TIOBE part1

[cyberebel]

So different from the actual play -- the entire first act takes place in the home of Algernon in the lounge. But this is such a good comedy, I couldn't care less. Plus I love Colin freaking Firth.

[tmarkgrundy]

This has to be the worst version of Wilde's wonderful play ever. It has none of the life, pace and wit of the original and the music is from about 40 years after the time the play is set. The characters are flat and two dimensional and the script has been cut to death.

[shadowmast46]

Does anyone have any clue what the name of the introduction song is?

[SeeSarahGo]

My last name is Earnest :)

[9Maleficus9]

Algy playing at the beginning is so funny, haha

[marina19844]

The importance of being earnest is the best book I have ever read. Oscar Wilde was a genius.

quelqu'un pourrait il me dire ou resume le film pour moi merci...

[missvaly4171]

A la fin du XIXe siècle, en Angleterre, deux jeunes gentlemen, Jack Worthing et Algernon Moncrieff, se découvrent un stratagème commun. Jack, qui vit à la campagne, s'est inventé à Londres un frère débauché, Constant, qui lui sert

d'excuse pour échapper à la pesante bienséance dont il doit s'entourer pour veiller sur Cecily, sa jeune pupille. Algernon, à Londres, s'est inventé un ami invalide qui vit à la campagne et qui lui sert de prétexte pour éviter certaines corvées mondaines de la cité.

The perfect essence of romance is "UNCERTAINTY"

[Enderschoice]

Curses, blast, and plagues! Will I EVER find the lovely opening music to this movie?!

*sob*

[PiecesOfRainbow7]

@Enderschoice It's on itunes! I got it a couple months ago. Its by Charlie Mole and its called The Importance of Being Earnest Front Titles :)

[Enderschoice]

@PiecesOfRainbow7 HOORAY! *sends plates of gold-encrusted cookies and diamond studded umbrellas to your inbox in grumble hatitude*

[PiecesOfRainbow7]

@Enderschoice omygosh this is the best present ive ever gotten!!

[Enderschoice]

@PiecesOfRainbow7 Hee, you're welcome.

*puts opening titles of TIOBE on endless repeat*

[clay180]

I simply love the music, it just suits the movie, and the play perhaps, so unbelievably well.

[derna1970]

TIOBE is just about my favorite play!!! I read it in about an hour and a half and it had me rolling over laughing!! This isn't a bad adaptation of it either!

[RedKingCommandz]

brilliant cast

but Stephen Fry would have made this film perfect

great script to, Oscar Wilde is a legend

[Enderschoice]

@RedKingCommandz As the butler?

[secretary92]

[salemwitche]

OMG THEY CUT MY FAVORITE SCENE!!!

[hahabinga]

I just want you to know:I LOVE YOU!

[lifefountain1]

colin is soooo HOT!!!

[iloverockx10]

yes yes yes is is the older fitter guy in all films

[odorobou]

God the opening piano scene is my favorite scene in the movie and in the written play.

I thought it was very appropriate to cast Everett in an Oscar Wilde production too. XP

[johnmannno]

Dreadful version of this marvelous play. I suppose they wanted to "update it" so that it could seem "chic" to the younger set. Ah well. For a more definitive version, see the one directed by Asquith, with Dame Edith Evans and Michael Redgrave. (Although they made some ludicrous cuts in the script in that film as well.) Or best yet, read the play. It's the best.

[salubrious23]

I dont think the adaptation is so bad--granted its not quite the way i had imagined it (especially not the end). However, nothing can compare to the play itself (definitely read it)

[xnavk]

Yes, great movie!

Anyone knows is "an ideal husband" where Everett plays manin role is on youtube, how ca I watch that?

[BroadwayBabe121]

OMG i love love LOVE that movie!!! I havent found it, and i've looked bloody hard! But I hope someone puts it up soon.

OSCAR WILDE = LOVE!

[esterbcn]

thanks for posting this missvaly! it's a great movie! I love it!

[tmarkgrundy]

@esterbcn You've obviously never seen the play done properly. This travesty bears little relation to what Wilde wrote.

[missvaly4171]
