Wilde (Oscar Wilde) 1997 The movie – Part 11 – 12



Part 11 of 12 Director: Brian Gilbert Synopis: Based on the best-selling biography by Richard Ellman, this unconventional biopic traces the brilliant, witty, and tragic life of Oscar Wilde from his rise to fame as a much-in-demand author and public speaker to his downfall and ultimate imprisonment for homosexuality. Irish-born and homosexual, Wilde (Stephen Fry, in a critically lauded performance) nevertheless takes a loving wife (Jennifer Ehle), with whom he has children. While married, he becomes aware of his true sexual identity after a chance encounter with an aggressive house guest. This leads to a very public affair with vain, rebellious young Lord Alfred Douglas (Jude Law), the son of the Marquess of Queensbury (Tom Wilkinson, IN THE BEDROOM). Despite an astoundingly successful writing career, Wilde’s private life lands him in prison for “gross indecency,” a synonym for homosexual behavior, which was illegal in England at the time.

    So many emotions were running through me when I was watching the scene with his wife…love, annoyance, anger, happiness, saddness….I don’t know how I should feel about it…

    ok, so from 7:27 until 8:25 he’s saying the Ballad of Reading Gaol. did they just shorten and rearange it or did they add bits as well?

    I’m happy he’s seeing Bosie again…I think Robbie was hitting on Oscar at the end hehe…he’s still jelous x

  • VioletaPython says:

    @carolinelinnae Yes but even as he is quiet in the table when he’s taken a sip of his wine it looks, and Michael is so good, like Robbie has a hidden agenda. He is jealous of Bosie for recieving Oscar’s love and affection but at the same time he knows his place, it’s all too ambigous which I identify with. He doesn’t want to loose Oscar’s confidence in him. But yes he cared more for Oscar than Bosie, and the fact that he was with him after he came out of jail is living proof of that.

    Here say:
    Wife of Oscar Wilde
    Here rests in peace
    Constance Mary
    Daughter of Horace Lloyd QC
    Born January 2nd 1858, died April 7th 1898

    I can’t read the tombstone because of the quality… whose is it?

  • Hopeless03 says:

    Lol, Ross wasn’t an angel either. He was actually the one that introduced Oscar to the homosexual underground of London, not Bosie. He also lied about a whole bunch of stuff about Bosie, things that remain in the popular mainstream today (this movie, for example). What we know of the account of Bosie has traditionally been handed down by his enemy, Ross, or Oscar’s de Profundis in which the claims were quite unsubstantiated.

  • theunhappyhours says:

    It is unbearably heartbreaking to see the Irishman without his hair – oh.

    P.S. <3 Robbie

  • Ysaedda says:

    Constance is just one of the sweetest characters in this whole movie. You would think that a wife, cheated on for years (whether with men or women), might harbour a grudge.

  • lazarush1980 says:

    thank you so much for that – yes your right – it is the ballad of reading gaol – i checked it out:) its a fantastic poem – and as with many of wildes writings – very long:) lol

    thanks again;)

  • laurarara says:

    I’m pretty sure it’s ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’. It’s a really good poem. :)

  • lazarush1980 says:

    I absolutely agree – Bosie was just a lost boy – Robbie was the real deal!

    What is the poem Wilde is rehearsing from 7.25 onwards? – its not de profundis???

  • Sanchitk7331 says:

    Green carnations for all

  • carolinelinnae says:

    Robbie is the one who really truly loves Oscar. Bosie loves him too…but he loves himself as well. He’s a stuck up little prig…Robbie is selfless and caring. Bosie only wanted revenge on his father in the case…not justice for Oscar.
    <3 Robbie.

  • Ezekiel199 says:

    Interesting… His original tomb in Pere-Lachaise was disfigured by vandalism in his own time. It was re-erected within the last 20 years, and now it’s covered with lipstick kisses from top to bottom. He has been vindicated.

  • Yivchan says:

    robbieeee boo hooo!!!!!!!!!!! u and oscar foreverrr

  • EdwardxAddict says:

    I think that Constance wasnt as niave as everyone thinks and it is not just her unconditional love for Wilde that made her take him back, in sorts, i believe that yes she does love him but not in a romantic way but more as the father of her children. Since she was not niave i doubt she would not have realised what had been going on with Wilde during thier marriage. I believe she took him back for her childrens sake not her own, or Wilde’s.

  • Bigfatbutterfly02 says:

    I love the part from the beginning ’till about 4:00 that was really touching. I think the most beautifull part of the film, mostly because of Stephens acting. <3

  • ericxpenner says:

    Honestly, the acting was all-round spectacular. I’ve never fancied Jude Law much, but he was absolutely superb in this film. Also, Stephen Fry was nothing short of brilliant.

  • marab203 says:

    aww…constance. she truly loved him. i think she’s the most tragic figure in all this. oscar made his bed with bosie, and chose to lie in it. such a noble gesture for such an unworthy person…bosie was a selfish, misguided prick.

    all around wonderful acting by stephen fry, jude law, as well as “robbie” and “constance.”

  • dbrito83 says:

    She was a great person!!!!

  • jeremyshambles says:

    wow, he is my favorite writer of all time as well. you certainly have wonder-full taste, cheers

  • skyemcleod1 says:

    Arrgh! Bosie was Osacar’s downfall! Too bad he couldn’t have just loved him and let him write and be brilliant! He was a beautiful spoiled brat. Jude was so young and amazing in this! Wow..

  • tuliratsu says:

    Constance showed unconditional love for taking him back…
    Just as Oscar loved Bosie unconditionally, knowingly choosing prison.

  • dinaklarisse says:

    Haha, he deserved an Oscar for being a wonderful Oscar.

  • cista says:

    i always thought of oscar wilde (in my lost innocent years before reading his Dorian Gray when I subsequently lost the said innocence just as Dorian had) as this most idle man. I mean, he does value idleness, does he not? In this film, he was more… grown-up i suppose, but not very wise (as he is not anyway, in terms of love). He seems so patient with bosie and all….

  • cista says:

    i think it’s that they patronize oscar wilde too much in this film…

    Don’t get me wrong: I absolutely adore the film and Wilde is my top favorite wit and writer of all time… But in a sense, he is also human, insufferable (and maybe more so) than any one of us… The film did great work but they failed to make the characters round enough to make them seem more human than martyrs and arses…. I think.
