“Though not really my thing at all, the film was well structured.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSet Fire to the Stars tells the story of Dylan Thomas during his time with poet John Brinnin as he helped him in his spoken word tour.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSet Fire to the Stars attempts to be as intense as the artist that itu0026#39;s based on and portray a life thatu0026#39;s both wild and sad. The type of story weu0026#39;d expected about a 1950s poet I guess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt can be amusing. Most appealing for artist who either think there Dylan Thomas or feel like John taking care of Dylan.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a very cool title, and it has cool art direction somewhere between fact and fiction that glamorizes the world of Dylan Thomas lives in, though Dylan is not that glamorous.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVery cool cinematography as well. the Black and white really sets the mood. Also loved how the music blended into it. The technical film aspects put you in the illusion that the movie really was made in 1952.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne really great highlight was when the actors recited the words of the writeru0026#39;s they play.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA pure motion painting that really captures the time period itu0026#39;s about.”
