- Stephen Fry stars as playwright and larger-than-life personality Oscar Wilde in this lush historical drama based on the late Richard Ellmann's definitive biography of one of London's most prolific writers and orators. The story traces Wilde's rise to fame -- from his marriage to Constance (Jennifer Ehle) to his sweeping, torrid affair with a young Oxford graduate, Lord Alfred Douglas (Jude Law), that brought about his imprisonment and downfall.

Can we talk about the gorgeousness of Michael Sheen? He's so cute.
Young Jude Law absolutely captures the soul of Bosie. A film worth reliving
a backstabbing son of a bitch?
I do agree with you on regard to this film: it is absolutely brilliant
"he was gay and his marriage was fake" im gonna introduce u to a potentially groundbreaking concept: bisexuality
This is a good lesson to everyone so stereotypical, painting everything in black and white.
Gopnik approves. Serbia Strong
why paint it in black and white when you can paint it in blue, purple, and pink?
it's very true that that often was the reality for many gay men of that era, but most sources say that oscar wilde was very much in love with his wife.
concept: a beard
old movie trailers are so weird, they don't need to talk and explain everything
HydrangeaDragon
That's cause people could still concentrate on things longer than a minute back then :D
The internet age has ruined our ability to focus on things.
+Zeitgeist6 It hasn't ruined mine. + What does that have to do with what HydrangeaDragon said? I don't see any connection
They're still focusing for the same amount of time, just without a voice over. Needing some voice over guy to explain everything in the movie sounds more like they are dense and can't work it out with a trailer that doesn't directly tell them everything.
In reality though, it's just because that's how they made trailers back then since they probably didn't know how to say what the movie was about without directly telling people in the trailer with a voice over..
Now we use parts from the movie itself to explain the movie which is better and more smart and creative (unless they show way too much like they often do lately.. I always stop trailers early as soon as I know I wanna watch it). I'm very glad they don't ruin most trailers with shitty voice overs these days. Especially the ones back then! my god they were bad lol.
@@ollib9320 you'll understand if you concentrate
I think is very cool and even chic in a way...
The first thing I said when I saw a photograph of Oscar Wilde was "oh my god, he looks so much like Stephen Fry, he could play him in a film"
... Then the girl next to me said "he does, you imbecile" 😂
Actually, it was the other way round, wasn't it...?
Jude Law would have been the perfect cast for Dorian Gray !
I discovered Michael Sheen through "Good Omens" and that led me to his earlier works. What a beautiful angel child.
To those who say that Oscar Wilde's marriage was 'fictitious' I suggest you read about his life rather than just watching a film. He was passionately in love with his wife and also sexually attracted to young men. His wife and mother absolutely supported him and his mother warned him to leave England before the trial. Had he done so he would have been able to live out his life with his family. Tragically his wife and mother both died while he was in prison and he was never allowed to see his children again. Lord Alfred Douglas also abandoned him.
No his mother told him to stay and that she would never speak to again if he fled.
Constance died after he was out of prison. And she divorced him after prison b/c he would not stay away from Bosie. She died shortly thereafter while being operated on. Wilde fairly well abandoned Constance though she did not ever really give up on him. He is claimed to have siad that women were like old dishrag to him sexually, when a friend Frank Hariis suggested he take up with a few whores after prison. Wilde is a very complex character: genius, artist and poseur, it is hard to say just one thing about him.
Wilde also told his friends that once his wife had children, he found her repulsive. And oh yeah he spent gobs of money on Bosie and young men but left his wife and children destitute......great husband and father.
I've read the biography of his life by richardellman and his mother actually told him to stay in England and stand trial
@@ross8534 that was Alfred Douglas
Not only that, but also took advantage of him using him for his money, and was emotionally abusive to him. But Whenever Wilde wanted to break up, he threatened with suicide.
_When you think 'young Stephen Fry would have made a great Oscar Wilde' and it turns out that this film exists_
For Oscar Wilde fans, I highly recommend the book I am currently reading called Built by Books, which is a biography of the great writer - through his literary tastes. Very intriguing and it has brought to me a greater understanding and appreciation of the great historical figure. :)
I'm glad they rarely ever do the voice over trailers these days.
