1818. The twenty-three, John Keats and his neighbor Fanny Brawne know, thanks to the interest of the girl for his poetry, you attend, you write, get engaged, despite the desperate economic conditions of the poet. Undermined by tuberculosis, Keats is forced to leave for Italy, where the climate is better and where you will find death in February 1821.
John Keats is one of those rare instances in our history that shows the beauty of a life is judged not by the years that he lived but the intensity with which it was vissuta.John Keats died young, but in its short life managed to take a trip from intense moments of passion sounded and great pain. The love that Keats felt about life and love itself is described in his poems, imbued with the romantic feelings and the refusal to surrender to think about the world and lives only in rational terms. A romance firmly anchored to magical figures, poetic, hedonistic fruit away from the frenzy of the aftermath of the Enlightenment reason yet, but creator an ideal life consists of very strong passions almost consume the human spirit. Passions, though negative, always deserve to be vissute.Forse Keats, before dying of tuberculosis, the disease that took her all his life, he died of another evil: the love for Fanny Brawne, women in some a modern, strong-willed but also very fragile, unreachable and has nothing to envy to Dante's Beatrice or Petrarch's Laura: Like them, she was immortalized by the poetry of Dante and Petrarch poeta.Ma if their loved accounted for salvation, for his beloved Keats is a conviction. And in the film by Jane Campion one dwells on this tragic, inevitable, indestructible bond between the poet and Fanny, as if to show that when one thing you need, even if it hurts, there can never rinunciare.Quella Fanny is a different female figure, far from Beatrice or Laura or the "dark lady" of Shakespeare: not because she's elusive ethereal in its nature, but because it is as strong as are the words that describe it, she is also author and creator of the verses to the same extent of the poet Keats and realizes that while feeling her, despite having made in his own poems will never really possess. Jane Campion is not new to this kind of stories of women and femininity and this time do not forget the strong side of the personality of its protagonist, as it does not forget his sensitivity and his despair at having to live in an era that reflects and respects their personality. 
But as Ada, Isabel, Ruth, also his Fanny rejects the only person who can understand it for fear of being trapped in a love not only dramatic, but in an understanding that most likely would deprive it of its freedom, in an even his sense of unease that she is almost essential. The director of New Zealand we can do with his actors and directs a beautiful Abbie Cornish: his Fanny becomes the absolute center of the story, the pivotal point around which turns the whole movie, and his clothes, his voice, character, the vast expanses of flowers seeks solace in which are all parts of it and are an excellent side dish to a love story impossible. If you need to Fanny Keats, for her it is necessary to live in its nature of being restless and free. Both crushed two evils that hinder them to express themselves fully and truly live the love. Two opposites that attract to the gravity of their solitude but still desires, almost unconsciously know they can not stay together: Fanny because of its nature, Keats because of his disease and its economic condition. And the awareness of a love destined to end gave us many of the most beautiful verses in English literature and world. There are many poems that Keats, directly or indirectly, has dedicated to Fanny, but almost certainly all his work was devoted to the life and it often causes pain when you live too intensely: "the pleasure is often a guest passenger, but pain clings cruelly to us ".
