剧 情:
《走出非洲》是一部表现得而复失-丧失了像田园诗一般美好、质朴生活的影片。梅丽尔.斯特里普扮演的女主人公卡伦是丹麦一个富家女,她美丽、聪颖、性情深沉、感情丰富、但虚荣心较强。为了博得男爵夫人的称号,负气之下与远在非洲的布里克森男爵结婚。卡伦对非洲的原始森林、野生动物十分感兴趣,并因此认识了英国人丹尼斯,丹尼斯在一次偶然的机会帮助她脱离狮口,两人成为了朋友。并十分欣赏对方。
布里克森男爵生活极其放荡,并因此得了梅毒,还传染给了卡伦,为了治病,卡伦不得不回丹麦。归来后布里克森男爵已离家出走,俩人的婚姻名存实亡。卡伦与丹尼斯的关系更见密切,两人时常同游非洲大草原,度过了一段美好的时光。卡伦独立经营非洲的农场,还办起了土着人学校,并为此倾注了极大的爱心和精力。
不幸的是在1930年左右,她刚刚丰收的咖啡园惨遭火灾,几乎烧成灰烬。因经济拮据,她不得不卖出庄园。祸不单行,与此同时,打算和她长期厮守的丹尼斯却因驾机失事坠入山谷而丧生。在经济和感情上的双重打击下,卡伦不得不告别度过了她青春岁月的非洲,满怀哀怨怅惘离开了她这片曾经带给她痛苦、爱和勇气的土地……
幕 后:
1986年的奥斯卡金像奖的评选中,《走出非洲》一举夺得了最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳配乐、最佳摄影、最佳美工、最佳音响7项奖,是当年美国影坛的最大赢家。在1995年美国《时代周刊》和《华尔街日报》等媒体综合评价中,《走出非洲》也高居1985年10部最卖座影片的前列。
这部影片由三部小说改编而成,它们分别是丹麦女作家艾萨克丹森的小说《走出非洲》、《草地上的影子》、朱迪思瑟曼写的传记《艾萨克丹森,一位小说家的一生》和埃罗尔特尔泽宾斯基写的传记《沉默将被打破》。影片最吸引人指出在于:不仅影片蕴含有动人的浪漫故事,还有迷人的非洲风光。影片所有外景都是在肯尼亚实地拍摄,这也是吸引广大美国观众的特点之一。
电影结合了大导演西德尼.波拉克;着名演员梅丽尔.斯特里普、罗伯特.雷德福等,使得影片制作有相当的水准,把一部情节平淡、节奏缓慢,文学气息浓厚的影片拍的如此成功,精良的制作小组可谓功不可没。

Meryl Streep in Out of Africa

Thank you for sharing the thoughts!
Glad you like Meryl Streep, one of the few female actors whose performance I am crazy about. To me, she is one of the greatest actors ever, not only for the contemporary era, but at all times. Her name should be listed, neck to neck, with all the other great actors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, etc. In this movie, she make a great match with Robert Redford.
Redford is another film maker who I like very much, but thought his directing career is not as marvelous as his acting, espeically in those of his early movies. I actually watched Horse Whisper, one of his directing pieces, where he in the movie paired up with the Brit actor, Kristin S. Thomas (the one starring The English Patient). It's a good one, but could be better.
As for Out of Africa, I thought this is the best among all the films directed by Sydney Pollack.
Thanks again for the sharing!
I watched this movie a long time ago, when I was still an undergrad. Barely remember the whole story. But I do love Meryl. She is one of the greatest actresses in the States. She is good at play in almost every type of movie, including comedy, horror, drama. To me, she was born to be an actress though she has never been thought pretty or sexy.
Robert Redford is one of the most successful actors. I have seen his movie "The way we were". Horsewhisper was said to be one of his best too. He is also a great director as far as I know.
Should watch again.
Much appreciation.
