Out of Africa 1985

Talking about Robert Redford has brought back memories of another classic which I have watched during my school days...in the 80s.

Out of Africa is a 1985 film based loosely on the autobiographical book by Isak Dinesen (pseudonym of Karen Blixen) published in 1937, as well as Dinesen's Shadows on the Grass and other sources. The movie received 28 film awards, including seven Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Original Score, Art Direction, Sound) and three Golden Globes (Best Picture, Supporting Actor, Original Score).

Romance story was not really my first choice. This movie, however, was great as the scenes were beautifully shot as well as the music in the movie were great! For those who needs to feel "cultured" and to demsonstrate your sense of art and poetic, this is a must as otherwise your girlfrinds will find you shallow and lack the neccessary depth of the gentleman..
