John Keats (1795-1821), English poet. Keats' father, a groom, was run over from a carriage in an accident. The mother remarried, and the three brothers depended on their grandmother for a living. Keats received little education, and finally went to the hospital to study for two years, but after receiving his license to practice medicine, he resolutely gave up medicine and pursued literature. The long poem "Endermion" written by him was attacked by critics, and he suffered from chronic illness, and died of depression at the age of twenty-five. Keats made a great contribution to the British sonnets, he enriched the subject matter of the poems, and used sonnets for all the lyricism, scene writing, chanting history and even talking about literature and art.
The film "Bright Star" tells the poignant story of Keats and his fiancee, Fanny Braun, who met, fell in love, and were separated from the world. Braun is an innocent and beautiful girl with good knowledge of fashionable clothes. Her love not only gave the poet the inspiration to write poetry, but also gave him the courage and strength of life, but her lack of things is not a problem, and it also makes the poet suffer. endlessly. Keats loves Braun deeply, but his poor family background and terminal illness become an insurmountable obstacle to their union.
"Bright star, may I be as firm as you" titled "The Last Sonnet", or this poem is the poet's ultimate pen, written before leaving England to recover from illness in Italy. The poet has a premonition that he will not be able to do it, so his tone is extremely depressed and low, full of pessimism that there is no hope for this life to be connected with Braun.
The beautiful scenery of the film is integrated into poetry, which coincides with Keats' understanding of beauty - beauty not only exists in works of art such as Greek urns (Keats has the poem "Ode to Greek Urn"), but also lives in a star of nature One cloud, one flower and one tree, one hill and one ravine, one butterfly and one bird - just like the interpretation of the poet's famous sentence "Beauty is truth, truth is beauty".
With "Bright star, may I be as firm as you"
Bright star, may I be as steadfast as you are!
But I don't want to hang high in the sky any longer, staring at me in loneliness,
With wide-eyed vigilant eyes,
Like the patient, sleepless hermit of nature.
Like a raging sea, performing the priesthood,
To cleanse the shores of man's inhabitation,
Or stare at the fluttering fresh snow, which is like a veil
Gently cover the wilderness and hills.
Oh no! I just want to hold the headrest firmly
My sweet lover mature breasts,
Always feel its ups and downs, so deep,
When I woke up, I felt a sweet commotion.
Constantly, constantly listening to her soft breathing,
Live like this, or faint.
