简单说，比想象中要好看，原以为是很闷的片，很文艺腔那种。画面美得不可方物（管他是不是病句……），大部分时候对英文诗没什么感觉，听不出押韵压在什么地方，更听不出来好坏，接触更多是翻译诗。不过到片尾时那整个几分钟的“配乐诗朗诵”实在很棒，Ben的声音又很好听，英国腔很受用。
想象中的诗人要更深沉更不苟言笑更神经质一些，不过开场Keats拉门让芬妮险些摔倒的状况一下推到了我的设想，到后面他在雨中质问是不是爱上芬妮了更让我瞬间产生了在看八点档肥皂剧的感觉，继而会心一笑。还有他和芬妮家的猫的那种强烈的和谐感，还有确实了彼此的心情后，芬妮的妹妹在前面走着，她一回头两人就“红灯绿灯小白灯”般定格了的摸样，很可爱的诗人，很可爱的爱情。绣线，花丛，写满花体字的信纸，简·坎皮恩的镜头，浅吟低唱的背景乐，诗意也好，矫情也好，随便你说什么，总之很好。有冲突有起伏，不是闷片啊，另外是适宜花痴，鉴定完毕。
不知道历史上的Keats是什么样的，也没怎么看过他的诗，初中课本学过，诗已经不记得了，牢牢记得的只有书下注释的小字，早逝的诗人，墓志铭是这里安葬着一个把名字写在水上的人（Here lies one whose name was writ in water. ），很喜欢。我愿意假设他是电影中这般。
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
