Haven’t actually ever watched *most* of this, but with you guys I will! My family lived in Kenya for a few years in middle/high school. The guy who was my drama teacher was a British guy who’d lived there for a long time. The thing I always heard people say about him was that he’d “been in Out of Africa”. When I finally looked up his scene years later . . . he’s in literally maybe 2 seconds. (“Missionary Teacher.”) I’ve got family who’ve done commercials and community theater while working “regular jobs” as their main income, so to be clear— I’d never judge someone for trying the film acting thing and not “making it”. That’s MOST people who try it! THAT BEING SAID. This guy was NOT a good teacher, nor a nice person to his students. So the fact that he bigged himself up like that is pretty funny to me. He did go on, later, to have a scene in The Constant Gardener (a pretty good movie if you haven’t seen it), alongside my former French teacher and best friend’s dad, John Sibi-Okumu, who is GREAT. This is Pearson’s IMDB: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0669312/

This was all based on real events, and Karen Blixen did become a writer, mostly of short stories and autobiographical works. This movie was mostly based on a portion of the book "Out of Africa" which she published under the name Isak Dinesen. She won many Danish literary awards, and was considered for the Nobel Prize in literature. When Hemingway won the prize in 1954, he stated that Blixen deserved the prize more than he did. In reality, when Denys was killed in the plane crash, Karen was one of the last to hear the news. She actually went to a luncheon where everyone had already heard, but they all avoided speaking to her or even looking at her. Finally one of the wives pulled her aside and told her. The actress who played Berkeley's lady friend was Iman, whom you may know as the wife of the late David Bowie. The character of Felicity was based on aviator Beryl Markham, who became the first person to fly solo, non-stop across the Atlantic from Britain to North America in 1936. She told her story in the memoir "West With the Night." By coincidence, this movie takes place roughly in the same time period as "Doctor Zhivago," another sprawling epic which you will soon be reacting to.

I’m well into double digits as to how many times I’ve experienced this epic film. It’s a story that sweeps you away into a world and time that no longer exists. It never gets old. Thoroughly enjoyed both your reactions. I’ve been afraid that if someone did finally react to this film they’d find it too long or too much of a slow burn. Definitely not disappointed. Thanks guys!!

Loved this film. I really can't wait to watch this again and have a movie night with friends and show them this amazing film.

Can't wait to watch Doctor Zhivago if that's the case. I found everything about this fascinating. I need more sweeping romance!
