Review of Out of Africa (1985) by Daniel G — 27 Jun 2008
Meryl Streep never ceases to amaze me. I am not a fan of sweeping romances, but something about this film hits all the right notes with me. Streep is nothing less than an unstoppable force as Karen Blixen, a woman who moves to Africa to farm with a man she marries.
The marriage is not one based on actual love but comfortability and gain; enter Robert Redford. The relationship between Streep and Redford is true love, and I never believed in the love that movies such as this one portray, UNTIL I saw this one.
Besides that relationship, the one between Meryl and the tribe that inhabits her land is touching. This movie spoke for a lot of things, and I was listening the entire time.
