what a shame . i can not believe i have watch it till the end . basil a woman . it just spoil everything . how about the love that dare not speak it name and such love a michael angelo have know and and montaigne and and winckelmann and and shakespeare himself . how can the director justify himself about the secrecy hidden in the picture that basil do not want to reveal at first and and his confession to dorian later . if basil be a woman and what the necessary of put these in the film any more . and divide the work into influence and sin and redemption and etc . it just cut wilde masterpiece and his thought into piece and and ruin the intricacy of the original work . the director just impose his interpretation of the novel upon u and which unfortunately and i can hardly agree . what more and he ruin all the character and basil and dorian ( what the use of the bed scene with sybil . and the wedding of basil and henry and by the way . ) and henry finally . why replace campbell and who dispose basil body and with henry . henry be suppose to be a spectator and stay unmoved in this story . it far too away from his cynical aphorism and which seem a one of the only thing leave in this version worth watch . forgive me for be so angry at this film . i just can not stand oscar wilde masterpiece be ruin like that . i know everyone have a different understanding at this work and but i really do not think it would be what the writer himself want to reveal or rather conceal . i wish i hadn not watch it . yet and fortunately and wilde himself do not have to .
