I was hoping he would make someone so mad that they would throw him out a window! <br /><br />I loved Fanny's white dress when she brings the bunch of pink flowers to Keats. <br /><br />Overall, I think I liked The Young Victoria more than this movie. <br /><br />Did anyone watch the previews on the DVD? They made Alcott's Old Fashioned Thanksgiving into a movie.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074597722929095455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-24484463739245264462010-07-22T11:43:44.057-04:002010-07-22T11:43:44.057-04:00Bethany--do you have an internet connection fast e...Bethany--do you have an internet connection fast enough to watch online? Or a gaming system hooked up to the internet? Bright Star is on Netflix's instant play. That's how I watched it--on my computer. I also have a hard time convincing my family that movies about the nineteenth century are just as fabulous as horror movies and ninja flicks. :-) You might also check your local library.Regina Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122254474376535221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-1676015562285987582010-07-22T11:38:41.960-04:002010-07-22T11:38:41.960-04:00I have not yet watched the movie.

What I find inte...Thanks for the link, QNPoohBear! What I find interesting is that when the Keats/Brawne letters were published in the 1870s (I think), scholars flipped because Keats came out in a decidedly non-ethereal poet light in them--he was obsessive and jealous (a little of which was shown in the film). I didn't necessarily find it overly-dramatic, considering the ages Fanny and Keats were at this time--she was 18 and he 21 or 22...which I think was easy to forget because neither Cornish nor Whishaw look that young.Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-45576703513636401462010-07-20T23:11:54.792-04:002010-07-20T23:11:54.792-04:00I saw it last winter and I adored the historical d...I saw it last winter and I adored the historical details, the costumes and the scenery, however, as a romance, I thought it was overblown and way too dramatic. One reviewer described Fanny as a psycho stalker and I wouldn't go that far but she did come across as rather crazy. I watched it twice before posting the review on my blog. <br />http://bluestockingmusings.blogspot.com/2010/01/bright-star.htmlQNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-8640013102003936392010-07-20T23:06:18.880-04:002010-07-20T23:06:18.880-04:00Yay Aimee!!

Or a novel...hmmm...<br /><br />And yes for modern medicine. Evidently Keats' doctors kept bleeding him and making him eat practically nothing, which, uh, didn't help much.Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-63733892890385278832010-07-20T23:02:38.487-04:002010-07-20T23:02:38.487-04:00I just added this to my Netflix queue and plan to ...I just added this to my Netflix queue and plan to watch it first thing tomorrow (as part of my vacation from paper).

Then I went to the Source of All Knowledge to see if Fanny snapped out of it after an appropriate time, and was happy to see that she did, and annoyed at the script for implying that she didn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-1563968271949774242010-07-20T21:01:01.726-04:002010-07-20T21:01:01.726-04:00I'll have more to say on Friday, but for now, ...I'll have more to say on Friday, but for now, four words:<br /><br />I want her clothes.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />Oh, and perhaps three more words:<br /><br />Yes, I cried.Regina Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122254474376535221noreply@blogger.com