Stephen Fry was born to play Oscar Wilde, he really was... I adore them both.
I happened to watch the movie for the first time today, November 30, 2020 --the 120th Anniversary of Oscar Wilde's death. It was by complete chance.
The movie, I thought, was so very different from all its predecessors because Stephen Fry looked so much like Wilde and maybe even sounded like him. Certainly a more sonorous voice than his is hard to come by. The acting was superb all round, and the script, cinematography, music, direction and editing were all masterful. Thanks for uploading.
Oscar Wilde's tragedy, I believe, was not his being gay at a time when many other men (and women) were also gay in closeted, but in his inability to see the vacuity of Bosie and the destructiveness of his conduct & history. One cannot imagine what Oscar Wilde found so wonderful about him. More importantly, Wilde, -- who was a master of observing society and many of its ridiculous quirks-- could not step aside for one moment and see that Bosie was exactly as ridiculous as all the others but with a mean streak to boot.
This is really what Greek Tragedies are in essence. The movie truly brought forth this tragedy to near perfection.
Oh, I discovered Michael Sheen for myself from this brilliant piece.
Same here. Recognised him from this piece with Carey Mulligan and his more recent one with David Tennant. Both extremely watchable.
Я тоже
Shame, I had to wait till Kingdom of Heaven and then New Moon...
Rated R? Why?
There is no violence. There is no profanity. There are no graphic sex scenes.
Oh yeah, it's about gay people. 🙄
🤣
Homophobia
@@catherinehammond5245 Bingo!
Ok
I- I think you’ll find it does have a couple of sex scenes lmao - one between Robbie and Wilde and another between Bosie and some ‘Rent boys’ (male prostitutes). A genuine question, have you actually watched the film?
ughhh jude law is just as pretty as the real bosie 😩😩😩
Some of the scenes might be considered to be graphic, but on the whole I found the film to be very tasteful and sensitive biopic, and Stephen Fry absolutely stole the show as the lead actor.
I am very fond of Oscar Wilde, he's my favorite writer. I have nothing against Stephen Fry but I can't see Oscar Wilde in him, and his hairstyle makes his head look too big to be Oscar Wilde especially as a young man before his marriage. Apart from that I think he wrote the Picture of Dorian Grey before getting married. We are also not sure about his being seduced at the time and the manner presented in the movie, I just feel that the scene was just inserted in the movie for commercial reasons. I also know from De Profound, in Wilde's own writing that his wife visited him only to break the news of his mother's death, but he never mentioned that they spoke about being together again nor about his nature as a gay. There is also a lack of sympathy for Oscar Wilde the person, how much he suffered after his release. This part is so abrupt, ending the movie with a clumsy happy ending that he and Douglas are back together and writing down the rest in a line. Oscar actually suffered from being alone and living under a fake name and being deprived of seeing his boys and then his tragic illness that caused his death.
This was a vanity project for Fry, who wanted to fuse himself with Wilde for posterity. He was nothing like the person here.
Judging by the trailer, this film looks incredibly promising.
Haha they included like five seconds of Orlando Blooms minor part.
Hi
Stephen Fry is so lucky!!! Jude Law and Michael Sheen!!!
This is the most adorable captivating beWILDEring movie I ve ever seen. About love. Most subtle witty script, exceptional photography and directing. Stephen and Jude just are Oscar and Bosie! Superb casting!
Fantastic performance by Stephen with a superb support cast.
Oscar Wilde was irish for gods sake not English
Joe Byrne Wilde spoke the Queen's English after he left Ireland for Oxford while still in his early twenties.
I dont understand this comment, English was spoken in Ireland at this time
Yes, Kyra you are right, but he had an Irish accent of course. At Oxford he took elocution lessons and ever after spoke very careful Queen's English: which means with an aristocratic accent, no trace of Irish lilt or working class speech. Thanks for asking.
+Marion Wittenbreer oooooh okay, thank you for the explanation!
