    Thank you! RynthaAndApocy. True, so as with merry and cheerful… May Nietzsche be a rewarding read.

  3. RynthaAndApocy says:

    @Merseyrock I’m …
    @Merseyrock I’m pretty sure “Gay” wasn’t a term for homosexual at the time, and was intended more as a sort of “happy” meaning. i say this because I was recently reading an introduction to the book “The Gay Science” by the philosopher Nietzsche and the translator was very firm on this point.

    I refuse to believe that Dorian was gay…

  9. justs0random says:

    I actually dont think that dorian is really gay. I mean he obviously acts exctremely gay but i thinks hes just using his gifted ability of seduction to persuasive and get ppl to do what he wants. like if i was alan. i wudda caved the moment he pushed me back on the sofa-like thing. jeez. he is yummy!!

    Both Jeremy Brett …
    Both Jeremy Brett and John Giel;gud were homosexuals.

  11. CassieLopez says:

    @BuffyFreak7 Yes …
    @BuffyFreak7 Yes Buffy, in the book people did notice — they said that he had made a deal with the devil to keep his youth, but he was so beautiful and pure looking that when people were actually looking at him they couldn’t believe any evil of him. It’s a major plot point. The movie doesn’t seem to deal much with that point.

  12. Calith87 says:

    well if there was …
    well if there was any argument about whether or not Dorian was gay this scene settles it. He’s like 2 minutes away from a blow job.

    was good seeing Dorian scared … like he had feelings … even though it was for himself but that was the funny part LOL

  15. sadbaby01 says:

    the character of …
    the character of Dorian Gray is definitely bisexual, or at least it is strongly implied in the book, as it was impossible for Wilde to be more explicit.

  16. BuffyFreak7 says:

    wouldn’t people …
    wouldn’t people notice that dorian hasn’t gotten any older after all this time???
    O_o

  17. Ranja86 says:

    Wow… so …
    Wow… so everything hints at Dorian having seduced Alan (I don’t want to say he’d him, in modern terms), and the pose where Alan is kneeling in front of him made me just think waaaaaaaay naughty.. :D

  18. Ranja86 says:

    Then he is at least …
    Then he is at least Bi, speaking in modern terms.^^ The book was intended to hint at homoerotic things.

  19. Ranja86 says:

    Not really. O.o I …
    Not really. O.o I find this is perfectly fine with the original.. watch the new version, which IS indeed way different.
