I've been enjoying its music, but it's too late

The music out of Africa has always been around, since the school days, lingering in my ears, whenever I hear it, I seem to be surrounded by boundless and majestic nature, and the thick and insoluble plots are peeled off layer by layer. It's getting clearer and clearer...

But, I've never watched a movie

, first watched Gone with the Wind, then watched Australia's troubled times.

Finally, I watched Out of Africa and

found the same plot, especially since Australia's troubled times have taken about 80% of the stories out of Africa. They all moved in, and suddenly regretted why I didn't watch this movie many years ago, but now I feel that its plot is thin

and even so, I still appreciate its belief

Out of Africa quotes

  • Karen Blixen: If you say anything now... I'll believe it.

    [to Denys, immediately after they kiss in her tent]

  • Denys: [to Karen, whose horse has run away, leaving her at the mercy of an approaching lion] I wouldn't run. If you do, she'll think you're something good to eat.

    Karen Blixen: [staring at lion] Have you - Do you have a gun?

    Denys: She won't like the smell of you.

    Karen Blixen: Shoot - shoot it.

    Denys: She's had breakfast.

    Karen Blixen: Please shoot her.

    Denys: Well, let's give her a moment.

    Karen Blixen: [as lion comes closer] Oh my God, shoot her!

    [Lion approaches Karen then wanders off into brush]

    Karen Blixen: Just how much closer did you expect to let her come?

    Denys: A bit. It wanted to see if you'd run. That's how they decide. A lot like people that way.

    Karen Blixen: She almost had me for lunch!

    Denys: Well, it wasn't her fault, Baroness. She's a lion.

    Karen Blixen: Well, it wasn't mine.

    Denys: Doesn't that outfit come with a rifle?

    Karen Blixen: Ye-ah, uh.

    [looks around]

    Karen Blixen: On my saddle.

    Denys: Better keep it with you. Your horse isn't much of a shot.
