Saw one of thoses post of Grantaire and Enjolras through the ages as different classical couples that I usually love and someone goes Basil and Dorian and: absolutly not.
Now don't get me wrong Grantaire and Basil 100%. Basil has less vices but they are both rambly soft artists pinning over their muse even as their muse destroys them.
But Enjolras and Dorian? Is not even about Dorian being a bad person because I could see Enjolras beliving in the wrong things somehow and becaming awfull, he is capable of being terrible. Is that Enjolras is defined by his stuborness, his undying faith in what he belives. Dorian talks to Lord Dickface for one day and is already starting to feel that maybe empathy and just not being a dick to people is overated and that his only value is being pretty. He is the most easily swayed person ever. If Dorian was in the Barricade he would talk to Javert for five minutes and send all his friends to die as he joined the nacional guard.

Listen. The Picture of Dorian Gray should not be hard to adapt. Drag Ben Whishaw or Nick Hoult or somebody out of the opium dens to play Lord Henry, it's not as if we're strapped for gorgeous dissolute twinks. Kidnap 20-year-old Heath Ledger from the year 1999 to play Dorian. Summon the ghost of Pier Paolo Pasolini from Hell and tell him that if he doesn't direct another indescribably awful gay arthouse pornohorror, the fascists will win. And - this is crucial - make it gay, but in the worst way possible. I want it to set the discourse back 15 years. People should walk out of the theater asking if gay marriage should be legal.
It simply is not that difficult.
