意想不到粉上Robert “Robbie” Ross(。 很久不吃这样可以说有点痴情的人设,还是historical figure……
读了一些资料和王尔德跟他的通信,内心不觉得像部分Bosie粉的部分言论说的那样,Robbie是个腹黑或者有心计的人。Robbie更多的是成熟和理性,王尔德不会爱这样的人,太显然不过,这样的人容易爱上(admire or truly fall in love with)王尔德也是自然。
大概是电影先入为主,给我的第一印象也有加成,MS演的Robbie真好啊。题外话一句,电影里的叫床声也好好听(。
想了解R.R.可以看wiki,写的比较全了。然后搜资料的时候,发现隔壁屯儿的blog有人根据他的wiki写了一篇屁股特别歪的R.R.小传……我将这种现象私自命名为地缘性亲切(。
话说回来其实Robbie根本算不上噶拿大人啊,出生那一年在法国,第二年因为爸爸回多伦多工作才回去,第三年爸爸去世,妈妈带着全家去了伦敦。之后也没怎么回过噶拿大,在老王入狱期间,他也是选择去法国避风头。可能在噶拿大呆的时间还没有年轻时去北美巡回演讲的老王多(。
屁股很歪的Robbie吹小传:https://torontodreamsproject.blogspot.ca/2010/09/oscar-wildes-first-gay-lover.html?m=1
说来岔口那资料楼我当年还跟过来着,但是抱着看sjb美人八卦的心态……包括电影也是以前多少拖着看过,根本没注意到Robbie这个人啊!只顾着看你球了!
天哪我他妈一个脸盲又把1w老师和你球脸记混了!!!!!!刚刚才想起来天鹅绒是1w老师演的(。
anyway重温了一下岔口楼,对于“王尔德和罗比之间只有友谊和钱”这种关系不太认可……好吧地缘性假熟,我屁股也很歪。我觉得他们有一瞬间是彼此爱过的,平静且可爱,老王晚年给罗比写的信回忆罗比教他骑自行车:
I am going to try a bicycle. I have never forgotten the lesson you so kindly gave me—even my leg remembers it.
这对在我眼里的情感,就是这段话里所窥见的那样。可能永远不会有自深深处的爱与恨,也完全够不上最优秀的作家对艺术和美的献身追求,但能够看到生活的坦率和真实。

“You’ll kill yourself, Oscar,” he cried, “you know the doctors said absinthe was poison to you!” Oscar stopped on the sidewalk: “And what have I to live for, Bobbie?” he asked gravely. And Ross looking at him and noting the wreck — the symptoms of old age and broken health — could only bow his head and walk on with him in silence. What indeed had he to live for who had abandoned all the fair uses
///
He had not only paid off all Oscar Wilde’s debts; but he had managed to remit thousands of pounds yearly to his children, and had established his popularity on the widest and surest foundation.
///
At once Ross sent the son away, and when the sextons were about to use their shovels, he ordered them to desist, and descending into the grave, moved the body with his own hands into the new coffin in loving reverence.(大哭
///
Those who hold our mortal vesture in respect for the sake of the spirit will know how to thank Robert Ross for the supreme devotion he showed to his friend’s remains: in his case at least love was stronger than death.

老王和波西好了之后,常数阿姨不给钱和罗比不给他钱,波西他妈不给波西钱……Is Robbie the male version of his wife or mom???
