Bright Star, Film Review

Recently on Netflix instant demand, the movie titled, "Bright Star" has appeared. This movie is based off of Keat's poem, "Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art" (page 1311-1312 in the text).

I found the movie enjoyable, as well as being insightful to the character of John Keats as a poet. The movie is told from the point of view of Fanny Brawne, Keat's lover and the inspiration for "Bright Star". Periodically, the Keat's would read aloud a poem, such as "Ode to a Nightingale", "When I have fears that I may cease to be", and "To Autumn".

I would highly recommend the movie to anyone who enjoyed the Keat's poems- It was a nice addition to Keat's poetry.
