I remember bawling my eyes out at this scene when the movie was released. It's the same every time I see it. So many scenes in this movie are special to me.
J’ai vécu 10 ans en Afrique (au Sénégal) et j’ai pleuré lorsqu’il a dit au revoir à son majordome. Ça m’a rappelé mes larmes dans l’avion de retour au pays. L’ Afrique est magique comme un envoûtement dont on garde en soi TOUTE SA VIE.
When we are experiencing chaos and loss in so many ways it is a film like this that can remind us to look for the beauty in life and give thanks we are able to be a witness to it.
I saw this film in Malmö, Sweden with my partner, who was a pilot. We both were especially moved by the spiritual quality of the flight scenes. Two weeks later his plane was shot down by “friendly fire” during military exercises. I have always felt this movie was prescient for aspects my life to come. Nothing was ever the same for me.
@@pokachan3451It has … I’ve learned that “life is difficult”, “you only control your responses”, and, if you want peace, you must make that within and cherish even moments of small beauty.
Meryl Streep’s delivery of the poem adds so much depth and tenderness. This scene brings my tears every time. The combination of A.E. Housman’s words, Karen’s loss, and Streep’s performance makes it unforgettable.❤
Has there ever been another like Meryl Streep? I think not. In this scene she is magnificent. Her one great love is gone, but she will forever carry him in her beautiful heart. ‘He brought us joy’.
I have an old Housman book of poetry and came across this poem back in the late 1980s? I read it while at work and had long discussions with my boss about it. He helped me with his interpretations as I was having some difficulty. It still makes me weep.
@@GlennHuang Yes it is a sad poem. My teacher read it to our class when I was in High School in 1988 and she cried while she read it to us. Little did I know that I would move to England and visit Shropshire as an adult. Houseman also wrote “ A Shropshire Lad.” We also read in High School; in Florida. Happy to hear his writing can be so profound to so many.
I had to read all of Dineson's writings after watching this film in the cinema 3 times. After watching and reading, I knew I would never be the same. So beautiful. ❤
After watching I decided to go to Kenya and Tanzania if I had a chance.... in 1986 I got that chance and spent 3 months... about 5 weeks on camping safaris. It was beautiful.
I lived in both Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and Kenya during the 1950s and ‘1960s. Very special countries. Lots of Karen von Blixen reminders still remain especially in the Nairobi area.
Perfect...Yes...Doesn't matter how many times I watch this film...My heart Fills my Chest. The comments below mine echo my thoughts completely...the locations, the acting, the pace, the music, everything !!!
This movie was so special to me... Reminds me of my childhood growing up in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia and Southern Rhodesia now zambabwe) I now live in South Africa but this will always be one of my favorite movies... Excellent actors
Robert Redford Meryl Streep the acting was above superb in my thinking the movie was great photography was awesome and acting reacting was above awesome. It was like it was a love story between two people two different lives. I loved it. It was. It was just so good..
'To an Athlete Dying Young' by AE Housman THE TIME you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl's.
That poem always brings me to tears. We've had a disaster in Western North Carolina. I've not been able to cry much even though family is missing. Thank you. I truly needed that healing catharsis of tears
That was a Fantastic Movie! Great Acting, Casting, Cinematography, Sound and Editing! The ending is a Heartbreaker! But only Great Movies make you feel emotions that you thought you had all buttoned up! Robert was? Well Robert Redford! But Meryl Streep was Fantastic! Just a Great Movie all around!
This movie is really a masterpiece! Meryl Streep is sublime and perfect together with Robert Redford. This is really one of the best films of my life, got the DVD and never be tired of watch it for many times.
