The crisis of the relationship between the two was rediscovered and healed during the travel, like Bertolucci's version of "Visit Italy (Africa)", but the ending of the physical death and the spiritual life is even more tragic. The African golden background is simply a palette customized for Storaro's skills. The real pictures are beautiful in every frame, and many people can't help but marvel at it. The main soundtrack melody made by Ryuichi Sakamoto after being inspired by Bertolucci with Morricone is also classic enough.

Is this a tourist scene film? It shows so many rich and wonderful exotic scenes, but the emotional thinking is so thin that it can be disconnected at any time. It always feels like an irony of those who claim that travel can cleanse the soul.
The Sheltering Sky quotes
-
Tunner: Do you think, uh, Port suspects something?
Kit Moresby: I think he knows, but he doesn't know that he knows.
-
Kit Moresby: According to Port, everyone eventually gets used to anything.
Tunner: If that were true, it would be the end of progress.
Kit Moresby: No, I'm sure it's true. I just don't know whether it's good or bad.
Port Moresby: Neither.
