“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Its loveliness increases, it will never
Pass into nothingness…”
The above verses are the opening lines of John Keats’ Endymion: A Poetic Romance. Throughout centuries now, Keats is acknowledged as one of the brightest stars in the history of English Poetry.
No doubt, he is my favorite poet.
It’s simply filling my heart with joy to find out that his biography is now filmed and already released in theatres in the US and Europe. Some of my friends in Keats’ fanpage already posted comments on the movie.
The movie, Bright Star, is about the life of the young poet, John Keats (starring Ben Whishaw), his struggle to be accepted in the circle of poets of his time, his love to Fanny Brawne (starring Abbie Cornish), and his tragic, early death at the age of 25.
For those of you who love history, biography and drama, this movie (directed and written by Jane Campion) is worth noted down on your agenda. I personally am looking forward to watching it soon.
