All These Things Are True

I watched Out of Africa for the first time last night. It has become one of my favorite movies, and worked its way deep into my subconscious.

I don't think I've seen better emotional commentary on the way people love eachother. I see so much of myself in the film, and I fell in love with it, and it broke my heart.

I've spent today poring over the real life facts over the extraordinary Karen Blixen. And I find myself with an odd longing to have a pet owl.

My favorite quote from the film, attributed to the screenwriter Kurt Luedtke, is "The earth was made round so that one cannot see too far down the road."
