i really love period pieces and historcal dramas, so i thought that a story about the life of john keats would be great for me. I hated this movie. First, there was no background music AT ALL, and I dont know about you, but I feel like music is crutial for a movie expected to convey such deep, raw emotion. As i was watching the characters on screen i really wanted to connect with them and feel their passion for each other, but I felt nothing. I didn't care when john died. Yeah, I said it--HE DIES. The dialogue doesn't let you into the minds of the characters, and honestly i do not care or feel for them at all. It just seems to drawl on and on and on, and im sad to say that i was relieved when it was over. I had expectations for this one. Now im just stuck with this damn dvd. I never want to see this movie again...Oh, and Ben Wishaw does NOT know how to kiss.