Joe Byrne He was largely Anglo-Irish, which is, quite namely, Irish of English descent. For most of his ancestors were of English origin who settled Ireland around the Dublin region, back all throughout the end of the 1600's till the very end of the 1700's, granted one of his great grandmother's was an Irish Catholic of ancient Gaelic blood, while one of his other grandparents was of mostly Scottish Lowland origin, thus making Oscar at least one third Celtic. Yet much of his bloodlines and lineage could be traced right back to England, yet his famed and rapier styled wit was Irish, along with his outlook on many things. And his heart beat green!!
I should have known Michael Sheen was in this one.
I always wanted to watch this Movie.
Near my school there is a very small secondhand shop.
Almost everytime I go there, I look at the movie section.
They have like twenty DVDs there.
I always looked for this movie.
It was so overwhelming when I found it today;)
Awwwww! Michael Sheen! ♥️ my darling!
Great movie - Love Stephen Fry
i'm glad i'm not the only one thinking that. there were so many beautiful moments of acting in this movie and the trailer just kind of steamrolls through it. makes it look really dry I think.
What a cast and Stephen Fry is Oscar Wilde in Wilde. Excellent production!
Just found this out right now. And I never regretted watching it
is it good?
Where can you watch it?
After reading Oscar Wilde's letters, he seems to really have loved to the end, and attracted to his wife in the beginning, He could've been bi. Also the way he discribed Bosie's moods, threats, and antics, describe Borderline personality to me.
The Casting of this film is PERFECTION.
Whenever I see the character Robbie Ross I can't help laughing, because Micheal Sheen looks so similar to how he did in Twilight.. Unfortunately, because of that, when I first saw it my mind went "It's Aro talking to Wilde!", and I started laughing, and now I always remember that and laugh..
@Number1EcoGirl yup that's Michael Sheen! He's awesome!
Bloody fantastic and the actors fit the parts so well ......well done! Hoorah!!!! 👏👌
Where could you watch it?
@@strangereindeeer3666 Amazon Prime
@@strangereindeeer3666 So sorry only just noticed this 😢
Beautiful film
Looks lovely. I love Stephen Fry and really admire my ancestor Wilde, so this has just become a must-see for me.
Plus, pretty gay love interests :D
sh- wait- wha- what do you mean oscar wilde is your ancestor?!?
@@fhpurcell5364 Your astonishment is not singular, my friend. Though it now stands 11 years since the original comment, I do hope for some elaboration.
Jude Law is gorgeous
the casting of stephen fry fits ironically well
Star casting!
A great cast for a great film
This was a wilde and fabulous movie!
have I found myself a new favourite movie-
Beautiful, beautiful Jude Law.........
what was the christmas ass music in the background it made me feel very conflicted
How the flying f*ck did I learn about this only yesterday?
learn what?
The realization of one's person in life is the primary aim. However, unfortunately one realizes oneself through pain, hard work, and suffering, as well as pleasure.
Ok... I saw a picture of Oscar Wilde once and I JUST NOW had the thought "Stehpen Fry would actually make a good Oscar Wilde, he sort of resembles him. I gotta google that and see if people agree!" And low and behold - I discover someone actually made a movie in 1997 with Stehpen Fry as Oscar Wilde. That's funny.
I know that this film will drag me through emotional coals and yet I have to see it
Michael Sheen was so young ! 0-0
This movie was clam and it got Wilde and even Wilder and in the end its the Wildest !!!
As if, Stephen Fry is so out of Jude Law's league.
Tare Suriel I agree
Tare Suriel thank you for understanding it!
Amongst all the other comments, this one speaks to me the most 😂👌
I agreeeee
I agree. Bosie didn't deserve Oscar Wilde's attentions anyways.
incredible cast, I must investigate
Hahahaha, our dear Orlando wasn't even mentioned!
you see the problem is that Stephen Fry actually LOOKS a fuckinG LOT like Oscar Wilde. When I first printed out a picture of oscar wilde, my brain automatically went, bugger me this he looks like stephen effing fry.
Stephen Fry was quite good in this, unlike most biographies of quotable people, it is not made up of Wilde being witty and quotable.
In which place i could see this film?
The suffering of children in situations like this, is often ignored, & thus perpetuated.
Exelente
A century we were supposed to aviod -- the eighteenth century and the Enlightenment.
