Bright Star
We here at Padfoot and Prongs don't often consider ourselves the 'girly type'. Sure we like to dress up every now and then and maybe even strut around a little in the grocery store...just in case we get discovered... but all in all we are pretty nerdy tomboyish book nerds who love a good dirty joke and a cold beer.
However all of that is completely thrown out the window when we watch movies based off of 18th century poets named John Keats.
We won't say any thing else. Just watch the trailer and try not to sob when you remember Keats died an untimely death at 25, and this takes place when he was 23.
Ughhhh. Get the tissues ready.
I heard about this movie in a review on NPR...

Sounds good...
Bahh looks so amazing to me. I am such a sucker for these types of movies. My copies of P&P are pretty much ruined I watch them so much so I am glad I now seem to have a new period-relevant love story to dominate my life.
ReplyDeleteMovie about Keats? I'm there.
ReplyDeleteOh my god my face is trying to cry from watching it, and my brain's trying to process how to make EVERY HAT IN THE PREVIEW and I think I've been overloaded.
ReplyDeleteUGH RIGHTT?!?! I just want to cry/smile/jump for joy/cry more when I watch this. So amazinnngggg
ReplyDeleteIt really is remarkable how talented a writer Keats was at such a young age.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Such an injustice that he was taken at such a young age, he had so much potential. As as for the love never fully realized, the greatest injustice of all :(
ReplyDeleteThere are many movies about young literary talents coming in the next year: The Rum Diary, Howl, and two about Kerouac, I believe.
ReplyDelete@ Korean Well that is one of the most exciting thing I ever heard. I knew about Rum Diary (ugh fingers crossed its good) but I didn't know about Howl or Kerouac. Wow what an amazing year it will be movie wise then. I can't to go see Bright Star though ugh.
ReplyDeleteOh damn, crying at the trailer. Beautiful cinematography. I love the fellow who plays Keats, he's a fantastic actor. Really excited to see this, thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for great poets who died young. My favorite is Spaniard Gustavo Becquer, who also died VERY young. This movie looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've heard this was good .... real good. And I love a good sobfest.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. I just saw this yesterday. I sighed. I wept. I swooned. I wrote a review about it on my blog. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI tried not to watch it but I couldn't help myself.
ReplyDeleteDamn.
