British taste. Although the plot is attractive and the dialogue is wonderful (especially Henry’s natural unethical + non-responsible point of view), it is still a bit boring + slow的调调. 的调调.
At that time, I was fascinated by the role of Dorian, the mixture of evil and stunning, and often overlapped him with the young version of KEANU REEVES, because KEANU was nearly 40 years old, and there was also a delicate and naive image that seemed to never grow old. Face.
It's not so much that I love this work, it's better to say that I like beauty, and I like youth.
I don’t know what London was like at the time. The style of clothing and lifestyle was popular at the time. When I read the original, I felt that the scene of this story should be very luxurious and corrupt, gorgeous upper class society, and the overall atmosphere effect of this movie is similar to that. I think a little bit differently, not so gorgeous, but I love this kind of dark and weird atmosphere more, after all, the story itself is quite scary.
The exquisite pictures and soundtrack are easy for people to enter the state. The suit Dorian attended the funeral was very handsome, but there seemed to be more lust scenes, but BEN himself did not show much, which is a pity.
Perhaps most people who have seen the original will think that Ben Barnes’s role as Dorian Gray is not amazing enough. When I watched the trailer, I only looked forward to the movie itself with the love of the original, but after watching the movie, I found that he actually did a good job. He is more attractive to being a bad person than being a good person, and he does both Dorian's simplicity and evil.
Well, I forgive BEN for not being beautiful enough. (In fact, the more I look at it, the more I think he is handsome~~~)
As for Colin Firth, his loyal and honest appearance to play the lewd Henry is really unaccustomed (I still think of him in " The image of the good man in "BJ Singles Diary")...
This version of the movie analyzes and tells the process of Dorian Gray’s fall in more detail than the original book. The original book only shows that he has become infamous a few years later. No serious woman dared to be alone with him, but it didn’t elaborate on Dorian Gray. How to become bad, it is also very strange that he has changed his mind to actresses. If someone marries you without becoming an actor, you will abandon them? It couldn't be said, and it seemed that Dorian was very stupid.
People nowadays are probably more accepting the arrangement in the movie version that Dorian loses interest in pure love after trying drugs and promiscuity. As for the actress who committed suicide after being dumped, although it seems far-fetched in the original book and the movie, after all, that era is different from the present, it is nothing strange.
Dorian was originally an ignorant young man who had never seen anything in the world, but he was rich and beautiful. He was loved by everyone. He had hardly suffered any setbacks. He was fragile and cheatable. In addition, he had such a bad friend as Henry. It's hard.
It is not difficult to find that Henry can easily manipulate Dorian because of his ignorance and childishness. It seems that teenagers nowadays often do stupid things because they think they are or are misled into thinking that doing so will be very stylish, but I don't know if I'm killing myself.
I personally think that the biggest flaw in the film is that the actresses are basically unappealing (the actress who plays the actress is Rachel Hurd-Wood, the heroine of "Perfume". She has red hair in "Perfume", which is very beautiful and beautiful, but here it is shown. In the end, Emily’s character was a simple peasant girl in the original book, but she turned into a smart and independent rich girl here. Is it to meet the preferences of modern people? ?
I think the original book and this version of the movie have their own strengths (in fact, I prefer the movie version). The movie version explains the plot that the original book does not have, making the story more complete, especially the ending of the movie version, which is fascinating, but there are many wonderful things in the original book. Dialogue movies are not enough.
After all, without the original, there would be no later movie version.
Youth is not old, not only the appearance, even the eyes are as clear and moving as before. Any ugly things on your body are covered by a canvas + a bunch of oil paints, and your price is only to sell your soul.
What we want to ask is not why you do this, but why don't you do it? ? ?
Dorian let the portrait bear everything for him, as if we would use PS to make our own photos perfect, to a level that we can't achieve in real life, full of impossible hope and endless fantasy. Of course, Dorian's portrait is much more advanced than our PS.
However, to borrow Huang Zihua's words, sometimes there are some things that no one wants to sell, and no one wants to give them away, including our souls. If I can, I also want to paint a picture, but I don’t know if anyone is willing to buy my soul.
