This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The story is a great love story and the cinematography is spectacular. Cast is exceptional and I never tire of seeing it again.
NEVER has watching the washing of hair been SO excruciatingly sexy. This was one of the last of the truly epic films. I am so grateful to have seen it when it first came out, in a gorgeous traditional full screen theater, holding hands with the love of my life.
My go to soundtrack when needing a mood boost...the most sensual scene in movies is Denys washing Karen's hair...each scene...the cinematography...breathtaking. Never tire of watching this movie! Woe is the woman who tries to tame a man of adventure. ..."He was not mine".
Such a beautiful film so well portrayed by the actors and the filmwork is incredible.i never tire of seeing this movie and the music is quite haunting in places.
I have always wondered about the scene where Karen decides to hold onto the soil instead of spreading it over Denis' grave. When she walked away in her grief I realized that she was the greatest actress of our generation. For me, it was just as powerful as the "choice" scene in Sophie's Choice.
Excuse me Charles, but with all due respect: Meryl has never, ever been and quite simply, will never EVER be the greatest actress of our generation. Your terribly unfortunate and thoroughly offensive statement reeks of empirical folly of the most artistically absurd puritanism. Meryl is quite definitively, the Absolute, Greatest and Most Wonderfully, Gregariously Divine Actress in the Herstory of our ridiculously troubled planet - generations of every and all kinds be damned! Generations of every and all kinds, of course, are abundantly blessed by the extraordinary, almost supernatural gifts of this undisputed goddess that we are all so luxuriously privileged to have in the midst of us mere mortals. I always - and we should ALL - repeatedly give the most heartfelt thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for creating, loving and saving us but also for gifting us so beautifully with Meryl. May our Most Gracious God always bless you and all of your loved ones Charles 🙏🏾✝️❤️. May God continue to bless Meryl, Don, their gorgeous children and all of their loved ones 🙏🏾✝️❤️. May God continue to bless us all 🙏🏾✝️❤️ Amen
@@markiskander1054 Well, okay then. "Luxuriously priviledged" ? That had me rolling. I can see your English teacher never gave a lecture in purple prose. Or how to edit, for that matter.
loved Meryls part, clothing included. Beautiful movie and story. One of my favorites. Espeically their song from the movie " let the rest of the world go by"
The late Sydney Pollack was not averse to appearing in his own films. 'Tootsie' was a true masterpiece! Sydney was great both in front of and behind the camera. He gave a great performance in Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'!
That lion story shocked me. This animal was flown half across the world and brought to his natural habitat, only to be chained up, (fake) whipped and used as a prop. Thank goodness animal rights are recognized more these days.
It's such a superb film is that.... After the actress has done so much thing to that place africa and leaves that place with hurt, sorrow and dis beliefs that she gets experienced at that place....name of that title says it all "OUT OF AFRICA" with those experiences.....
God Bless You Madam Myerl Streep You are A True Legend of Hollywood Movie Industry You Are so Beutifull Madam Juat stay Blessnd With Your Family And Friends As Well Just Stay Blessed With Your Life and Career As Well
Roberto Redford é o homem mais belo do cinema, um dos maiores atores e um dos grandes incentivadores da arte cinematográfica. Está na galeria dos grandes. Rendo todas as homenagens a ele. Sou sua admiradora eterna.
I recently discovered a British TV series called The Flame Trees of Thika, about a woman who goes to British East Africa in 1913 to start a coffee plantation. The novel was written Elspeth Huxley and strangely, contains many similar characters, some with identical names like Juma. The novel on which the series is based was published in 1959, though Huxley's first writing about Kenya and a so-called Lord Delamere was in 1935. Karen Blixen published Out of Africa in 1937. Both authors are cross-referenced in Wikipedia. One has to wonder about the similarities in Huxley's work since Blixen published her work first. Oh, BTW, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It got me thinking about going to Nairobi and visiting the Blixen Museum. But thanks to Google Earth and COVID-19, I've changed my mind.
The little scene they show here with the lioness having Streep's character at a disadvantage, near the tree, is a microcosm of that character's interplay and attempts to corral, tame Redford's character throughout the film. Every line of his fails to fall in line with what her wishes are. After he tells her, "I wouldn't run...(good line for a hunter to say, to his female interest)...she will think you are something good to eat". "Do you have a gun?" "She won't like the smell of you" "Shoot--shoot it". "She's had breakfast". "Eh, eh..don'...please, shoot her". "Nnno, let's give her a moment" (I almost laughed here). "Oh, my God, shoot her!" (Lioness leaves, finally) "Just how much closer were did you expect to let her COME?" "A bit". (Then) "She wanted to see if you'd run, that's how they decide--a lot like people, that way". While he was all about fairness and respect, for a hunter, it was also something he both observed about humans and as a bonus got to see about her, her mettle, to me, anyway. At one point while courting, she asks him doesn't it matter to him about something, maybe her being another man's wife or something entirely different, but he replies "No, it matters to me that you try". First view of this film I rather disliked her character, but I cannot let it pass if it comes on and I am alone, without anyone to disturb the beauty of the story, of Africa, the music. ***SPOILER ALERT********************************************************************Her reading the poem brings tears every time, unable to let go the earth.