My name is also Karen, which is actually a Dutch name. Back when I first saw this, Banana Republic was still around and their clothes were in the safari theme before the Gap bought them. I ended up with a bunch of wonderful outfits in the spirit of this movie.
If I know a song of Africa, does Africa know a song of me? the farm which she fought so hard to keep, and lost, is now a suburb of a big city. Its name is Karen.
Beautiful A.E. Housman writing…I can’t watch this without crying. It reminds me too much of my oldest brother who I lost at the age of 46, to suicide. Karen’s toast, when invited into the all men’s club, was also paraphrased from Housman’s writings. “Rose-lipt maidens, lightfoot lads.”
I visited Kenya and stood in those rooms and outside on the veranda and thought of that woman’s bravery and commitment. Her name is still revered there for her kindness and strength. A hospital is named after Karen Blixen on the outskirts of Nairobi. Only Meryl Streep could have played that part.
I have a home in Africa !!!...despite our problems i was born here..will die here..nothing like Africa..everytime i come home from a trip overseas i cry when i land ❤❤❤❤
I have lived in Kenya for 10 good years and i have a piece of Land in Matassia with a good view of the Ngong Hills, its a magical place...Mtaka yote kwa pupa, hukosa yote.❤
Ognuno ha una sua Africa nella memoria e nel cuore: un luogo, un amore, una storia che ci ha reso quello che siamo diventati. Per questi il film e' tanto amato!
I was born in Ndola, Zambia. in the mid 50`s. Much like Kenya, Zambia was also very colonial. Gin and Tonics on the verandah and lions roaring at night.
Anybody that knows the story of Dido Belle McKenzie knew the story of her cousin Elizabeth her cousin Elizabeth later became the grandmother of Of the Robert Redford character in out of Africa
I read the book and cried in places... Having been born in Southern Rhodesia and breast fed from the age of 3 week old baby 'til 4 years old, from the breasts of a wonderful Shona lady, Hannah - then growing up for the next 5 years in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia... Africa is the most magnificent continent... If only politicians wouldn't meddle and cause wars and divisions as they do... Beautiful film...
It was from her memoir. They couldn't change it much. She went on to write many books after returning to Denmark, so she did something good with the rest of her life.
So many years since I saw the film and yet even now, some scenes make the eyes prickle. I never lost my resentment however, at Robert Redford being give to part of an archetypal, died in the woo,l Englishman. Were there really NO English actors who could not have played that man?. I suspect Dennis Finch-Hatton would have felt somewhat insulted.
Yes, I read Dinesen's memoir too. The critics all mentioned that. He didn't even put on an English accent. Many viewers didn't know he was supposed to be English.
@@tracysinclair3117 Yes, he's a good choice. And he looked like Denys too. Denys was the 2nd son of a British aristocrat, and his first-born brother had inherited the estate and everything else. After WWI, he tried to find a new place for himself by going to Africa. Except that he and Karen hadn't met "cute" on the train, the rest of the film is largely true. He really did play Mozart on a phonograph in the jungle to see the reactions of the monkeys.
ich hatte die Ehre dieses Gedicht auf der Beisetzung meiner geliebten Cousine vorzutragen. Wir haben diesen Film geliebt.....................................................................................................................
One of the best films ever made. The music is sublime!
Thank you Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Karen Blixen and thank you dear Sidney Pollack for your wonderful movies 🌷
"...he was not ours. He was not...mine." Heart-rending...
And she could not let go of that handful of earth, for that would be too, too final
I remember bawling my eyes out at this scene when the movie was released. It's the same every time I see it. So many scenes in this movie are special to me.
Have you thought of visiting the Blixen house, just north of Copenhagen? It’s perfectly preserved, and utterly memorable.

