a star in the sky

In "Bright Star", Jane Campion completely lost her sharp edge, and was replaced by the love story of a young woman of literature and art.
Keats and Fang Niu didn't know each other. Keats, who was a poor boy, looked down on Fang Niu, a poor and wealthy girl, and believed that rich girls had various problems, such as vanity, love for luxury, and regard for love as a form of collection addiction. , Fang Niu thinks his poems are difficult to understand. As many loves happen out of nowhere, they gradually became attracted to each other until Keats passed away at the age of twenty-five, and Fang Niu wore his ring like his widow.
The story is simple and the context is clear. Jane Campion's many years of directing career tell such a story with ease. Almost the entire scene is shot in natural light, which makes the picture look extremely beautiful. The silhouette of the heroine sewing by the window, from the neck to the chest, is so beautiful. The director is the standard-bearer of the film industry by shooting female consciousness. In this film, he basically gave up the method of making a name for himself, but after all, he has the remnants of anti-traditional ideas for many years, and the female consciousness is not placed on the heroine. The character is simply disrespectful to himself, so this film also gives the female image the meaning of subverting the traditional gender without exception. Fang Niu's eyes often show a stoic expression, and her body language is that she is ready to give old punches to people who offend at any time. At the same time, she also gives Fang Niu a very bold style of behavior. After watching several scenes of taking the initiative to pursue Keats, she is deeply impressed. Jue Fangniu has the courage of modern women to go forward in the face of love. The weak, poor and inferior Ji is completely confused in front of such a strong woman who declares war with love. No matter how he avoids, he has already fallen into a deep net. Of course, it also gave endless inspiration. The poet is considered to be one of the greatest romantic poets of the twentieth century, and Fang Niu contributed greatly. Then he died.
In my opinion, the story is just beginning. How did Fang Niu spend the rest of her life? Maybe she met a man who loved her deeply. Was the ring she once put on her finger a blessing or a curse? Or, Fang Niu used the love of her life to burn up like a fire just a few short years ago. Can she still meet the calm stream after seeing the sea? No one can give her love anymore, and she no longer believes in love? There is a kind of waiting called loyalty, what did she wait for? Are you savoring those words Keats wrote every day for the rest of your life? Will she struggle with lust? Jane Campion presents a sweet and greasy little cake in this film, without nutrition.
According to information, Fang Niu remarried a few years later and had children.

    When you come across a beautiful poem and want to read it for you, you just need to leave all the ashes to me after it burns

    The dazzling love poems make the whole film romantic and gorgeous, and the delicate and restrained emotions are beautiful without being sentimental or lustful. The model of the new school of literary dramas, Campion of "Piano Lesson" returns. "I just want to be firm, put my head on my lover's soft bosom, and always feel its soothing ups and downs. When I wake up, my heart is full of sweet stirrings, and I constantly listen to her delicate breathing, and live or die in a coma."-

Bright Star quotes

  • Abigail: Mr. Brown has said that I could learn to read still. I said to him, "Sure, what would I read?" And he said, "Abigail, even the Bible is not so dull as you might believe," and that in the Songs of Solomon there're some bits so juicy they'd make even a churchman blush. And he said that when I get down to the reading myself, I'll see he tells not one word of a lie!