Streep's wardrobe in OOF was certainly a boost for a little chain of stores at the time called "Banana Republic". Before it was bought out, BR sold clothes that made Americans look like they were going on Safari. I remember going into one of their first stores and there was straw on the floor and some sort of eau d'elephant scent, lol! Now it's just a more expensive Gap....
It was a great film, but having read all of Blixen's work, I was disappointed that the story had been so fictionalized. For anyone who can't place the accent: Blixen was Danish.
Ms. Streep DID NOT work on set with the lions. When the lions were present for filming, Meryl was not scheduled until a week later. The lions were trained by my decades-long friend, Hubert Wells, and Meryl was doubled in all lion scenes by another long-time friend, Doree Sitterley, a co-trainer with Wells. But Ms. Streep the movie star does not mind claiming credit for working with the lions when she was not there at all.
This was a great movie, but the thing that bothered me and that was that Redford was supposed to be British but he didn't even attempt to do a British accent. Why didn't they just change the nationality of his character to American if that was gonna be the case.
"Out of Africa" apparently WE all were for this film🙄 Out of Sweden is a new film Staring Daniel Kalua, Lupita N'yongo, Issa Rae, and Michael P Jordan😂😂😂 Sydney Pollack called Africa a continent with 1.3 Billion people and 54 different countries, this ignorant person called this CONTINENT a "country"
not sexy enough....well., karen blixen was not monroe and meryl streep isnt monroe either......but a brilliant actresse,so, she was perfect for that part.....i love this movie so much.
Directors sometimes risk their actors' lives for their art. Example: John Landis/the Twilight Zone movie/Rick Morrow and 2 Vietnamese children killed by a copter blade. Of course Landis was actually breaking the law by having the kids work at nite and for other violations and got sued for it. Almost got sent to prison for it.
Did the director say "Africa is not country used to big American film companies?" Is he still so ignorant that Africa is a CONTINENT, not a single country!! There are 50 countries in Africa, created by the former European colonialists.
@MrsLisaPotter Well, from your name I surmise that you are a woman and women generally enjoy sappy love stories like "Out of Africa." If my opinion is "weeeeird" to you, it's still my opinion and, weird or not, I'm sticking to it. [PS: Another sappy film starring Marvelous Meryl was "The French Lieutenant's Woman." BORING ! ]
I remember seeing this film when it first was released. I thought it was basically a sappy love story then and I still think it is now. Although I like Meryl Streep and I like Robert Redford, they were completely mismatched in this film and there was no chemistry between them. It was like watching two manikins going through the motions of pretending to be lovers. A highly over-rated film in my opinion.
It's the way Robert Redford looks at Meryl Streep in the movie that convinced me that their characters truly loved one another. That one thing made Out Of Africa a sublime movie experience for me.
The movie was made by professionals, but it is not authentic. An US amrican jew is directing it, an american jewish actress, a wasp-actor and an austrian prince charming act in the major roles. They could never achieve any reality in the danish & british society of the early 20th century. The film remains hollywood-sh.t.
The book and the movie are the best companion set I've ever seen. The book is about the internal life and thoughts of a woman living in Africa, while the movie is about her and the people she knew. || I was actually reading the book when I saw the ad for the movie. For the first twenty minutes I was thrown off - until I realized how well they complimented each other. AND Streep was *exactly* the way I envisioned Blixen. Better to read the book & watch the movie.
Beautiful movie, but the music is glorious. Thank you John Barry.
Yes. The music can so often make or break things, depending.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The story is a great love story and the cinematography is spectacular. Cast is exceptional and I never tire of seeing it again.
And the beautiful music brings me to tears every time!
me too
Same! Throughout my years I have watched it and watched it again! The music, the landscapes of Africa are just divine…
Un film que j'adore..
Deux acteurs formidables ❤️❤️
It is a cinematic masterpiece
I just love this woman, she's so amazing. All the different accents she's capable of, so lovely.
Meryl Streep is unattainable in this film, she has the unique ability to make such powerful characters so real.
Fell in love with this movie. I never tire of seeing it.
Such a marvelous film. Meryl Streep was the perfect choice to play Karen Von Blixen. This film is truly a masterpiece.
NEVER has watching the washing of hair been SO excruciatingly sexy. This was one of the last of the truly epic films. I am so grateful to have seen it when it first came out, in a gorgeous traditional full screen theater, holding hands with the love of my life.
My go to soundtrack when needing a mood boost...the most sensual scene in movies is Denys washing

