“First Love Burns the Brightest”


Tonight I went to see “Bright Star,” a film by Jane Campion. I had a feeling that I would love this film. First of all, I love period pieces, the costumes, the mannerism, the way they talk. Anyways, I walked in the theatre and I was the ONLY one who is under 25. The rest of the audience consists of women (mostly) in their 50s and 60s. I just thought that was kind of funny and interesting.

I loved the film. John Keats and Fanny Brawne’s love for each other portrayed in the movie was filled with yearning and simplicity. They didn’t play mind games with each other. They just simply loved and let themselves be loved by each other. The scenes were breathtaking, filled with warmth of colors and freshness.

I also HAVE to compliment Abby Cornish, the actress who plays Fanny. Abby was amazing. She portrayed the emotions perfectly. I felt what she felt…perhaps that is why I cried so much.

ARGHHHH!!! Talking about this film makes me want to go see it again and again and again. I know if I keep going, I am never going to shut up. So, in conclusion, I give “Bright Star” an A+++ for all the elements…soundtrack, actors/actresses, beautiful scenes…and for giving me a wonderful experience.
