BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 20)

In which we end this story.

Thank you to everyone who watched these fragments or will watch them now that we've reached the end of the journey!

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 19)

In which Lord Henry's advances are coldly rejected- I mean- Dorian has decided to become a better person.

No Movie Fragment

Whoops, sorry, late post! But it's alright, because there is no movie fragment this week - or next week, for that matter. (Which is pretty handy for me, because my laptop died on me recently, haha.) As I said before, the movie really doesn't dedicate much time to the James plot line, unfortunately.

See you guys in two weeks for the penultimate chapter though!

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 16)

In which Dorian is attacked by a stranger.

(For anyone with emetophobia - you might want to stop at 1:23, right after James says "And I would've murdered you." You won't miss anything.)

This is a very short one, as the movie unfortunately doesn't spend a lot of time on James and his quest for revenge.

No Movie Fragment Today

The BBC movie didn't include the dinner scene from today's chapter, so there's no fragment this week. See you all next week! :)

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 14)

In which Dorian engages Seduction Mode. It's not very effective.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 13)

In which Basil sees something shocking.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 12)

In which Basil confronts Dorian - and Dorian makes a decision.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 11)

There's no fragment this week, as this chapter's contents don't really lend themselves to being portrayed in a movie. There will be one next week!

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 10)

In which Dorian puts the painting away.

Today's chapter is split up into two parts in the movie, presumably to use their time wisely in a visual medium, where a jump in time has more consequences for the flow of the story: the movie puts Basil's visit from last chapter in between these two fragments.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 9)

In which Basil makes a confession to Dorian.

(You might notice that this fragment does not pick up where Chapter 8 left off. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything: the movie changes the order of events a bit between chapters 9 and 10. You will see the part that leads up to this fragment next week, when it takes place in the book.)

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 8)

In which Lord Henry is the bearer of bad news.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 7)

In which Dorian is angry at Sibyl.

(We are again spared the offensive Jewish character, who has been scrapped from the movie entirely.)

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 6)

In which the three friends prepare for the theatre - and some are happier about Dorian's engagement than others.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 5)

In which we meet Sibyl Vane and her family.

[bbc-dorian-gray]

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 4)

In which Dorian tells us about an actress.

(You'll notice this segment takes place right after the last one, rather than a month later; this compression of events occurs multiple times in the movie to make everything flow better on TV.) We are sadly deprived of Lady Wotton, but luckily spared the antisemitism on Dorian's part.

BBC Dorian Gray (Chapter 3)

In which we listen to old rich people talk about life.
