"Wilde" (1997), directed by Brian Gilbert, is a biographical drama that tells the story of the life of renowned playwright Oscar Wilde, focusing particularly on his relationships and the scandal that led to his downfall.

The film opens with a portrayal of Wilde as a celebrated and charming figure in late 19th-century London, admired for his wit, his writing, and his flamboyant personality. He is a prominent figure in society, known for his sharp wit and provocative ideas, which contrast with the more conservative views of the time.

Wilde’s life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with Lord Alfred Douglas, known as "Bosie." Their passionate and tumultuous relationship leads to scandal and eventual public disgrace. The film explores Wilde’s inner turmoil, as he struggles between his love for Bosie and his obligations to his wife, Constance, and their children.

As Wilde’s affair with Bosie becomes known, his personal and professional life begins to unravel. The film shows how Wilde’s relationship with Bosie becomes increasingly destructive, with Bosie’s behavior pushing Wilde toward legal battles and the eventual charges of "gross indecency" that lead to his imprisonment.

The film culminates with Wilde’s time in prison, depicting his emotional and physical decline as he faces both external punishment and internal reflection. Wilde’s exile from society and his eventual death are marked by his enduring legacy, despite the personal cost of his artistic and romantic pursuits.

"Wilde" is a poignant exploration of the price of fame, the complexity of love, and the harsh realities of societal rejection, all framed through the life of one of history's most celebrated and controversial figures.
