The Picture of Dorian Gray – Part 7 of 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.

noooooooooooooo…………….the book really showcased Basil’s interests towards Dorian earlier on.
The actors in the …
The actors in the new version sound “posh” (compared to the awful “Estuary English” that’s popular on TV) but back in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s the voices heard on TV were much clearer and easier to understand. Also, regional accents are popular on TV now because BBC English, Home Counties voices are considered old fashioned
Jep.. the thing is, …
Jep.. the thing is, BBC English is much better to understand.. In this verison I understand each word, in the new version which runs in cinemas that day I couldnt understand everything… (I’m German, so for me it’s second language)
Yes it is.. but in …
Yes it is.. but in the film you really see that Basil had totally a crush on Dorian. ^^ He loved him, how cute. ^.^

All these actors …
All these actors are so well-spoken … people sneer at “BBC English” now but I much prefer this style of speech to that heard on Big Brother or EastEnders.

Is Dorian a professional dancer or something? Look at his posture and movements!

dorian looks so much like cate blanchet
Jeremy Brett was a …
Jeremy Brett was a wonderful human being….it’s really quite aggrevating, not to mention frustrating when ignorant people say condensending, brainless, useless, comments about him……the world already has enough evil in it, and people insist on adding more, and more >:-(

Please concentrate on him then and leave JB alone. No need for hateful comments.

HenryCorbetson, what’s your prroblem with Jeremy Brett?? Secretly fancy him? You can tell us, it’s okay, you’re not the first. But please stop your stupid comments. Thanks.
poor guy
poor guy
Haha! Yes!
Haha! Yes!
Dorian is such a …
Dorian is such a little in this. He comes across as a child, not a young a man. He’s not nearly good looking enough nor charismatic. Very disappointing.
Margaret Thatcher …
Margaret Thatcher later copied the hair-do
I know exactly what …
I know exactly what you mean.. I have felt like that, most people I suppose must have for I think everybody must love once.
I think this scene is some of the best acting Brett did, but it was a litttle spoiled by the Dorian he was confessing his love for. I’m imagining Jude Law in ‘Wilde’, don’t know about anyone else.
After Basil says ” …
After Basil says “It was a confession” he has the most hilarious facial expression.
Doian isn’t even …
Doian isn’t even peticulary pretty in this.
I really felt for Basil
This Dorian is …
This Dorian is annoying me so much… He’s not pretty at all, just a pouting sulky teenager with a silly wig
I’ve read the book …
I’ve read the book a few times, and so far this movie is very close to the original book.
And man, Dorian was such a jerk to Basil!
I agree.
I agree.