"Cheap but it worked *laugh"
Myghaaaddd she's so cute. I'm so in love with this woman. 😍
Robert Redford is the original Brad Pitt - just more authentic, genuinely sexy & intelligent. Exceptional.
Chamber
so well said!
But totally miscast as Denys Finch Hatton. Meryl Streep was fabulous.
Yes indeed more intelligent and suave to the most actually .I don’t get why people are infatuated with brad Pitt.
La
this film still holds up! stunning just saw it on tv

luvd this film....luvd the score...luvd Meryl!!!
loved Meryls part, clothing included. Beautiful movie and story. One of my favorites. Espeically their song from the movie " let the rest of the world go by"
One of my very favorite films, favorite director, and actor’s. Triple threat. A must-watch film.🎬❤️🎬
Terrific adaptation of the book ( well, part of it) and she will be proud to have Meryl do her character
Thank you so much
i am in love w this movie so thank you so much for this video....:)
Africa is not a country. It is a continent.The country's name where they shot the film is called Kenya.
The late Sydney Pollack was not averse to appearing in his own films.
'Tootsie' was a true masterpiece!
Sydney was great both in front of and behind the camera.
He gave a great performance in Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'!
brad and bob are two different no comparison

Jesus
What RR brought to the role was his reticence and swag. Their chemistry MS RR was evident and you couldn’t take your eyes off of them
loved this and love the Movie..............Out Of Africa.
It's such a superb film is that.... After the actress has done so much thing to that place africa and leaves that place with hurt, sorrow and dis beliefs that she gets experienced at that place....name of that title says it all "OUT OF AFRICA" with those experiences.....
UNA DE LAS MEJORES PELÍCULAS DE LA HISTORIA.
God Bless You Madam Myerl Streep You are A True Legend of Hollywood Movie Industry You Are so Beutifull Madam Juat stay Blessnd With Your Family And Friends As Well Just Stay Blessed With Your Life and Career As Well
Lovely film, of course, but what a fascinating and extraordinarily appealing woman Meryl Streep is!
Great class both Redford and meryl streep

English subtitles would be WONDERFUL for those of us with little or no Danish language skills. thanks for posting.
Excelente película, y ella es muy linfa y buenisima actriz, al igual que Redford.
EXCEPTIONAL MOVIE FROM A to Z!!
Wonderful actress
The good ole days
Cheers
I'm doing some research and so glad I came upon this video. Meryl Streep just made my evening. I'm still picturing her running into the bush :) lol
J aime acteurs la musique est merveilleuse Meryl streep admirable de vérité je revois ce film ce soir Avec beaucoup de plaisir merci
I love Meryl❣️
the book is one o f the most beautiful I had read in life.

Danish, her character, Karen Blixen, comes from Denmark.

We have to thank Karen Blixen
my love Mirel streb
Did Sidney Pollack just said "Africa is not a country that is accustomed to..." Country? Are you kidding me..
The movie is based on the true story of DANISH writer Karen Blixen.
Никогда ещё Мэрил Стрип по своей сути не соответствовала так ярко, как в этом фильме. Это просто она, и никто другой.
It was a great film, but having read all of Blixen's work, I was disappointed that the story had been so fictionalized.
For anyone who can't place the accent: Blixen was Danish.
I am Danish.. And danish People dont have that kind of accent.... But great film though.
Africa is a continent
We want to know more.
David Watkin, peeps. The magician behind the movie's success.
I loved you, Sidney, but "Africa" is not a "country"!! I'm flabbergasted that he said that. Perhaps he meant to say "Kenya", but still.... *facepalm*
country like wild west ... Not only Sahara or bush or ... He never put large letter
He said it isn't a country that is accustomed to big American film companies... listen...
Huh, who knew all of Africa was a country back in 1985?
Dommage qu'on ne puisse pas traduire ?
Ms. Streep DID NOT work on set with the lions. When the lions were present for filming, Meryl was not scheduled until a week later.