I'm in bits now....again
@@coupezjacqueline4110le microbe
there is no comment that can describe just how perfect this film is....
I saw this film at the cinema when it was first released. At the end, I could not leave my seat as I was so powerfully moved by the incredible score.
Yes!
Music by John Barry
Such a beautiful scene. I watch in awe of the poetry and the beauty of Ms Streep’s voice and acting. No one compares to her.👸🏼
Idiot vicious Trump called Streep a second rate actor.
This film never fails to touch you. The poem about Africa Is stunningly beautiful and beautifully read by Meryl Streep.
When we are experiencing chaos and loss in so many ways it is a film like this that can remind us to look for the beauty in life and give thanks we are able to be a witness to it.
@holsen8269 Thank you, well said.
AND to have our own ideals despite what social mores tell us we should be feeling.
A most powerful scene that filled with so much beauty, love, and of unimaginable loss. 💔
I saw this film in Malmö, Sweden with my partner, who was a pilot. We both were especially moved by the spiritual quality of the flight scenes.
Two weeks later his plane was shot down by “friendly fire” during military exercises. I have always felt this movie was prescient for aspects my life to come. Nothing was ever the same for me.
Thank you, Beauty, for sharing this memory with all of us. My sincerest loving condolences.
I am saddened by your loss😢
@@Blackcat2005 thank you; it was a long time ago but thinking about it, even today, is painful. Watching scenes from Iut of Africa bring it all back.
what pain you must have carried with you since.. I hope life has offered some consolations
@@pokachan3451It has … I’ve learned that “life is difficult”, “you only control your responses”, and, if you want peace, you must make that within and cherish even moments of small beauty.
she best actress of a generation
This is what a Masterpiece is.
Meryl Streep’s delivery of the poem adds so much depth and tenderness. This scene brings my tears every time. The combination of A.E. Housman’s words, Karen’s loss, and Streep’s performance makes it unforgettable.❤
One of the most heartbreaking movies, ever.
This movie stands alone of it's.own...when I saw the lone Masai...I teared up...
Why don’t they make films like this any more? The power is in the subtlety, the quiet moments in between apart from the excellent acting.
Has there ever been another like Meryl Streep? I think not. In this scene she is magnificent. Her one great love is gone, but she will forever carry him in her beautiful heart. ‘He brought us joy’.
"...but he wasn't mine."😢
✝️🌹
Merill's finest moment. an altogether beautiful film
A. E. Houseman. I had to memorise that poem in 1987.
PART OF MY MFA FINAL PAPER

