The end of Oscar Wilde is one of the saddest and even unfair in the history of Literature. After reaching a relevant position he saw himself prosecuted by an important man who destroyed his life. Oscar Wilde spent two years in prison. After that, he had to leave London and lived in Paris in a miserable condition. His family forgot about him and he died in total poverty. However, Oscar Wilde is the author of one of the best works of Literature ever done.
There are some movies about the plays of Oscar Wilde but there are not so many about Oscar Wilde. This movie “The Happy Prince” is despicable, it seems as if the only reason to do this movie is to add sadness into the already sad end of Oscar Wilde. In fact, there are scenes that are pathetic. I think this movie is an interpretation of the last days of Wilde, what we see did not happen in that way because there are scenes that are awful, horrendous and grotesque. Oscar Wilde deserves another kind of movie or even his final character Sebastian Melmoth (this was his name in Paris) deserves a fairer treatment. The sensation this movie gives you is really negative.

Thanks a lot for your kind comment. Do not watch this movie
It is not a good movie. It does portrait Oscar Wilde from a wrong perspective.
I don’t know a lot about Oscar Wilde except the name. sometimes people are unjust.
That´s strange. His one of the best writers ever. His plays and his novel “The picture of Dorian Gray” are really relevant in Literature history
I love Oscar Wild work. So sad that his end was so poorly met.
Thanks a lot for your comment
Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite authors.
Great to know that. Thanks a lot for your comment.
Dole of the King’s Daughter is my favorite by Wilde
Thanks a lot for your comment. I love “The portrait of Dorian Gray”.
read that one back in high school
I agree with you that Oscar Wilde was a great writer. It seems many writers and artists often live very tragic lives. Their work is often unappreciated. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody say they didn’t appreciate the writings of Oscar Wilde. At least, none of my English teachers said it.
Yes, you are right, the writings of Oscar Wilde were great but this movie is awful. Thanks for commenting.
Oscar was out in a time when being different was a death sentence.
His life is as tragic as his art magnificent.
I had this movie on my list, but I am taking it off. Great review!
Thanks a lot. Do not watch it, read his plays instead!!!!
i have read many of his plays, and wandered where we walked as well in person. But thanks for the heads up on this one!
A very sad way to dies and you are right if you cannot make a good film about him then don’t make one at all. |
Thanks a lot for your comment. This movie is horrible
Such a sad life story. Wilde was a great writer.
Thanks a lot for your comment. Yes you are right, his end was sad and he was a great writer
Oscar Wilde was a great writer and poet of his time.
I like to read his works. He was misunderstood in society because of his sexual orientation. His work “The Picture of Dorian Gray” is for me his best work.
The picture of Dorian Gray is an amazing novel. Thanks a lot for your comment.
Every time your text catches my attention.
Greetings.
I never knew this, very sad way to die.
Yes, his final years were very sad. Have you not read an Oscar Wilde play???? His novel The portrait of Dorian Gray is one of the best novels ever written!!!!
