I used to have a farm in Africa

First of all, my highest respect to Aunt May!

Our human ancestors originated in Africa, and now we don't belong to Africa, we are more looking from afar. The trajectory of old capitalism spreads over a large swath of this naturally agile and primitive continent, where trucks run over the plains, bullets go through the heads of lions, and capitalists seize the homes of indigenous people... [--Reading is important for children. --British people can read too, what's so good about them? ]

Most people love the vastness of the land and the wide horizons, but not everyone can stand the freedom of loneliness. [Goodbye is a strange feeling, mixed with envy. Men go out to accept the test and hone their courage, while the test that women have to accept is to hone their patience... Alone, learn how to face loneliness. ], it is not incomprehensible, since happiness is within easy reach, why go to worry day and night and endure more loneliness? The power of Africa has made Karen active, brave and tenacious. Although she lost her career here and buried a regretful relationship here, and love is so magical and long, she finally understands her own destination and integrates into the world. In this natural environment... out of Africa, love is tied here.

    The movie is actually a little smaller than the novel, and the beautiful scenery complements it. In the novel, the romantic perspective that doesn't care is deeply hidden. The magnificence and unreliability of this perspective are all emotional. Hey, the beauty of human nature, the beauty of the world, the limitations of human nature, and the helplessness of life... Karen Brixen, who is sufficient for canonization, should be more interesting than novels. (Seeing crying, but my crying point should not be designed by the director but from the original novel)

    A piece of grassland, two relationships, a woman has completed the experience and transformation in Africa. Meryl Streep interprets the past of a wealthy woman to grow coffee, run a farm, and establish a deep friendship with indigenous Africans. Unexpectedly, good luck made people, a fire, and two failed relationships, and bid farewell to the homeland of Africa, the land where sweat and passion once swayed.

Out of Africa quotes

  • Kamante: I think that you had better get up. I think that God is coming.

  • [last lines]

    Karen Blixen: The mail has come today, and a friend writes this to me.

    [Quoting from the letter:]

    Karen Blixen: "The Masai have reported to the district commissioner at Ngong, that many times, at sunrise and sunset, they have seen lions on Finch-Hatton's grave. A lion and a lioness have come there, and stood or lain on the grave for a long time. After you went away, the ground around the grave was leveled out into a sort of terrace. I suppose that the level place makes a good site for the lions. From there, they have a view over the plain, and the cattle and the game on it."... Denys will like that. I must remember to tell him.
