Dorian Gray & Basil Hallward | Beautiful Crime

'Together we've created something beautiful'

Recently I finished rereading Dorian Gray and watched the movie (yes, I haven't before) so naturally I had to vid it. I felt a bit dissapointed when I realised that no one really vids it anymore and Ben Barnes's character appears more as young Sirius Black than Dorian himself. And don't get me wrong. I think he is the perfect fancast and I find it really coo than even Ben Barnes knows about it. But I still find Dorian Gray undervidded. So I had to change that, even if I feel not many people will watch but still.

With that out of the way, I have three videos planned for this fandom, but it will probbaly take a bit, as I started a job and know my time for vidding is reduced to the days when I don't, that is if you don't count doing other things like house chores and stuff lol. Now onto the vid, I didn't know which one to make first, but I chose Dorian and Basil, since this is how it all started. As f up as it is, I have always found their story fassinating from the first time reading the book, andalso very tragic. I mean you have the artist/muse trope where one loved too much and the other who loved himself. And it ends, how it ends. I would like to dedicate this to Oscar Wilde, although I am not sure there is youtube on the after life.

From what I read online he intended Basil'w confession to be even more evident but the original version was not published. I think he would have been pleased with the adaptation although it does change some things, but I think it keeps the esence of the book.