I went in 2006 and again in 2008. It has never left me. You know what I am saying.
You should try to visit Rungstedlund too
Funny fact: I made the same decision and went to Kenya in ´89. it was overwhelming.
It was also my inspiration to go to Africa, loved it!
I lived in both Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and Kenya during the 1950s and ‘1960s. Very special countries. Lots of Karen von Blixen reminders still remain especially in the Nairobi area.

One of the very few times a film honored a magnificent book by being true to it.

'To an Athlete Dying Young'
by AE Housman THE TIME you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:
Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.
So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.
how kind of you to write that poem out. Thank you.
Thank you for this.

That poem always brings me to tears. We've had a disaster in Western North Carolina. I've not been able to cry much even though family is missing. Thank you.
I truly needed that healing catharsis of tears
@@mgmassey174 I guess a sincere, deep CATHARSIS is the secret key.... that opens the door of any challenge.
Loved that film. Was lucky enough to go to Kenya on safari to the Mara. There is an area of Nairobi called Karen after her.
That’s a very fitting and beautiful Tribute.
FABULOUS movie !! I remember watching one night w my OLD grandfather ... even he was sobbing .. beautiful
Her leaving at the train is sad. That man loved her
Loved and Respected, it was mutual.
That was a Fantastic Movie! Great Acting, Casting, Cinematography, Sound and Editing! The ending is a Heartbreaker! But only Great Movies make you feel emotions that you thought you had all buttoned up! Robert was? Well Robert Redford! But Meryl Streep was Fantastic! Just a Great Movie all around!
Beautiful, beautiful film. :)
“Out Of Africa” My all time favourite movies, Same with “Dances With Wolves”Both are Master piece.
Don't forget The Mission and Apocolypto
One of my favorite movies and the music was inspirational and invoked a level of spirituality that I had rarely experienced.
Weeping at the scene when she gives her compass, and he says her name
This movie is really a masterpiece! Meryl Streep is sublime and perfect together with Robert Redford. This is really one of the best films of my life, got the DVD and never be tired of watch it for many times.
I cry for her, who cannot cry, every time.
What an extraordinary woman
What an extraordinary actress
Thank you 🙏
So many scenes that touch your heart.
My name is also Karen, which is actually a Dutch name. Back when I first saw this, Banana Republic was still around and their clothes were in the safari theme before the Gap bought them. I ended up with a bunch of wonderful outfits in the spirit of this movie.
You might be interested in her 3 memoirs written under the pen-name Isak Dineses.
C'est le film qui m’a le plus inspiré ces dernières années, Meril Steep est époustouflante, pétillante dans ce rôle ❤❤❤
They don't make movies like this anymore
There are no more such actors
Honestly! I'd love more authentic movies like this.
Best film with Maryl Streep
If I know a song of Africa, does Africa know a song of me? the farm which she fought so hard to keep, and lost, is now a suburb of a big city. Its name is Karen.
Wow! Very cool!
Powerful, emotional. What a fantastic movie.
Still makes me weep after seeing it so many times.
For so many of the actors, this was their greatest film.
A partly-true story. I read Blixen's 3 memoirs, and the film was fictionalized. But in itself, it was a great film.
Brilliant movie! Classic!
Beautiful A.E. Housman writing…I can’t watch this without crying. It reminds me too much of my oldest brother who I lost at the age of 46, to suicide. Karen’s toast, when invited into the all men’s club, was also paraphrased from Housman’s writings. “Rose-lipt maidens, lightfoot lads.”
Karen helped many people in Africa her house in Denmark is wonderful
She was so young every living has is moment.
The eternity belongs to the books.✨️
I visited Kenya and stood in those rooms and outside on the veranda and thought of that woman’s bravery and commitment. Her name is still revered there for her kindness and strength. A hospital is named after Karen Blixen on the outskirts of Nairobi. Only Meryl Streep could have played that part.
I have a home in Africa !!!...despite our problems i was born here..will die here..nothing like Africa..everytime i come home from a trip overseas i cry when i land ❤❤❤❤
I will always revere Sydney Pollack for 2 very unforgettable, prominent and outstanding movies : Jeremiah Johnson and Out of Africa.
beautiful poem.
Great movie
Fascinated by Karen Blixen what an amazing woman
A masterpiece indeed...
Notice... she never throw on the grave the sand that she took in her hand... How could she...
Do not also for get the beautiful music of john Barry most surely missed😢
Beautiful 🎬 movie🙏💗✨️ Thank you 🙏 for sharing this clip.
Great film still today 🇦🇺
Brilliant film

I never seen that movie. Love her so beautiful and talented lady
Robert Redford was so beautiful in this film. I'm sure Meryl didn't have any problems falling in love with him.
My favorite movie of all time. ❤
Thanks for sharing. Loved, Subscribed, & Ding!!!
It was so powerful poem ,and at the end the Ion on the top of hill🦁❤️
😮😢Heart-rending. I'd like to see the full movie.❤
I used to work at the World Trade Center that sold items from Africa, among other things. I would play the sound track from Out of Africa.
très joli extrait !
beautiful !

Und die Stimme von Meryl ist unvergesslich,wunderbar
best moment of the Film

Now I’m crying again 😢😭
A Masterpiece
Indeed that's a VERY SPECIAL moment of that movie...💕💔❤🩹👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Un film fabuleux ...
That’s fantastic.
Grazie ❤
Anybody that knows the story of Dido Belle McKenzie knew the story of her cousin Elizabeth her cousin Elizabeth later became the grandmother of Of the Robert Redford character in out of Africa
Try also "Out of Africa" the book, Dinesen's (she wrote under her maiden name) memoir. There are some direct quotes from it in the film.
Wspanialy film cudowna muzyka znakomita obsada .....❤
Visto di nuovo giorni fa....... Sempre splendido!!
I grew up close to the Ngong Hills and I went horse riding there many times.
It isn't "Karen's poem"; it's written by E Housman and is called "To an Athlete Dying Young".
Even the trailer makes me weep
I read the book and cried in places...
Having been born in Southern Rhodesia and breast fed from the age of 3 week old baby 'til 4 years old, from the breasts of a wonderful Shona lady, Hannah - then growing up for the next 5 years in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia... Africa is the most magnificent continent... If only politicians wouldn't meddle and cause wars and divisions as they do...
Beautiful film...
This was such A DEPRESSING MOVIE. Everybody lost.
"Better to have lived and loved than never to have loved at all?" Both of them lived their lives courageously
It was from her memoir. They couldn't change it much. She went on to write many books after returning to Denmark, so she did something good with the rest of her life.
