This is the line that touched me the most in the whole movie. If you have experienced unbearable fear, or something you can't bear, the first time you will think, is it all a dream? What is even more desperate is that when you find that it is not a dream, you cannot wake up, because you are living in reality.
I didn't know anything about John Keats before I saw this movie, all I knew was that the poet died at a very young age, and this was obviously a romance, so at the beginning of the movie, I already knew that It was an absolute tragedy, but I never thought that a story that I already knew the ending could move me so much.
The movie doesn't introduce how they met. Through searching, I know that in history, she is his female neighbor. Their first dialogue was not confusing, and it felt a little out of place, but she was obviously very interested in him. From the beginning, the woman was in the active position. I have always hated hypocritical girls, especially those girls who pretend to be very reserved and impatient, so I have a good impression of Fanny, she has the courage to pursue what she likes. She took the initiative to read his poems, even if she didn't understand poetry at all; she made cookies and took them to condolences to his younger brother; she cared about what he thought of her, and didn't like the other person who thought she was really only flirting and clothing ; she embroidered pillowcases overnight for his deceased brother. Everything is done by Fanny on her own initiative. This woman is very independent and loves to pursue what she likes. I like her very much.
The movie doesn't describe how Keats was emotional, he took her pillowcase, kissed her, and then asked: invite me again, alone?
He took her hand at the Christmas table.
He taught her poetry.
He was jealous.
I loved watching the part where he was jealous. Because I always thought Keats was too reserved, barely able to express his emotions, but he would rage over a joking valentine card and run frantically pacing outside Fanny's house in the rain. He said: "Are you lovers? You have income to marry where i have not." He actually loved her so much, but because he didn't have the money to marry, he was too embarrassed to show his feelings.
The director is very good at mobilizing the audience's emotions. Whenever I think some contradictions and conflicts will continue, the director often starts another scene. There was no result in this quarrel. Another scene started. It was already a day when the spring flowers were blooming. Fanny went to Keats with a flower and told him that she was going to move next door. That shot was so beautiful, she was wearing a white dress, like a bride, the breeze was blowing, and she appeared in front of his house. Despite Mr. Brown's urging, Keats stepped out of the door and accompanied Fanny. I don't want to elaborate too much on the role of Mr.Brown, but this role has the most roles in the movie except the heroine and the heroine. His attitude towards Fanny ranged from challenge to guilt, and it was because of him that many of Keats' works were circulated.
Fanny moved in, and their room was separated by a wall. He tapped the wall twice with his hand, and she turned back twice, after which he moved the bed to the wall. Although separated by a wall, their hearts have never been so close. He lay on the grass meditating, she looked at him from his window, the wind was blowing the curtains, everything was so quiet and beautiful. They walked together in the fields, talking little, but everything was silent. There's a section where he kisses her after telling her about one of his dreams, before being interrupted by the cute Toots. The last set of shots is very loving, Toots walking in the front, they walking in the back, playing a game that we call "One, Two, Three Liberate Taiwan". This scene completely integrates Keats into Fanny's family. Toots likes Keats very much. In the latter part of the movie, when Keats is seriously ill at Fanny's house, he says, "Did you eat rosebuds again, little guy? Otherwise, why is your face so red?" Toots immediately became ashamed, she hugged Keats and said, "I love you, and gave him a parting gift." Toots is the most inspirational little actor I've ever seen.
The singing of the nightingale, the sunlight between the trees, the swaying branches, the colorful flowers. Keats continued his poetry while Fanny usually did his own needlework. That time, when Brown said they were moving out in the summer, Fanny didn't say a word, but when he got back to his house, he burst into tears. Keats felt guilty, and he spoke out about his worst situation. He said, "I can't afford to get married, I'm in debt, and I can't stop you from being loved by others." Keats actually felt guilty all the time, because on the one hand he couldn't afford the marriage, on the other hand he was in love with Fanny, so once , when the Bright Star poem first appeared in this film, he said, "Go to the dance," Fanny said, No.
In the summer, when he was gone, she lay in bed for five days, waiting for his letter. She asked her mother: Is this love? I shall never tease about it again. And when she received a letter from Keats, she immediately showed a bright smile, she could get up again, she could look forward to his letter again, and she could have the energy to go face the world. Keats said that if you can have three summers to be with you as a butterfly, it is better than 50 years of loneliness. Sitting among the bluebells, she read these sentences madly. In this modern society, these movie scenes are really just a dream. In the era of the proliferation of mobile phone communication, I watched a woman sitting in a flower bush reading a letter from her lover. So pure, so beautiful, so ardently loved. In history, Keats did write a lot of letters to Fanny, he called her "my sweet girl". Keats never dared to move back, because he was afraid that he would delay the other's youth, because he knew that he could not get married. But he couldn't hold it in the end and went back to Mr. Brown's house.
The movie always talks about that tragedy. I don't know if this is true, he went out without a coat, and indeed, he died of lung disease. He fell ill and longed to see her; she hadn't slept all night, but in order to wait for him to come back, she had no choice but to wait for the bad news that he caught cold and coughed up blood. That night, she moved the bed against the wall again, and she wanted to stay by his side, even across a wall. His friends advised him to go to a warmer place for the winter, they suggested Rome, that the English winter was too cold. She asked if she could not leave, and she said that you were too sick to leave. She said, you know I'll do anything for you as long as you don't go. He replied: I have my conscience. The audience may feel pedantic when they see this. Is this person serious? I don't know how many people in modern society are really struggling for love, how many people are really in love but can't be together because of their financial situation; how many people are seriously ill but don't want to drag each other down? Maybe you and I have not experienced it, so we are not qualified to say that he is serious, maybe when a person is deeply in love with another person, he really doesn't want to drag the other person down. She cried a lot and she said:
Shall we awake and find all this is a dream?
In fact, I also cried when I saw this. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing out of my eyes, because I know that when a person can't believe what is happening in reality, he will ask, am I dreaming?
He left, went to Rome. I guess she lives in waiting and hope every day, because he said, pretend I'll be back in spring. I guess no one thought of it, this is really a hypothesis. Keats himself didn't expect that his life would be so short. Mr. Brown is here to complete his last mission in this movie, reporting Keats' death. Fanny was crying, and she was crying so badly that she couldn't breathe. Of course, who would understand here?
She put on filial piety that night and walked in the wilderness, reciting the love poem her lover wrote for her.
Love is indeed not eternal, and the preciousness of love lies in that it is indeed short and sweet. Keats was 25 when he left, and Fanny used to walk in the dead of night in the wilderness that once belonged to them in the years after he left, and she never took off the ring he gave her. I don't want to say how amazing the director is, I don't want to say how good the two actors are, I don't want to say that the photographer made the scenery look like a painting, I really want to say that this is what I have seen, The most beautiful and true love story.
