full Plot summary 0F Dorian Gray:
A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.
A naïve young man. A lovelorn artist. A corruptible Lord. A deal with the Devil. It all paints a dark picture of a Victorian London and how the rich and infamous party at their peril. Here, the telling of time and its consequence of experience for life's treasures' takes its toll on the body, mind and soul. The haunting and bleak tale of power, greed, vanity and inevitable self-destruction is ever present amongst the deceit, opium dens and sin. Written by Cinema_Fan
Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs.Hollywood Movie Dorian Gray review :
Oscar Wilde's story is about the descent of a man's soul from purity into the depths of debauchery. However, much of what Wilde wrote about, seems quotidian and mundane in today's context. And to make a gripping movie based on this story requires particular skill. This is my personal opinion, but I do wish Tim Burton had made it - it may have turned out better than the laboured & painful turkey that Oliver Parker has churned out. Ben Barnes makes a convincing Dorian Gray, but is ultimately let down by the loosely written script and equally loose direction. The music starts to feel like a broken record, and at one point, actually sounds silly. I would recommend you watch the film if you have nothing better to do!
The opening passage of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray is simply a sublime piece of writing, oozing with sumptuous language and stuffed with images of decadent lethargy which typify the lifestyle of Lord Henry Wotton, the corrupting force behind the downfall of beautiful young Dorian. The new film based on the book, however, opens with Dorian murdering an unseen victim, then dragging the body in a chest to the docks and dumping it in the Thames. It feels a lot more like the London of From Hell than the one conjured up by Wilde in the book’s early stages, and Dorian Gray the motion picture is a lot more hammy and playful than its source material. But is this ham a succulent one?
Dorian Gray roughly follows the course of the book, with Dorian (Ben Barnes) granted unending youth and beauty and a life of endless corporeal pleasure when he commits his soul to a portrait of himself. The painting, which he eventually has to keep locked out of sight in his attic, is the only testament to the scars of his misdeeds, and over the years it ages and becomes disfigured while Dorian himself does not change.
If you haven’t read the book yet, see the movie first. That may be a slightly controversial suggestion, but doing it the other way around might be more damaging to your enjoyment of both. Dorian is spurred into his life of debauchery by the philosophising of Henry Wotton, played by Colin Firth, who insists that pleasure is the only purpose of life and that conscience is just a polite term for cowardice.This Movie Links With Review Thousands of people think same so download and watch movies whenever and wherever they want.
