Sorry, it may be a great film....I never saw it, but my favorite film that year that I thought should have won best picture was "The Color Purple" If I remember it was`nt even until "Schindler`s LIst" that Steven Speilberg won an Oscar at all, and that was for best director

This film, this music, transports those of us who grew up in the old Africa magically back to there, and then. Growing up in the African bush was very special. I wrote my story in 'Speak Swahili, Dammit!'

Great movie. Lovers of Africa appreciate it. I grew up in Tanganyika, later Tanzania, then went to a Kenya boarding school. I know the house in Karen, near Nairobi, where most of the film was shot. My book, 'Speak Swahili, Dammit!', the story of my own wild East African childhood, is doing well on Amazon, & as an Apple iBook & Kindle eBook. Short video on youtube, with original footage in the bush 1950's & 60's, under Speak Swahili, Dammit!

The best from Streep, Redford, Pollack and Barry. Hollywood at it's best.

@givemethecatfood You must be very proud of her. She was one of the very first true feminists and she did it the hard way. Not by carrying a sign and marching but by doing. It still surprises me that so many of the thoughts she admitted to in "Out of Africa" I have had myself; so many of her viewpoints. She knew well how to phrase her thoughts in a stunningly original way and to give form to the feelings and thoughts residing in most women, were they honest with themselves.
She was absolutely robbed of the Oscar for this film, this is one of the great american masterpeices of cinema... long live Meryl !!
