Bright Star
So, I felt like my head was really heavy and full. And for me, the best way to get out of my head, to refresh and reboot, is to go and watch a movie. So, I went to the Carlton, which I was surprised to learn is closing forever on December 6th, and had to choose between Bright Star and Inside Hana’s Suitcase. I wish I had chosen Hana and her suitcase.
For a character driven movie, I didn’t really feel like I understood or felt for them. The only part that I felt connected was when Fanny learns that Keats has died. And obviously, you feel something for someone who has lost their love. But otherwise, I felt like their relationship was shallow. I actually felt more emphasis was put on Fanny and Mr. Brown’s hatred for one another than the love of her and Keats.
