review 1: I feel like the poems and letters made a fairly visible and hard to watch/hard to look away from transition between thoughtful and romantic to frantic, paranoid, obsessive and overwhelming. Particularly the last two letters and two poems were almost begging fanny never to look or love anyone else and the very last poem seemed to me like he was saying he was going to haunt her from the grave. God this was so captivating. The poems are wonderful as always but the letters are the true gems, at the very end he is faced with the very real possibility that he is going to die and he's only just fallen in love and he goes fairly crazy and it's just very powerful to see, also lets not forget that it's John Keats so add to all of that an incredible poetic skill.
review 2:... more> So beautifully and profoundly poetic. The love letters of John Keats to his one and only Fanny Brawne will move you, make you smile, and even tear up. He died at a very young age, 25 to be precise, leaving behind some of the most exquisite and moving poetry and sincere love letters. His worsening illness that moved him to Italy, separated him from his love, right until he wrote his last poem, simply called 'To Fanny'. She, in turn, would wear the ring he had given her until the day she died.Absolutely beautiful. less
