Campion wrote the film after reading Andrew Motion\u2019s biography Keats and becoming captivated by the poet\/heartbreaker. After reading the love letters Keats sent to Fanny, Campion was in love. Who wouldn\u2019t be?<\/p>\n<p>The film is full of Keats\u2019s own words from said letters, which are just as romantic today: \u201cFor myself I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: I want a brighter word than bright; a fairer word than fair.\u201d Another example: \u201cYou must write immediately and do all you can to console me \u2026 make [your letter] rich as a draught of poppies to intoxicate me \u2026 write the softest words and kiss them that I may at least touch my lips where yours have been.\u201d How can a modern-day email compare?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been such an amazing and incredible journey for me, getting close to John Keats and also Shelley and Byron,\u201d Campion told NPR upon the film\u2019s release. \u201cI think what they responded to was their own spirits, and that was the Lord for them. And to me that seems like great instructions for life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the film, there\u2019s a quiet tension from the moment the two lovers interact on screen that sets the tone for the entire movie. Once a mutual attraction is formed, it\u2019s nurtured with furtive glances through windows\u2014Keats often inside, Fanny in the garden\u2014or through knocking on the shared wall of the house with Fanny\u2019s family on one side and Keats and his friend Mr. Brown on the other. At times playful, there is an undercurrent of growing despair once Fanny witnesses John\u2019s brother Tom suffering from and succumbing to tuberculosis. And then, of course, Keats himself will succumb, in true Garbo-esque fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The two are the ultimate star-crossed lovers\u2014Keats, unable to marry due to his dire financial circumstances and Fanny, pleading with her mother to allow them to become engaged when it is clear that a very ill Keats must travel to the warmer climate of Italy to convalesce. But what is a perfect Romantic romance without some star-crossed despair?[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_column_text] By Lisa Gill and Carolyn Turgeon [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you want to pass a couple of hours swooning to the poetry of a gorgeous, doomed romance and suspecting you might have been born in the wrong century altogether, we recommend Jane Campion\u2019s 2009 film Bright Star, which is about the last few years of the poet [...]","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":5604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[33],"tags":[1110,271,1112,1114,1113,1082,1111,1115,1116],"class_list":{"0":"post-5603","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-featured","8":"tag-bright-star","9":"tag-carolyn-turgeon","10":"tag-fanny-brawne","11":"tag-jane-campion","12":"tag-john-keets","13":"tag-lisa-gill","14":"tag-movice","15":"tag-npr","16":"tag-romantic"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bright Star &#8211;
