影片中扮演王尔德的演员史提芬·佛利被称作"翻版王尔德",他后来也公开了自己的同性恋身份,但并未此而遭到迫害,这不得不感谢今天社会的进步与宽容。最近英国还铸造了一尊王尔德的塑像,刻下他的名句:“我们都生活在渊薮,但有人会仰望星空”(We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars)。人们永远不会忘记这位才华横溢又个性不羁的大文豪。
Plot:
The Irish writer Oscar Wilde returns to London from America and gets married with Constance Lloyd Wilde in the Victorian England. They have two children, Cyril and Vyvyan, and he makes lots of money with his successful plays. He gets close to the young Robbie Ross and "leaves the closet", assuming his homosexuality and having brief affairs with youths. When he meets the corrupt Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas, he falls in love for the young man; but Bosie's father goes to the court accusing the writer "posing sodomite" and Wilde is sentenced to two years of hard labor. His health is affected by the unhealthy conditions in prison and he has a short life in Paris after being discharged from the imprisonment.
thanks a lot for sharing this 13-year-ago movie, quite like Oscar Wild's works and can't wait to watch a film about his love life.作者: johnluo 时间: 2011-10-20 06:12
