Out of Africa


An epic film of the years spent by Danish authoress Isak Dinesen (her true name is Karen Blixen) on a Kenya coffee plantation. She moved to Africa to marry, and later fell in love with Denys Finch-Hatten, a British adventurer. Based on several books, including biographies of the two lovers. Some critics loved the scenery and music; others despised the acting and the script. A definite "no" for those who love action.

This movie SHOULD have been rated pg-13. I felt horrible when my little sister had to close her eyes due to the inapropriate scene in the movie. I could not watch the rest of it. That one scene ruined it for me and I thought they could have kept the actual content out.

Out of Africa is at the top of my list of movies to watch when I want to escape to another world and time. Also my all-time favorite movie. The scene in which Redford takes Streep up in an airplane for the first time allows you to feel the awe such a ride created.
