“ No - my sweet Fanny - I am wrong. I do not want you to be unhappy - and yet I do, I must while there is so sweet a Beauty - my loveliest my darling! Good bye! I kiss you - O the torments! ”

- John Keats (in one of his two letters in May of 1820 to Fanny Brawne) (via lostinlabyrinths)

Keats: I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees with my lips connected to those of a beautiful figure for what seemed like an age. Flowery treetops sprang up beneath us and we rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.
Fanny: Who was the figure?
Keats: I must have had my eyes closed because I can’t remember.
Fanny: And yet you remember the treetops.
Keats: Not so well as I remember the lips.
Fanny: Whose lips? Were they my lips?

velveteenyears: i’m a bit bothered by the heat to write up a full review so here’s some short word bytes on ‘bright star’ - visually breathtaking, especially the scenes in the wildflowers and the opening sequence of abbie cornish sewing (i know it doesn’t sound it but it was lovely) - heartbreaking love story, nearly cried at the end when abbie’s crying :( - on the flip side it was a little too long for a romance film, in my opinion, especially since a lot of it was about her being a complete suicidal mess without him and acting like a perfectly normal person when he came back - which by the way, am i being tooo 2010 by thinking throughout the entire film “GOOD GOD woman pull yourself together! by the hammer of THOR have some PRIDE!” all in all i’d say 6/10 but i did see it for only $7 (mondays only at kino at collins st place, fyi!) so i guess i can upgrade it to 7/10 :) Agreed on the first two points… I guess I have a different take on the ending, given my love of the relationship between Fanny and Keats both in the film and in real life. Any other takes on the film?

- visually breathtaking, especially the scenes in the wildflowers and the opening sequence of abbie cornish sewing (i know it doesn’t sound it but it was lovely)

- heartbreaking love story, nearly cried at the end when abbie’s crying :(

- on the flip side it was a little too long for a romance film, in my opinion, especially since a lot of it was about her being a complete suicidal mess without him and acting like a perfectly normal person when he came back

- which by the way, am i being tooo 2010 by thinking throughout the entire film “GOOD GOD woman pull yourself together! by the hammer of THOR have some PRIDE!”

all in all i’d say 6/10 but i did see it for only $7 (mondays only at kino at collins st place, fyi!) so i guess i can upgrade it to 7/10 :)

Agreed on the first two points… I guess I have a different take on the ending, given my love of the relationship between Fanny and Keats both in the film and in real life.

From ‘Ode On A Grecian Urn’

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
