This is third and last part of my video about Lord Alfred Douglas. Has few video clips and many rare photos from Lord's later life. Short clips from 1997. movie "Wilde" included. Music Noel Coward, Vivaldi, Mozart.
@Nadianva I think he died bitter and sad man, completely alone and forgotten :((( With time I think his love for Oscar became hatred and his past just a nightmare for him....That is why he became a Catholic, hoping his sins (or "sins" because he was homosexual, deeply ashamed) will be forgiven. I feel really sorry for him, because he was a dreamer, and society was not rewarding dreamers. Society was pushing their heads in the mud.
He died in love with Oscar, but he thought his beauty was going to last forever, he tried to do a normal life with a wife and a son, his wife was rich because that's the way he loved to live and the poor baby was frustrated and sick..... I said this, 'cause Wilde said "Fiction is: good people get a happy end, bad people get a bad end" Wilde was wrong.... this guy was mean and his life didn't finish nice... this georgeus guy deserved all this, Oscar was finally his true love!!
Bosie did leave Wilde about 600 pounds when he left him in Naples. xP He also supported Wilde during the time that they lived in Naples. But other than that. It's an awesome video. Kudos to you for making it :D
Congratulations . A very well put together and crafted series. And that beautifull Ivor Novello song to draw it to close ..Oscar would like it very much.
Beautiful video about a man full of paradoxes....i'm reading his biography written by douglas murray.He had to live with the huge shadow of wilde upon him.Sometimes proud of it;sometimes spiting on the memory of mr melmoth....We have to put this story in his context.The promulgation of the henry labouchere's admendment,wilde was a target,a symbole.....douglas was a tormented soul....émotionnaly submerged by the hate of his father(who deserve it),submerged by the aftermaths of the wilde 's trial....I don't want to judge him,he was inside a maelstrom........;merci pour cette belle vidéo.......
In this movie the love seems to cross more than gender boundaries but parental and social status boundaries, reflects the confused psychology of both men.
@doloreshaze1935 you wrote it in a beautiful way!, you are right, he had no happy ending.... I remember the way Wilde wrote about RELIGION in De Profundis...he said it was not necessary but he died catholic too... he needed it!, God! I wish I could live close to him, I would do anything to see a theater play with Oscar at the end saying "thank you" I love his heart so much!! thanks for your comment!!
There is a set of photographs of Bosie taken by Howard Coster in the 1940s which reveal how much he'd changed from the beautiful youth to the embittered old man he became. Interestingly, in one of the set Bosie is smiling and you see a very different side to him, as they say, the camera never lies. Also, he's buried down the road from me in the middle of Crawley which is not widely known.
i am astounded that you were able to include a song from my favorite film, gosford park, and my favorite writer-oscar wilde in the same video, bravo! thanks so much for sharing this video, cheers from san diego
Lovely song...he does .ot strike me as classically beautiful at all, but who knows... so he ended mad and destitute then . Did Oscar's wife desert him had she no money either. Did oscar not receive royalties from his work So very sad.
Having read so much about both of them I think that he was a JUDAS, he was gay he married a lesbian and was someone completely with morals or conscience...I understand without morals but not conscience?...although both he and OW were great writers they both let their own sexual and private desires control their lives...at the end of the day everyone will do what they want to do and they both did it to excess!
@@klevaklevini7036 I did find it moving, something drew me to visit his grave, I don't know what it was as I have never been inclined to do it before. I suppose just imagining that this was the last resting place of a man who so affected Oscar's life and even history itself. Who knows what gems we may be enjoying if Oscar's genius hadn't been so cruelly ended. I met a guy there who was cutting the grass in the church and asked him if he knew where Lord Alfred Douglas was buried. "Bosie?", he replied, "of course, this way". And we chatted for ages, he was very knowledgeable about him and many others buried there. He is well worth seeking out if you do ever go. Good luck.
@@ivandunne6493 Thank you for your answer, It should has been a very sweet and interesting, and ,at the same time, bitter experience! I think Bosie is wrongly hated by people Who don’t know his background, his family history…the complexity of this poet is great and, in his own way, he was such a modern and unconventional man. By the way, I wanna see his grave a day!!
@@klevaklevini7036 I hope you get to see it. I live in London so is easy for me, of course I have seen Oscar's house in Tite Street. I do want to see the inside of the church where Oscar was married some time, although I have driven past it many times. It's hard to fully imagine what really occurred between Oscar and Bosie, because history can blur so many important parts, but it is an incredible story. For Oscar to go from hugely popular to wholly despised in just a few days is too horrid to contemplate. How I would love to be able just to step back in time and feel the atmosphere. Many of the houses that Oscar and Bosie visited are still there. I actually worked a few doors away from The Albermarle Club in Dover Street, London, without even knowing it. I intend to return to that part of London and maybe touch the railing outside that have appeared in some drawings of Oscar, I know it sounds silly, but I just have to do it!
@@ivandunne6493 I can understand your passion, It’s anything but Silly!! I would do the same, if I lived in London!😄😄 You are so lucky to live and work near these buildings so "representative" of their history! I would like to do a kind of “tour” along their favorite english places, including Goring, Brighton, Hove and Oxford, to experience a little the magic and the suggestion of such atmospheres !! I had no idea that the house on Tite Street could be visited, is it used as a museum?
@doloreshaze1935 Very good. I see you have several pics of Bosie that I don't. Who is the man in the photo at 4.22 ? I don't think is Bosie, perhaps Raymond? Thanks again.
