“Let this sparkling gem of romance illuminate your heart.”

Have you seen the movie Bright Star? I’ve already put it on my Netflix Que because of friend recommendations. If you like romance, great literature, and beautiful things then I believe you’ll find this a treasure of a movie. And one lucky reader of ShesSmart.com will be winning the Bright Star DVD to add to their DVD collection. Bright Star was released on DVD on January 26th, so buy a copy if you aren’t a winner!

BRIGHT STAR SYNOPSIS: From Academy Award® winning writer/director Jane Campion (Best Original Screenplay, The Piano, 1993) comes an extraordinary film based on the true story of undying love between renowned poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw, The International) and his spirited muse Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish, Stop-Loss). In the wilds of 19th century England, a forbidden passion draws the two lovers ever closer—even as fate conspires to tear them apart. Bright Star takes you to a world where, though life may be fleeting, great art – and great love – last forever. Let this sparkling gem of romance illuminate your heart.

I actually really like how it’s described on Amazon.com, “From Jane Campion, Academy Award winner of The Piano, comes a sweeping love story that will carry you back through time to experience the passion and romance between acclaimed poet, John Keats and his beloved muse. London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats, and the girl next door Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of high fashion. This unlikely pair began at odds, he thinking her a stylish minx, while she was unimpressed not only by his poetry but also by literature in general.”

Why can’t I be a stylish minx who falls in love with an English poet? My life is so not cool.
