The love of independence and the love of life

Strong and independent to the point of living alone on an isolated African farm, working with black slaves who cannot speak the language, healing their illnesses, and building a rudimentary school to teach children to read. But all the time longing for love, longing for marriage.

No matter how capable a woman is, no matter how hard she works, she still hopes to get love, possess it, and make love a marriage.

We come to the world, and nothing is entirely ours, we are just passing through. Fame, profit, material things, and even love.

Tianni's mistake was that she was too possessive. She didn't know what seemed to belong to her, but it didn't really belong to her. Including her husband, her farm, her school, her servants, and her lover Dennis.

Maybe anyone will fall in love with Dennis, a brave, intelligent man who seems to know everything on the African savannah. There is no reason to give people all the sense of security, even in the haunt of lions, in the face of a lion with a beastly heart, even in the newly invented plane that is not safe or not, and the one who just learned to fly yesterday. driver.

However, no matter how reliable a lover is, it does not belong to him. You can never delusionally bind anyone, otherwise it will backfire and make people want to stay away.

As Dennis, he belongs to nature and the African savannah. Maybe because of Tian Ni, he wants to stay for a short time, but his destiny is that he only belongs to this desolate savannah. Maybe at the moment of the crash, he would regret not having time to say goodbye to Tian Ni, and regret not keeping his promise. anyway, he had even loved her. they were loved.

happy times, never too long. When you are in pain, it will not be very long. We always believe that the happiest time has not yet come, and the most painful time will slowly pass.

If people can not be happy with things and not be sad about themselves, what kind of state of mind would be like water. How much cultivation does it take to reach the state where the mind is like still water?

A person who is full of strength in life, no matter what the accident, she can go through it safely. After everything has passed, when everything returns to normal, she can truly realize the meaning of life.

    Love Dennis, played by Robert, quietly and intently immersing herself in Karen's story world under the orange atmosphere created by the campfire Love Dennis holding a kettle and gently rinsing Karen's hair Love Karen's outstretched hand tightly on the plane I like Karen's tenacity and bravery, I like Dennis's unruly desire for freedom, I like the twilight of Africa, where the quiet years are buried in the grassland, mountains and rivers, and the soul-stirring music.

    A classic of women's awakening. The so-called power of classics is that in the growth span of ten or twenty years or even longer, you revisit and ask for it again and again, and it can always give you new things every time. Robert McGee’s interpretation: A woman who is bound by the traditional concept of "I am what I own" has gradually realized that you are not equal to what you have or a man, your own talents, abilities, deeds, and talents. Is your value.

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.
