A Fictional Dialogue, Anticipatory of Your Objections to the Present Use of a Book Forum as a Film Forum You: Greg, you read Out of Africa? Me: No, but I saw the movie of the same name this weekend. You: Why are you telling me this? Particularly here? Me: Because no one reads me on Netflix, and at least two people read me here. Keep Out of Africa off your Netflix queue. There are of course two conventional camps of opinion about movies like this one. Other movies that belong in this family include Titanic and The English Patient. These are movies that we go into knowing ahead of time that we are expected by one of the camps to love the movie in question, and being fully aware also that there is the other and opposite camp, the one which expects us to hate the movie. The existence of the hate camp is perfectly understandable from an aesthetic point of view because there is something so distasteful (nearly diseased) about being told relentlessly (and breathlessly) that one MUST admire the movie. However, this objection to being cornered into a particular opinion does not in itself discredit the possibility that the movie might in fact be GOOD. No. The possibility continues to exist that it will be BOTH GOOD and POPULARLY ACCLAIMED. However, as the hate camp will hasten to show, this coincidence of merit and popularity is quite unusual. Anyway, I’m in the hate camp with respect to Africa. It was just as overblown and underwritten as its critics have likely implied. (No I haven’t read the blurbs on Netflix, nor the old rotten tomatoes stuff. I’m just assuming that this movie has the usual two camps, its champions and its enemies.) Well if you HAVE TO make a movie about a lonely Danish baroness and how she blesses the natives of Kenya with her gracious wit and her building of a village school, then it will HAVE TO star Meryl Streep. And Robert Redford will HAVE TO be the Lord Byron/Heathcliff figure. None of these things guarantees a bad result, not at all. Its just that there is a bad result. Redford actually drops a “what-difference-would-a-piece-of-paper-make?” bomb. As in, why should we marry? I’m free, you’re free, etc. Now why did he say that? Why did he say that line? Or why was it written, or rather plagiarized and regurgitated in that particular way? I mean, what’s the point of writing a script if it’s going to include the observation that a romantic relationship is not altered by bringing in a piece of paper??? Because we’ve already heard that line in lots of different sitcoms and it has no place in what keeps on trying to be an epic but keeps on winding up a soap opera.
