I'd always loved Dorian Gray in theory. It's one of those things that really is perfect, in theory ; asking should artists make distinctions between vice and virtue, and philosophizes (almost) the disintegration and shallowness of beauty because everything looks perfect from faraway. Roald Dahl sort of touched on the concept too, how your inner self eventually wears out on your outside face. I read it in year 7 and I loved it, but then I read it again and I realised there were so many things I had missed. Like the blatantly obvious homosexual underlines with Basil and the Lord.
"I can’t tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like, and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe, I can’t breathe but I still fight while I can fight, as long as the wrong feels right it’s like I’m in flight"
“Yet everybody just feels like they can relate, I guess
words are a mother fucker, they can be great. Or they can degrade, or even worse
they can teach hate. It’s like these kids hang on every single statement we
make.”

Jim Carrey is one of my favourite actors. He was in The Truman Show, Yes Man, and of course, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. For me, it's the movie that makes the actor.
