After three or four nights on and off, I didn't finish watching "Out of Africa". If we talk about the origin, I bought the DVD about ten years ago, or before I moved twice, but it wasn't until the DVD. I didn't even look at the machine, or I only watched the first few minutes. This time I rewatched it because my friend’s computer brought it to me to take care of it a few years ago, and I backed it up, but the version is really bad, only 720p, so I immediately made an appointment to download the original 40G Blu-ray version after reading it.
But what interests me more is the heroine, Aunt Mei, an old aunt who was born in 1949 and whose birthday happens to be the same as a friend. There are so many movies that Aunt May has impressed me with, most notably The Covered Bridges, a movie that is still very influential today (I won't reveal who), and David Gordon. Er's Life" - I once wrote about it, and "The Queen of Out of Tune", etc. Although she does not support Trump, she can still be regarded as a national treasure of the United States. Actress.
The movie is long and slow, but meaningful. The young Karen was casual, for a title, and in order to escape the rebellious youth, in exchange for a generous dowry, she chose to marry the brother of her lover who went to Africa, and won the title of a baroness. How similar this scene is to Somerset Maugham's "The Veil", it seems to imply that women, especially beautiful women, if they don't implement life-long events after the marriageable age, the choice space left for themselves will be greatly compressed, and it is very likely that they will never be the same again. I can't find true love, so I can only succumb, I can only make do. Her condescension and obedience did not exchange for her husband's cherishment. In fact, the exchange element of this marriage was well known to both parties from the very beginning, but Karen still fantasized that she could rely on unilateral efforts in exchange for a harmonious and happy marriage. . However, her husband told her very frankly that he prefers to go out hunting. After all, the vast African savannah is full of infinite wildness and has a fatal attraction, not to mention a group of like-minded men. Karen manages the manor wholeheartedly and occasionally visits her husband, but is infected with a serious illness that is too embarrassing to talk about. The husband is not secretive, in addition to frankly admitting, he also expresses a deep apology. Of course, this apology is only for spreading the disease, not for breaking the promise of marriage. The lethality of the virus is indeed different between men and women. Karen had no choice but to travel thousands of miles to Europe for treatment. In the end, she lost her fertility, and her husband seemed to be indifferent, as if he had not received any treatment, and continued to eat as normal. Soft rice.
Finally, Karen met Dennis. They made up stories. They had too many resonances. They experienced the life and death test of beasts together. He took her and took her on such a simple plane to fly in the blue sky, overlooking the vibrant African savannah. At that moment, Karen was ecstatic. When Dennis told her not to move, she insisted on moving, which was a real emotion. However, Dennis loves freedom even more, and doesn't like being bound and fettered. So despite Karen jokingly saying I promise not to agree to your proposal and I hope you propose once, Dennis replied that I wouldn't love you any more with that paper engagement. Karen's husband finally found a better partner, so he agreed to divorce, and Dennis finally knew that love was about making choices, so he agreed to come back to pick up Karen after the appointment. Then it never returns. The plane is too simple and the safety factor is not high. Karen buried Dennis generously, begged the new governor to give a life to the local blacks who served her, and left this African land full of passion and regret, never to return.
This movie was the big winner of the Oscars that year. It deserves its name and deserves it. The true feelings of the filming are very touching. I can't help but think of the day before yesterday when I went to a branch activity and watched a photography exhibition. A member traveled to nearly 80 countries around the world, took tens of thousands of photos, and wrote down hundreds of thousands of words of travel notes. The breadth and breadth of such a life is astounding, but unfortunately it can only be sighed in admiration. I haven't had a chance to see the travelogue yet, so I don't know how deep it is. In fact, we ordinary people live in the world. If we do not pursue the magnificent and unique life experience, what is the difference between us and other animals?
After watching the movie, there were a few people in the group who were showing their scores that day and said they got full marks again. This is the weekend! It seems like a lifetime, and the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same... I am just curious, whether their turntables use batteries or something, and how can they play music in the wilderness?