Streep is then a very beautiful determined talented liar. Her public persona proves what she actually is a great actress
I never thought of her as beautiful before
Truly humane director Children of a Lesser God.
@76special i think it's dutch or Afrikaner
He was best Actor in Out of Africa Robert Redford.
This was a great movie, but the thing that bothered me and that was that Redford was supposed to be British but he didn't even attempt to do a British accent. Why didn't they just change the nationality of his character to American if that was gonna be the case.

Ahh, the famous lion story. . . . . ;)
Meryl eres tan maravillosa k me siento una kaka y una basurilla
Africa is not a country at all, it's a continent. 2:50
Meryl Streep not sexy?! is Sydney blind....????
Streep is bone china porcelain Germanic beauty.monroe is sexy
They r two different things
not sexy enough....well., karen blixen was not monroe and meryl streep isnt monroe either......but a brilliant actresse,so, she was perfect for that part.....i love this movie so much.
oh god the ending(; i've just noticed that Sydney could've gotten Meryl KILLED.
Directors sometimes risk their actors' lives for their art. Example: John Landis/the Twilight Zone movie/Rick Morrow and 2 Vietnamese children killed by a copter blade. Of course Landis was actually breaking the law by having the kids work at nite and for other violations and got sued for it. Almost got sent to prison for it.
Sorry, His name was VIC Morrow.
“Africa’s not a country which is accustomed to big American film companies”
Africa is not actually a country. 😐
Redford slipped...he called her Meryl!!!!(Lioness scene)
he said 'baroness'
No, he said Baroness
Sad lion story
Ok so its 2023. I NEED TO KNOW THE REAL STORY OF THIS LONS. WHERE ARE THEY? WERE THEY FREE??
SOUNDS ABUSIVE.
Mr Pollack, Africa is a Continent not a Country. Perhaps you meant Kenya?
ohhh myyy Brad Pitt looks like Robert Redford
LOL what????
Give Pitt another ten years and he will.
im just saying okay???
oncall21 yeah right, not even close
Carrie White Prom Queen im sorry okay?? whatever yuh guys say..
Did the director say "Africa is not country used to big American film companies?" Is he still so ignorant that Africa is a CONTINENT, not a single country!! There are 50 countries in Africa, created by the former European colonialists.
Africa is not a COUNTRY he says!
+Zahid Rajan Africa is not a country, it is a continent. Africa includes many countries, one of which is Kenya.
+Zahid Rajan Yeah, massive facepalm... How can he say such a thing! :D
I thought Meryl Streep was great casting but I still question the Robert Redford casting. Still an outstanding film
She has british accent but she is from Denmark right 😂

Nic nie pwiem. - więzi krwi.
hey w
2:55 "Africa is not a country which is accustomed..." Africa is a continent.
2:55 "Africa is not a country which is ...." Africa is not a country period ...
I think he was using country in the more general sense of the word, like "This is God's country" when commenting on a scenic region
This man called Africa a country smdh

to the producer, Africa is not a country.
She was far off the mark accent-wise. Not sure what she was trying to sound like,
Meryl Streep : Sarah Palin...same person? Could be.
GetMeThere1 ???
Streep is much more intelligent and talented than Palin.
The movie was made by professionals, but it is not authentic. An US amrican jew is directing it, an american jewish actress, a wasp-actor and an austrian prince charming act in the major roles.

Wow...Really really really really full ourselves aren't we, #SterileStreep!
Sour grapes cynical comments.
Whoa. Jealousy or what
She can't do accents.
You lost me when you said "Africa is not a country which is..." Pitiful! Show some respect
"Africa is not a country..." He shouldn't have continued that sentence.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Embarrassing.
Africa isn't a country!
Stupid movie. Better read the book, Out of Africa. Blixen is a great writer.
Stupid movie? No. It is an excellent film.
The book and the movie are the best companion set I've ever seen. The book is about the internal life and thoughts of a woman living in Africa, while the movie is about her and the people she knew. || I was actually reading the book when I saw the ad for the movie.

Hans det er da en god film
There's no way Robert red Ford handsome e the same as Paul Newman streep she is ordinary
