Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray is written by Oscar Wilde in 1890.
and I saw the movie "Dorian Gray" (2009) recently.
The story is about a young beautiful man, Dorian Gray. An artist feels fabulously interested in Dorian's beauty, and he draws Dorian's portrait. Then Dorian hopes that the picture the portrait would grow old instead of him. And his dream comes true. He was innocence before, but his mind is getting ugly, and he does whatever he wants. He keeps his youth and beauty. On the other hand, the portrait is getting older and ugly more and more...

This movie shows that tragedy of Dorian Gray, and people's weak mind.
I guess aging is kind of eternal theme for human especially women. However, nobody can escape from "aging", and if they never get older that is also really wired and scary like Dorian in the movie.
Moreover, through this story, I rethink about desire and deformation of human. Everybody has their own desire, and they really wish to have what they want. However, to reach at their dream, effort is required. That is the most important thing!!
