The Picture of Dorian Gray - Part 6 - 10

Synopsis: Dorian Gray (Peter Firth) is a privileged man who sits for artist Basil Hallward (Jeremy Brett). Gray is so happy with the results that he wishes he could look that way forever; Hallward tells him it could be so, but for a terrible price. Gray soon discovers that he no longer ages, but his portrait does instead, and as he becomes more corrupt and stops putting a check on his appetites, he discovers just how great a toll is portrait is forced to bear.

They're dandies, it was the nineteenth century equivalent of 'metrosexual.' Dorian in the novel was meant to be ambiguously bisexual.

Thank you - just what I need right now becauce I am in a celibacy for quite some time; and not bad looking at all, to console you.

@gypsyprincess713 Ben Barnes wasn't bad, but I found the 2009 version he played in horribly directed and not well written.

[BelatedCommiseration]

Lord Henrys comments, like the original, are paradoxical and interesting but would anyone really respond in such a way after a death unless they were a chronic sociopath? I shouldn't really read into it because, as Wilde himself said, its all about the artifice and only shallow people don't care about appearances. Wilde himself despised the realist genre of his day so I suppose you can't expect much more, but I always felt Lord Henrys reaction unsettles the plot rather than enhances it.

[tragicXdownpour]

Wow. All I can say is...Ben Barnes, please.

[blueunicorno8]

i love the story ...always have but im afraid that this version should have been called The Picture of Dorian GAY...the actor is unmistakenly expressing those qualities in this adaptation

[JuanMacready]

[jzen1398]

@AtheistAnarchoRudi Crime is for the lower classes. Henry would never stoop so low.

[hearts000able]

you call yesterday the past? good line

[juliewayiero]

at least hes bond xD

[JuanMacready]

Firth was far better looking than the ugly, overacting homosexual nutter Jeremy Brett.

[Fr34k1ng0ut]

I found the link to this posted on imdb with "Also want to see a Dorian who can't act? Watch this.". Lol, so true... That's one terrible Dorian... Physical unattractiveness aside, his facial expression and body language fail miserably :D. I'd hit that... with a baseball bat!

[McCoyFan]

I'm an artist, and Jeremy Brett is my Dorian Grey.

[FrankClanton]

Huh?

[FynFlyte]

The way Basil says Dorian sounds like he is saying darling.

[lozcroft]

Haha, Dorian has the face as me in profile. Not really portraying the Dorian Gray beauty here is it?

[GilwenX]

Oh mY Gosh:: Dorian is Gilderoy Lockhart LOLLLL

[AtheistAnarchoRudi]

lolol even though there is no evidence for this it could be that henry killed sybil. the reason being that looking back henry could very well purposefully be trying to corrupt dorian. although it is never said explicitly in the novel that he is doing that. the whole book is ambiguous.
