Out of Africa, Best Picture Oscar in 1986. The heroine Meryl Streep is the housewife in the classic movie "The Bridge of the Bridge". At this moment, when she is young in her 30s, her long edges and corners elegantly fit her role in the film. Strong, dominant personality traits. Like the male protagonist Robert Redford Robert Redford's appearance, in addition to a little vicissitudes of life, almost equal to perfect. The reason why the movie is not so soul-stirring is because it is positioned in a love movie, but it is definitely not a classic. The male protagonist, denys, is a once-in-a-century character who truly fears Africa and advocates freedom. As for the female protagonist, in the end, she was divorced and her career suffered heavy losses. She inevitably wanted long-term companionship and marriage, just when denys decided to give up for her lover. While free, died unexpectedly in a plane crash. Their previous way of getting along was extremely romantic and a fusion of spirit and flesh. Karen and her husband were separated. Denys was a guide in Africa, and occasionally gathered at Karen's house to chat about various interesting things. Karen was also a master of storytelling. Denys was the first to learn how to fly a plane. In two days, I took karen to travel in the African sky, swept away countless running bison and water birds in the sun. Shampooing your hair is a simple thing. If it appears between lovers, it will be wonderful. This film and the movie "The English Patient" both use the scene of shampooing. I like it. The movie also has a side line of friendship between white ladies and African natives, which is quite emotional and moving. With communication and trust, will friendship be far behind?

    The stunning landscape paintings of the African land-they are too far away from the original novel.

    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.

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.
