Define love. The Catholic definition is "willing the good of the other". However, there is no wrongful act that justifies a moral outcome, also a profound Catholic teaching. Promiscuity being an immoral act. I'm glad to hear Fry voice that they stopped a physical relationship early on. Whether there was a such a relationship ever, we're not entirely sure. Wilde, a yearning Catholic all his life once stated the he wanted to die Catholic as he could never live as one. But his father forbade it. He formally converted to the Catholic faith before he died.

If you've read any of his work, you'd know that Oscar was completely at war with himself and knew all of his decadent, homoerotic acts were, in the most literal sense, completely evil.

Try not to forget who Wilde and Winston Churchill had in common: Bosie. He shagged the one in bed and the other in court (libel -- WSC won.)

Bosie led Oscar the same way Yoko dominated John. And we'll never know what each of those artists could have produced without the wrought iron choke collars around their necks they claimed to love.

What a crappy movie. An imaginative screen writer would have adapted Wilde's plays to make a charming comedy. The 1960 Peter Finch portrayal was superior as a movie. I like the part where Finch (as Wilde) uses a pistol to defend himself against the Marquis of Queensbury and his thug.

British society is the most perverse society that has ever been, a rotted class system still in full throttle, a smouldering Aristocracy that has no compunction for apology and endless corruption. A hideously ruinous plundering of the so called colonies, and worse still , The demonic way it has dealt with its otherworldly evils with homosexuality...including Alan Turning and countless millions as well. Even that screaming Harpie Margaret Thatcher was part of this poisonous realm. hopefully Brexit will lead to an independent Ireland and most definitely Scotland, : make no mistake about it - the ghost of Oscar Wilde's and all who were destroyed by this insipid culture will be blowing French Horns in acknowledgement. laughing. oh and fuck off Prince Andrew and the rest of those lizards. 🦖 .

Brian Gilbert has a lump of pig dung for a brain - nobody was a Cultural Marxist, nor a Behaviorist in the 1890's. Listening to Gilbert you might think Wilde and Douglas were never off their mobile phones planning to jet off to faraway places. POSING!!!!! as a Sodomite - PRETENDING to be a Sodomite - Gilbert's remake of the 1960 movie is ridiculous, trite nonsense. Today Wilde and Douglas would be sent to prison for ten years, and would be required to sign the sexual offenders register for the rest of their lives. What they were doing has never been legalised.

I had the privilege of hearing Stephen Fry this summer at the Niagara Shaw Festival. He delivered three monologues, a trilogy based on Greek mythology, Gods, Monsters and Mortals. Each took nearly two hours and there was not a note or aide memoire to be seen. It could not have been written and learned beforehand for he took questions etc from the audience. His delivery was superbe, his mastery of the English language was outstanding and his presence was such that only he could command. I had the pleasure of lunch in a local restaurant after, when I met Mr Fry. He was with a small party and I didn't want to intrude. Nevertheless, we chatted for five minutes, I reminded him of his Somerset cousins with whom I went to school. Then I left, not wanting to interrupt his lunch party further. I almost skipped back to my table! I'd spoken with Oscar Wilde!!

I've put the faces of Oscar Wilde and Stephen Fry next to each other, and there is a passing resemblance between the two. Fry plays him beautifully, and if reincarnation is real I'd say that Stephen Fry was once Oscar Wilde himself in another life. I'd say Stephen Fry is Oscar Wilde reborn into the 20th century.

Yes, certainly a wide psychopathic streak, no doubt encouraged by the money and privilege but later in life he felt quite sorry for what he'd done. Basically he used Oscar to get back at Queensberry, his father, who had been cruel to Bosie.
