不记得哪个友邻说的，一部电影如果看完后回味很久，说明喜欢。
前一阵得知Colin的新片是王尔德传记片；前两天开始听Stephen Fry的podcast The Great Leap Years。这两个动力促使我去看了炸叔1997年的电影Wilde。
我对王尔德不熟悉。之前读过Dorian Gray和Importance of Being Earnest，印象是他的犀利幽默很厉害，和DNA给我的感觉一样。然而他的这两部给我更多感觉是妙语太多，只能堆砌起来。（DNA何尝不也是堆砌，但就正好更加击中我。。）
我本以为王尔德会是恃才傲物的类型。没想到电影里展现的王尔德，其实完全没有diva的感觉。相反他爱着一个Diva类型的人，Bosie。如果我早几年看这部电影，可能会为他因为Bosie而坐牢而感到惋惜。传统的sterotype是：红颜祸水。然而电影里，我们一步步为主角担心，为他的命运惋惜的时候，我却越来越清晰地感到，正是因为有Bosie，他才真实完整。电影里描绘Bosie的问题来自他非常bitter的父亲。一个永远对人恶言恶语的人可以给世界带来很大伤害，我感受很深。所以对于Oscar对Bosie的保护，我非常钦佩。
Stephen Fry，只要一开口，我就能沉醉其中的人，表演得恰如其分。我本来是准备来欣赏一个充满才华和希望的艺术家的，得到的却是一个驾驭自己才华，并且保护别人的年轻和希望的艺术家。真是一个大惊喜。
电影中他在审判时的陈述，查了一下wiki，是真实的：
Wilde: “The love that dare not speak its name” in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It dictates and pervades great works of art, like those of Shakespeare and Michelangelo, and those two letters of mine, such as they are. It is in this century misunderstood, so much misunderstood that it may be described as “the love that dare not speak its name,” and on that account of it I am placed where I am now. It is beautiful, it is fine, it is the noblest form of affection. There is nothing unnatural about it. It is intellectual, and it repeatedly exists between an older and a younger man, when the older man has intellect, and the younger man has all the joy, hope and glamour of life before him. That it should be so, the world does not understand. The world mocks at it, and sometimes puts one in the pillory for it.
