Keats in the film has very clear and bright eyes and a shy smile like a child, almost all familiar. Fanny is undoubtedly not the woman people think poets should fall in love with. She is not good-looking, hard-working and strong, has excellent tailoring skills, and achieves economic independence by her own labor. In the eyes of ordinary Wen Qing, it may be judged as vulgar. So in the film Keats will have feelings for Fanny, perhaps to make people feel a little strange. There is neither fateful love at first sight nor romantic romance, only childlike innocence, and the love accumulated bit by bit, I think it is a very beautiful miracle. He fell in love with Fanny's kind and sincere heart, not her looks or her talents. That's why I feel that Keats is valuable.
In this film, which is said to have a strong feminist color, Fanny is obviously stronger than Keats, almost like a sister-in-law relationship. I also went to check the information on WIKI. In fact, Keats was five years older than Fanny in history. It's completely invisible in the film, but the two of them are unexpectedly good together. Fanny's love for Keats may be purer. At first, maybe it was just curiosity, maybe it was because I had never met such a literary youth around me, and I had an ignorant goodwill. At this time, maybe I was more curious. I wanted to know about these undisciplined poets, as if living in another world. What kind of creatures are they. Then she asked her younger brothers and sisters to buy his poetry collection, only listened to and read a couple of lines, and was touched unexpectedly. Perhaps it was the vague affection that already existed, which made her understand the boy's delicate and sensitive heart at once. Perhaps for the understanding of words, emotion is a more direct way than any literary cultivation. Fanny might not necessarily recognize Keats' talent, but what she was attracted to was the man's emotional heart. Words are just opportunities. Love is accumulated bit by bit through understanding step by step. She saw Keats' meticulous care for his brother who was in bed, he was full of childlike innocence and played with the children, and she saw him immersed in the world of literature. The seriousness in her was more and more attracted to him. Maybe she doesn't understand, but she wants to understand, because she likes him, so she wants to understand his world, she works so hard that Keats' friends ask her with a bit of jealousy, miss, are you acting or what? ? She replied, this is the real me. Keats accepts that she is who she is.
Keats felt like a failure all his life. During his lifetime his poems were never recognized by the public. He repeatedly left Fanny because he felt that he was not qualified to marry her and give her happiness. In fact, Fanny is a woman who can stand on her own. She doesn't need to ask him for any economic status or wealth, and because she can stand on her own, her love for him is not an ethereal and unrealistic romantic fantasy, but a real life. If Keats can be with her, it's really a good story in the world. It must be better than some previous life.
The whole movie is very quiet and the pictures are idyllic and beautiful.
The boy was only 25 years old when he died. He said:
"I can afford to die, but I can't afford to lose her...Everything in my suitcase reminds me of her shuddering touch. The lining she put in my travel hat is burning my head...there is nothing in this world. Things can take me away from her for a moment"
