far from popular, and the film's expression of same-sex love was quite pure and beautiful. Matching it, the film gathered many talented British actors who were in their prime, Judy Law, Michael Sheen, and Orlando Bloom, who seemed to be unknown at the time. The legendary men have now become the darlings of Hollywood, which makes one cannot help but sigh at the high quality of British actors.
Judy Law has always played the arrogant, deceitful side of women in same-sex relationships, even in the non-sex-themed "Chronicle". In Wilde, the beautiful bosie seems to be a tailor-made character for him, using his arrogance, willfulness, arrogance, weakness and childishness from the inside out to the extreme. Looking back now, I really miss him at that time, and at the same time feel sentimental for Law who was tortured by Downey in "Sherlock Holmes"...
In contrast, robbie played by Michael Sheen is the perfect lover, he is passionate Taking into account rationality, even if Wilde no longer loves him, he still runs silently for the family that Wilde left behind after voluntarily quitting, and was the first to applaud at the scene of the trial. In the process of the story, I have been wondering whether robbie did these things with some kind of guilt mentality. I didn't expect that he would express this feeling at the end of the film. But in Wilde's life, there will always be such a person. The intrusion of robbie, who values love and righteousness, is not a great luck for Wilde? Many times, the person who loves us the most is not the one we love. This reality is helpless and has some inexplicable beauty, which constitutes our incomplete and misty love and life.
Compared with the times when Wilde lived, same-sex love today has been more tolerant, but this tolerance is still very limited, so Wilde's "love that dare not say its name" is still so shocking today. people's hearts-
"'Love that dare not say its name' is a great love in this century...In this century, it is so misunderstood that it is even described as 'love that dare not say its name' , to describe this love, I stand where I am now. It is beautiful, it is delicate, it is the noblest emotion, it is not in the slightest against nature... The world does not understand this, but only Mock it and sometimes put people in chains because of it."
