The Romantics

whenever i see a movie i like, i research things that i liked or want to know more about. this movie has not only turned me on to the romantics (poetry) but i am also very intrigued to read the book now. below are some quotes by the romantics that i got from this delightful find .


"Faith is a passionate intuition. "- Wordsworth

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”- Wordsworth

“Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.”- Wordsworth

“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.”
-Wordsworth

“To begin, begin.”- Wordsworth

“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections, and the truth of imagination.”- Keats

“Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained. “- Blake

movie time #3 : The Romantics

when i first saw the preview to this movie i really wanted to watch it because i myself am a romantic and i am a sucker for a movie preview with a good song. not that long ago i talked to my dear good friend (sister from another mister), h4/5eidi, and she told me she wasn't too impressed with the movie. this of course intrigued me more, so i moved this movie to #1 on my lovely netflix que.

finally took some time today to watch it, i must say, i liked it. (even though most of the reviews bashed it) i'd give it a 4 out of 5. the characters were more then two dimensional, i enjoyed the plot, script, location, setting and music. i also will give katie holmes a cheers to her acting performance. bravo katie! bravo!

"Listening to music.
Driving with no destination.
And I guess this,
this beautiful mess
is best ended without notification.
Probably better." - laura (katie holmes)
