The love story told in "Bright Star" did not show the legendary character in the written records. One of the reasons is that too many details have slowed down the rhythm of the film. The director seems to be reluctant to give any point to deepen the lingering impression of Keats and Fanny. The story of the film, coupled with the already known ending, the film's dramatic conflict is stretched into similar forms again and again. In terms of women's self-consciousness, the film is too idealistic for women's pursuit of freedom and the way to achieve it, so that the audience can't see the substantive confrontation, struggle and rebirth that the heroine must experience in the background of the times; therefore, Fanny, played by Abby Cornish, left the audience the impression that she was just a young literary woman full of romance, rather than a woman who insisted on loyal love with indescribable pain and forbearance

"Three summers with you are better than fifty lonely springs and autumns" "Will we wake up and find it's just a dream?" Ben Whishaw's weak literary atmosphere is very suitable for Keats. It's such a beautiful and beautiful literary film that I don't want to wake up. (Thomas has also been a handsome guy since he was a child~)

John Keats: I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees with my lips connected to... to those of a beautiful figure, for what seemed like an age. Flowery treetops sprung up beneath us and we, um... rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.
Fanny Brawne: Who was the figure?
John Keats: I must have had my eyes closed because I can't remember.
Fanny Brawne: And yet you remember the treetops.
John Keats: Not so well as I remember the lips.
Fanny Brawne: Whose lips? Were they my lips?
