Number 98 on The 100 Greatest Movies Of The Eighties. Out Of Africa is the epic chick flick with Meryl Streep as the strong, fighter type and Robert Redford living the dream until she convinces him to chuck it all and be her man. It doesn't end well for him. The movie itself, however, is beautifully filmed. Africa looks stunning and the cinematography is spectacular.
Also, while watching this movie on Saturday my tooth started hurting something fierce. By Saturday night I was writhing in pain and by Sunday I was a zombie. The tooth has since been extracted but this movie will forever be connected to the dentist for me. Now it's tome for my vicoden.
Stolen from Wikipedia:Out of Africa is a 1985 adventure drama film directed and produced by Sydney Pollack, and starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.The story based loosely on the autobiographical book Out of Africa written by Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of the author Karen Blixen), which was published in 1937, with additional material from Dinesen's book Shadows on the Grass and other sources.
Favorite Quote: "Perhaps he knew, as I did not, that the Earth was made round so that we would not see too far down the road."
Favorite Scene: Monkeys and a gramophone
Awards:Won 7 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress for Meryl Streep
Would Jessica like this movie? She watched a little of it but it's a long movie.
Next Movie: Fatal Attraction
This week we are preparing for our wedding coming up this weekend so I may not get to watch the movie till next week.
