Day 24 of watching 30 “Chick Flicks” in 30 Days – Bright Star (2009)

Bright Star (2009)

Synopsis

Based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats’ untimely death at age 25.

What Uncle Sha learned

I wouldn’t say Star Bright is for everyone, it has a slow pace to it, and the old English figuritive language can be difficult to understand at times.

It has a little slow in the beginning, but that’s normal for the premise of introducing the characters and settings.

The ideal word to describe this romantic movie is “tender”. Yeah that’s it.

It’s sensual too, not in the erotic kind, but such are the words that was being used in the film, it can be ‘orgasmic’ at times.

Watching this, you don’t need scenes of physical intimacy to get your heart racing, and your breathe shorten.

At times I hung on every brilliant word of John Keates played by Ben Whishaw.

While Abbie Cornish was superb acting as Fanny, she very much reminds me of a young Nicole Kidman, in fact she does resembles her.

Aaah the perils of star-crossed lovers, wonderful to read and watch its movie adaptation as it tugs at my heart, but horrible for my faith, as I prefer to view love as one with a happy ending.
