Jude Law Movie:

Wilde [Region 2] Reviews:
wrong edition - American insted of British
2009-11-08 - I received an American edition of the Wilde DVD - which is incompatible with our Danish DVD machines. Usually, when I order from Amazon.uk I get the British edition which causes no problem - I don't know what happened this time?

Treasured and hard to find this item almost anywhere
2009-09-12 - I have, without success, been looking for this note while movie for a number of years to no avail.
The acting is awesome along with that the movie is based on historical facts.
First rate service, thank you and at reasonable price.

Good Entertainment
2009-02-09 - I had already seen the movie years ago. Always liked it and still do, even though now I see Stephen Fry's performance as not so brilliant. But it's still worth seeing it, especially for Vanessa Redgrave's performance. Superb as always!

FLAWLESS
2008-12-25 - ... I see this flawlessly brilliant film through the eyes of a multimedia creatively gifted 57 year old Gay man, and it deserves my highest reccomendation. Above all, Life has taught me that if you haven't really lived an experience, you can not really understand it. I understand this film all too well, and it's as blindingly brilliant to me as staring at the noonday sun, remembering so many full moons. History has hidden the nevertheless relentless facts that Gay Men slammed Western "Civilization" with Democracy (Aristogeiton & Harmodius), The Renaissance (the usual gang of suspects), The Enlightenment (Sir Francis Bacon, and The Digital Information and Communications Technology Regvolution which finally globally liberated Free Speech (Sir Alan Turing). At every turn, we have been Humanity's Conscience and Salvation against the systemic mass-murderous stupidity, ignorance, cowardice and evil which, by 2008, has reached inevitable Endgame.

Oscar Wilde's greatest triumph, above so very many others, was his ineluctable love of a spoiled young aristocrat. This film explicates the sinuous Gordian Knot which had to eventually unravel, dropping the Sword of Damocles through his throat. To have risked one's own Life and sanity for such a passionate Love is wholly beyond the comprehension of those who have not lived that experience, much less lived through it more than once, as have I. At the moment when we each inevitably realise that Death has tapped us on the shoulder, it is the things we did not do that we regret.

A Life lived as Art Itself bequeaths a Gestalt far beyond the sum of its individual components; mainstream people can merely manage a laboratory-created Chatham emerald envious green. Oscar Wilde is a stellar component of the constellation of My Tribe's Heritage and Legacy, which shall forever surmount, well, what is always better surmounted. Oscar, We Love Ye ... Huzzahs all 'round.

A Reliable Version
2008-08-22 - Brian Gilbert's "Wilde" stands as a realiable version of the Irish writer's later years. Wilde's relationship with Alfred Douglas, Robert Ross, his wife Constance and many other characters is consistent, and agrees with reports left by contemporaries who knew well Oscar Wilde and his circle. Good performances by Stephen Fry, Jude Law, Michael Sheen and Tom Wilkinson. The latter, as the marquis of Queensberry, is outstanding - although portraying such a clichéed character is obviously a much easier task than, say, the ambiguity of Wilde himself or the never too well explained behaviour of Constance Wilde. Art direction is superb and manages to take us into the very rooms where action takes place in a most natural manner. Vanessa Redgrave makes a short apparition, though she fails to capture Wilde's mother eccentricities properly, as well as the influence she had on her son's life.
