Can't believe it's a Jane Campion movie

Maybe because it was Jane Campion's movie, it was too disappointing so I gave it a bad rating. If it was someone else, it would probably just be "OK". It's very incredible. I just watched her TV series "Top of the Mystery Lake" a few months ago and gave it a high score. The screen and characters of the show are set in the style of "Piano Lesson", which is more strange and cruel. And this movie with several eye-catching names such as Campion, Keats, Ben Whishaw, etc., is like walking into a dusty room after clicking into it. The story and characters are hard to mention. Get up.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jane Campion's new interpretation of Yingfan, not Jane Austen's or her own "Piano Lesson", but this Bright Star seems like a nameless movie A story of a poor man made by the director of .

The only thing I praise is the Chinese translation of the film, "Bright Love Poems". Although the translation is a bit gaudy, it is the bright spirit of that generation of romantic poets. ""Beauty is truth, truth beauty"---that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Maybe not as bright as Shelley, but whether towards happiness or sadness, he also has the The ultimate beauty that comes to an abrupt end. I have to take the risk of many Ben Whishaw fans and say frankly that Xiao Ben may be able to act, but he is really not the material for—( )( ) aristocrats, poets, and aestheticists. He has an inherently bitter look, lacking connection to the "beautiful but useless" poet.

Abbie Cornish is good at acting, but she looks a little too stout, sometimes even stupid. It is impossible to appreciate her "poetic sadness".

The costumes in this film seem to be well-received. I have seen a costume exhibition in Bath, and the costumes in the objective review are full of the background of Xiaojiabiyu who earns living expenses by renting out houses. The materials and patterns used are very simple and real, which is a bit like a boring documentary.

Well, I admit that I am a fan of "Piano Lesson" and a fan of British dramas, and I am a bit "angered by love". Plain and straightforward speech can be more powerful - if the director releases a different kind of skill. Regrettably, the overall feeling of the film is weak.

On the other hand, the little cute boy Thomas Sangster is very eye-catching even if he doesn't have a few lines. He will be a ( ) ( ) vampire, Sherlock Holmes, aristocrat... I have already imagined a lot.
