No genius can resist the temptation of sinful love

I myself didn't know much about Wilde before watching this movie, except that he was a famous writer, wrote fairy tales, wrote plays, novels, and that he was gay. But I thought this would be another biography of the writer's brilliant and wonderful life. What I didn't expect was that it described such a sad, bitter, unacceptable, secret and destructive love that ended a genius early in the end. Artist's life.
Wilde was an aesthete, striving for perfection all his life, and he was obsessed with handsome young men. So fate sent him a beautiful and impeccable Percy. Percy was vain, selfish, proud, unrestrained in life, extravagant, asking for anything and everything, hurting him repeatedly, begging for forgiveness, reconciliation, and finally because of his conflict with his paranoid and violent father, which directly led to Wilde being brought to court. , was arrested and imprisoned. Jail completely ruined his creative talent, his health and his entire life. After being released from prison, Wilde reunited briefly with Percy, who had never visited him in prison before breaking up. When he died, he was surrounded only by the innkeeper and two friends. No Percy, the love of his life.
If there is no shining talent, is an ordinary person who has experienced such love, will he be despised and despised by the world even more? Because I think that lover is too rude, too bad. Loving such a person is not worth it at all, it is long overdue to stay away from him, avoid him like the plague. is the wise choice.
But Wilde, who pursued beauty and Greek-style love, just couldn't control his emotions and body. Percy was like a fine wine mixed with poison, but he couldn't stop and drank it. Let go of all the love and family and worldliness around you. As later generations, as readers who love his works, what else can we do but sigh?
No one who has been hopelessly in love with someone else may not understand such love. When you have really loved and been hurt by it, you can understand all this!