I watched it and yes some are a little graphic, not really that bad however in my opinion ^^ and a for the topic and the acting it is all very well done.
Suuuuuuch a good movie.
You probably mean Peter Finch in "Trials of Oscar Wilde" (1960)
Micheal sheen always looks like a vampire to me ....🤣
@achrismascarol Thank you! You're too kind!
Stephen Fry has an uncanny resemblance with the real life Oscar Wilde.
Stephen Fry has an uncanny resemblance to the renowned satirist dramatist Oscar Wilde. Jude is handsome beyond measure
i think stephen fry is oscar wilde reincarnated
Hmmm - a century from now who will the Oscar Wilde's of our age be?
Accettabile pellicola ispirata ad una storia vera.
Orlando BLOOM!!!
@evelo yes it is
restricted, really?
strong nudity, brief offensive language towards the character of wilde.
true true
Si, soy el comentario en español que buscabas.
Hola sabes donde se puede ver la película en español? :DD
Omggggg my aziraphale was here
and a very young Orlando Bloom!
What's with these trailers being R-restricted, even though they have no offensive material in them :(
This isn't telling his full story.
Wilde converted to Catholicism before his death saying:
"I wish to die as a Catholic but I could never live as one".
He could have, but it's difficult.
JUDE LAW!!! 💦💦
@TsukiTaijouKami and Michael Sheen ha, ha!!
But why does this dude look exactly like Oscar Wilde...am I wrong?
I barely remember this movie growing up
I think it's one of the greatest movie with good acting and music and everything. Though, I still can't believe Oscar Wilde was gay, for some reasons...
I would say Michael Sheen was brilliant playing Robbie and I adore him (and his smile^^).
By the way, I read somewhere that it was the first appearance of Orlando Bloom... Who could ever think that his début would be a rent boy! :D
..right.
Did you ever do birdcage
ước gì có viếtup
is that sacha baron cohen at 0:17
yeah I agree. I have seen PG 13 stuff with some pretty intense content but the thing is that it was hetro. I hazard to guess the movie really isn't that bad at all.
Number1EcoGirl yes that is him
1:12 おでん屋さん
Jude Law???? was in this????????
I can think of nothing to say to this but 'lmfao'.
@StephLovzTwilight At the time he was both.
reminds me of call me by your name slightly the fact that they have to remain hidden as a couple
ella xo Wilde sweetie im so sorry..
I’m guessing you’re a fan of handsome young gay boys then!
My only problem is that Stephen Fry didn't use an Irish accent.
+DrZaius75 My only problem is that he's not attractive. Wilde wasn't ugly, at least not in my perspective
+sageandbone Stephen Fry isn't ugly, he just has a crooked nose!
+DrZaius75 He spoke the Queen's English after Oxford.
Maybe because Wilde didn't speak in one
DrZaius75 ""Upon entering Oxford the first thing I forgot was my Irish accent.""
And lest you forget, Oscar Wilde came from the Anglo-Irish bastions of Dublin, and was no doubt as heavily influenced by certain English ways and English culture as he was deeply immersed in Irish culture, lore and customs, granted his wit and sense of ironic and paradoxical humor was Irish all the way, while his heart beat green.
Though within the Dublin environs of his youth English as much as Irish culture was quite prominent, and much of Oscar's lineage and heritage could be traced right back to England, of the largely landed gentry style, back all throughout the latter half of the 1600's till the very end of the 1700's.
Yet as I typed above, Oscar was Irish first and foremost, his unique, quirky and brilliant sense of humor, his general outlook on things, his nationalistic sense of pride, and in how he truly felt about himself. This amazingly brilliant, flamboyantly iconoclastic and hilariously witty Irish lad of mostly English blood running through his veins (with some Scots and a tad of ancient Irish blood as well).
Irish heart, Irish sensibilities, Irish pride, Irish perspective, yet English DNA, not that that greatly influenced or affected his raging, surging, green drenched Irishness one iota, as in spirit Oscar was as Irish as the land itself.
jude law!!!
Bonkers that the trailer itself is rated R with barely a roundabout reference to homosexual love.
HELP ESTA ES LA QUE ME APARECIO EN TW?
