Oscar Wilde is a married playwright who has occasionally indulged his weakness for male suitors. After much toil, Wilde debuts 'The Importance of Being Earnest' in London, and a chat at the theatre with Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas leads to a full-fledged romance. However, this affair leads to a legal dispute with Lord Alfred's oppressive father, the Marquess of Queensberry, and, given the local anti-gay laws, Wilde is jailed. Wilde's vast intellect helps him survive until he regains his freedom.
Wilde is a Drama, History film released in 1997.
10 subtitle releases available in English. 5 releases include Hearing Impaired (HI) subtitles.

00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,080
All right.
''He saw the most wonderful sight.
521
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,120
Through a little hole
in the wall...
522
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,600
the children had crept back
into the garden and were sitting...
523
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,480
on the branches of the trees.
524
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,680
And every tree that he could see,
there was a little child.
525
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,560
The trees were so glad that they--''
526
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:49,320
They covered themselves
with blossoms!
527
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:50,720
Blossoms!
528
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,320
''And were waving their arms gently
above the children's heads.
529
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,960
And the birds were twittering
and singing above them with delight.
530
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,800
And the flowers were looking up
through the grass and laughing.
531
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,840
Oscar, it's time the boys changed,
or we'll miss the train.
532
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,760
Come on, boys.
533
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Papa, can't we stay?
534
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,680
Papa's got to work.
He's got to finish his play.
535
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,320
Yes, poor dear Papa.
536
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,480
Poor Papa.
537
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Poor, poor, poor, poor, poor Papa.
538
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,120
<i>Where is Oscar?
We haven't seen him at all.</i>
539
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Where do you think he is? He's working.
He is a writer, after all.
540
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,720
I hear your father's threatening
to shoot Lord Roseberry.
541
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,400
Really? He usually
prefers the horsewhip.
542
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Says he's been buggering
your brother.
543
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:40,440
Well, Roseberry is Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs...
544
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,960
and Francis is
his private secretary.
545
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,440
Actually, Francis is
about to get engaged.
546
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,720
What's your father
talking about, then?
547
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,960
He's obsessed with sex.
548
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,840
He thinks Oscar's buggering me...
549
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,600
as though I'd allow
anyone to do that.
550
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,360
I'm sick of the country.
551
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,640
Let's get back to London.
552
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,240
What's the point of us living together
if you're always working?
553
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,760
- I have responsibilities-- a family.
- God, not that again!
554
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:32,200
I ask my friends over from Oxford,
and you just disappear.
555
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,280
I'd be better off
staying at my mother's.
556
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,560
- At least she's there.
- You asked me to take this house--
557
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,160
Now I'm bored with it.
558
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,720
- And with you.
- I can't give it up.
559
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,120
It's paid for in advance.
Until I finish my new--
560
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Bosie, dear...
561
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,280
you have beauty,
you have breeding...
562
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,800
and, most glorious of all,
you have youth.
563
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,400
But you are very fantastical
if you think that pleasures...
564
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,960
don't have to be earned
and paid for.
565
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,760
Whenever I want to do anything,
you say you can't afford it...
566
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,120
but you give all those renters
cigarette cases.
567
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:12,280
But I've lavished presents on you!
568
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Every penny I've earned from my play
I have spent on you!
569
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:17,720
I'm sure you've been counting.
570
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,920
You're so mean
and penny-pinching...
571
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,480
and middle-class, all you can
think about is your bank balance.
572
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,520
For God's sake!
This is intolerable!
573
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,960
No gentleman ever has the slightest idea
what his bank balance is!
574
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,040
You're absurd!
575
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,360
Telling everyone
how they ought to live.
576
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,000
You're so vulgar!
577
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,600
I never want
to see you again, ever.
578
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,120
All right, then.
If that's what you want, then you go!
579
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,800
Get out!
580
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,800
<i>''But in the farthest corner
of the garden...</i>
581
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,040
<i>it was still winter, and in it
was standing a little boy.</i>
