Pseudo-independent literary style film

Ibrahim 2022-03-24 09:02:13

After watching more than half of it, I can't watch it anymore. It seems that literary and artistic movies are not my thing anymore. I am always critical of logic:
why did this woman live a mess in her hometown, and when she arrived in Africa, she became resolute and independent with the help of God? What is the reason?
That man said, "A piece of paper can't make me love you more." I think Ya is a young man who pretends to be B. Either he doesn't love you or he doesn't love you enough, so just kick him and stop talking nonsense. But the heroine is still entangled, is this what a smart and brave woman did? If love has to be foolish to prove, how can you be sure that you are not being cheap?
I think the icon of a really brave and determined woman should not be afraid of living alone, she is a complete whole, she will live a full and colorful life, and she will live a happy life. Men and love are just the icing on the cake, bring joy to yourself and make life sweeter. Love is just a role with better or better, not the savior of lonely life.
Maybe I didn't understand the story. So far, I think that the heroine's brave and independent appearance hides dependence and stupidity, so it can't attract me to read it.

    Adapted from an autobiographical novel, Sidney Pollack's masterpiece is a well-made romance-scenery film with an epic feel. John Barry's heart-pounding soundtrack, stunning photography, Kenya's vast savannah, wildlife and biplanes in flight are stunning. The film also deals with female awakening and colonial history. I love Karen's tenacity and open-mindedness, Denys' unruly, Mozart, and white gloves. (9.0/10)

    The beauty of Africa; unique ideas turn into wonderful dialogues. "Being with you is my choice. I don't live my life according to other people's ideas. Don't force me. I don't want to find that I am helping others to live. I am willing to bear the consequences, even if I am lonely occasionally, or even lonely. , I can accept it, it’s fair." "I won’t get closer to you or love you deeper because of a piece of paper."

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.
