How is it possible to express the daily life of a danmei in a movie? I thought and thought, but I can't think of it... I
struggled repeatedly, opened it several times, and closed it again before the title was over. Ended up watching it on and off on trains and buses and was unsurprisingly disappointed.
In the sex scene, it is impossible to express the beauty of the four!
Dorian Gray's ending is deeply etched in my heart, Dorian lost in his own beauty and wanted to kill that ugly self in order to have it for a long time. It's absolute bullshit to be turned into love and burn the magic painting in the movie. If love is real, then Dorian in the painting should have turned into a wonderful man with a past; if love is false, then it is inexplicable that Dowling chose to commit suicide. The fault is not in the painting, but in Dowling's own humility and falsehood condoned by beauty.
Wilde is a divisive guy, and in the original, he himself played the three roles of Henry, Dorian, and Dorian's painting. Sir Henry is not Mephistopheles, nor is painting, the deadliest evil is the separation of beauty from the true self.
I'm still looking forward to the ghosts being turned into movies... The ghosts played by children and the final redemption of Good and Beauty are very graphic.
