She has always loved independent and brave women, Karen played by Meryl Streep, unwilling to be plain, elegant, affectionate, not complaining about others, maintaining her dignity, and leaving a deep impression on me.

A marriage without love is destined to be unhappy. For the title of countess, Karen married a dandy who figured her money and left Kenya. When she drove the carriage and crossed the battlefield filled with artillery fire, she visited her husband on the front line. Seeing the wife who was rushing in the dust, his first words "What are you here for?" After a short gathering, the husband brought her a sickness. She had to go back to Europe to treat the disease alone. When she recovered, she could never have it. child. She calmly accepted her husband's divorce request.

She ran the farm alone, escorted items to the battlefield without fear of hardship, changed the bad habits of the local indigenous people despite the people's obstruction, and even knelt down and begged the governor to leave a piece of land for the indigenous people to settle down. She used all her savings to invest in the coffee plantation. Three years of hard work finally yielded a good harvest, but the fire took everything away, and she did not shed tears. She faced all the hardships firmly, did what many women couldn't do, and made men stand in awe.

She met her lover, the handsome Dennis. He took her soaring in the blue sky, overlooking the vast African land. Giraffes and zebras ran in groups on the vast grasslands. Hundreds of red-winged birds took off at the same time in Bihu. Water. He said, I started to understand your world, and when I come back, I fly back. However, she stayed in the blue sky and white clouds forever...

She returned to Europe alone, taking away only the memories of Africa...

No amount of hardship can destroy a woman's inner tenacity. Karen's elegance and calmness are unique to the polished woman. Thank Karen for meeting the right Meryl at the right time and making a classic.

    Sidney Borak is an old-school director, and Out of Africa, which was born out of a pile of incoherent memoirs and essays, makes for a story with ups and downs, which is remarkable. Not to mention Aunt May's performance, Barry's soundtrack is a catalyst for the audience to integrate into the film's emotions. What fascinates me most about this movie is the sense of time passing, unhurried, but irreversible.

    The picture is a painted background board combined with the actors' performances, the thought is American-style arrogant and condescending, the story is a three-vulgar love, and the actor is a pig's kidney face Streep... I can't think of a worse configuration than this.

Out of Africa quotes

  • Karen Blixen: [Denys lands his two-seater aircraft, and Karen runs to greet him] Where did you get it?

    Denys: Mombasa. Get in!

    Karen Blixen: [as they take off] When did you learn to fly?

    Denys: Yesterday!

  • Karen Blixen: "The time you won your town the race, we chaired you through the marketplace; man and boy stood cheering by, as home we brought you shoulder-high. Smart lad, to slip betimes away from fields where glory does not stay. Early though the laurel grows, It withers quicker than a rose. Now you will not swell the rout of lads that wore their honors out. Runners whom renown outran, and the name died 'fore the man. And round that early-laureled head will flock to gaze the strengthless dead and find unwithered on its curls a garland briefer than a girl's."
