We all like a bit of the good life

-
Some the money,
some the drugs,
other the sex game,
the glamour,
or the fame.

But me, oh, I'm different.
Why?
Because I want the fucking lot!

Dorian Gray

First, we read the book
Penguin Classics 10 bucks

Then, we see the movie
DVD 10 bucks

20 bucks buys you 3 days of entertainment

The story is about a young man who's portrait ages instead of him
The portrait ages for him
The portrait also feels for him
He is spared the feeling of guilt
He is spared the feeling of remorse
Resulting in IMMORTALITY

The story will alter your perception of Immortality and Perfection

The movie was more entertaining though.
In the book: The artist was merely stabbed
In the movie: The artist was stabbed & CHOPPED into 7/8 pieces & stuffed into a chest which was thrown into the river
Sooo Mona Fandey right?
