Where is this actress from? Her accent falls into somewhere other than English in this scene.

This film is pure poetry.

I have had the fortune or misfortune to feel like this, it is very precious.

[Kyuka]

Watching the movie I felt like, I was the reincarnation of one of them. Now that I have that sort of relationship with someone now, I just hope neither one of us dies a horrible death XD;;;

What is this song called at the beginning????

[heliconiuswing]

What is your interpretation for the presence of the butterflies?

I was thinking they might symbolize a sort of "Mono no aware": while their eclosion in the jars runs in parallel with Fanny's feelings that seem to take flight in this scene, some butterflies show some sort of decay, a sign of vivid but ephemeral beauty that is reminiscent of John Keats' death at a young age.

@heliconiuswing

The inferrences you make are very common themes in art at that time.

Read the Biography on Fanny Brawne :) The fact that she's a female and interested in science is eccentric (then) and intelligent, which is why Keats loved her and was intrigued.I think this scene is to show her lively yet sheltered innocence,self-posessed but childlike, which also soothed his wounds.I think the gently underscored symbolism is a nod to the times, common of Campion's period-engrossing style.

[VonTeeseRose]

"When I don't hear from him, it's as if i died."

Honestly my heart dripped a bit when I heard that, knowing that within some part of my life I too, have felt that way. Beautiful.
