Everyone's memory hides a cloudy and foggy night. Even if the starlight bursts out, even in an instant, that kind of brilliance is dazzling, the heart and soul are rippling, if Keep your mouth shut, who knows?
The Australian female director Jane Campion, who was famous for her "Piano Farewell" more than ten years ago, took a period of life and death in the poet's life in the name of the poem "Bright Star" by the British 19th-century romantic poet Keats. When the affair was put on the screen, Campion said, "I will write a poem about Fanny's love story of Watching Keats and recite it to the world."
The plot of the movie is very simple. Keats, a young and weak poet, meets Fanny, the girl next door, and falls in love and gets engaged. After more than a year, Keats is seriously ill and has to go away to Rome for treatment, and finally dies in a foreign land. For viewers who want to read biographical stories of romantic poets, it is inevitable to be disappointed. This "Bright Star" is nothing but a love story that is not out of the ordinary in Keats's poem and in his name. And the ending of love is not like this, it is either the death of love, the death of the person, or the death of the heart...
But it is a very beautiful film, in Campion's lens, the kind of breeze that gently lifts the window screen The heart of the bluebell flowers in the mountains and wild love. Extremely poetic. What is especially moving is the ending of the film. When the news of Keats's death came, Fanny was heartbroken, twisted her long hair, wrapped in black, and braved the wind and snow alone, chanting the "Brightness" that Keats wrote for him. "The Star", walked into the dark jungle in the snow, where the bluebells used to be enchanting.
The movie ends here, but the real life continues. Six years after Keats died, Fanny took off her black clothes. Twelve years later, she married a businessman who was twelve years younger than her and had children. , and no longer talk to people about Keats, but spend his whole life guarding the love letter Keats gave her and wearing the ring Keats gave her.
Perhaps Keats was lucky, he said that he would rather be like a butterfly and spend the brightest three days of the summer than fidget about the world for fifty years. The poet just went, love is like a pebble thrown into the heart of water, after the waves are calm, is the water still the same as before? The pebbles sink to the bottom, no matter how deep the water hides him.
Maybe life is just for a wait, maybe for an opportunity, maybe for a person, the tragic thing is when we find that waiting has become a memory, how long will the years be after? In short, Keats and Fanny were together for only a year and a half, but Fanny would spend the rest of her life forty-seven years to miss, despite being a wife and a mother. But some things may be repeated, and will not be touched again, and some people can be replaced, but they cannot be forgotten after all.
Life does not rot until the body dies.
