Dorian Gray (2009)

Dorian Gray

Dorian Gray, a corrupted young man managed to keep his youthful beauty eternally after having his portrait painted. however the painting gradually revealed the ugliness of his soul. he had to protect it, allowing no one to discover his secret. this is a tale of power, greed n self-destruction, n the combination power of deceit, drug n sin.

finds him familiar? this is the exact Prince Caspian from Narnia. though slightly eerie, it was nonetheless very interesting to see what beauty can do to a person. a few persuasive statements n nudges managed to brainwash him, pushing him towards a corrupted lifestyle, which eventually destroy himself n those worthy of it. it was truly a beautiful tale of karma brought upon oneself.
