Who said they had the song from the trailer? PM me

[pekingente91]

I think it will be a great movie and I will definitely watch it.

But I also can understand the negative oponions because they are true :(

Sigh... How disappointing lol. Another adaptation that seems to be shying away from the homosexual content to avoid losing a mainstream audience. Hopefully the trailer isn't representative of the whole film, but on the basis of this 40 second glimpse it seems to be another lost opportunity to render an accurate portrayal of Wilde's novel on film...

He did have relationships with women too remember.

[Meinlondon]

You're right, he did indeed. Although I saw those relationships as a device used by for Oscar Wilde to make Dorian less obviously gay and to tone down any possible scandal. The deviant behaviours (mainly the homosexual acts) were hinted at but never made clear, presumably to avoid the book being banned and Wilde himself being arrested, given the laws of the day prohibiting homosexual acts. As it was he ended up being prosecuted under those laws anyway. A 2009 movie could have been less prudish.

I always feel annoyed by those with the modern and narrow minded inclination of thinking that bisexuality does not exist and never did exist. Never mind that it was common practice in Ancient Greece as well as Japan. Even before Wilde made the changes to his story Sibyl existed in the tale. Also Dorian, the name, is Greek. It's heavily implied the character was meant to be omnisexual or bisexual much like some Greek practices. Greek, in Wilde's day, was a euphanism for lking men and women.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Please remember that Lord Henry himself delivers the line 'To define is to limit!' Basil was definitely infatuated with Dorian and Alan Campbell was definitely an exlover but Dorian had equally as many affairs with women. He ruined men and women after being intimate with them. Dorian wanted to experience 'every type' of pleasure. He never limited himself in specifics. He was an excessive hedonist after all, even indulging in things Lord Henry was naive about or had a limited prudishness about.

[TheBratKingJareth]

In example Lord Henry felt Crime was a vice only of the poor so Dorian goes off to experience it. Lord Henry tells him to never marry and that's when he proposes to Sibyl Vane. Though Dorian listened to Lord Henry more than anyone he also contradicted him more than anyone in order to experience new sensations.

definetely. i'm absolutely disappointed after having seen this trailer. this just seems to be another historical action movie nobody needs. and that's not what wilde wanted to transmitt with his book.

[TheBratKingJareth]

Sometimes trailers can be misleading. Remember the trailers for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? They took the most intense moments of the film and spliced them together to make it look very different from what it was.
