昨天晚上去看的電影，這部片的一切都超乎我的期望，很有藝術價值！甚至比我專程去朝聖的侯孝賢電影-最好的時光，還值得向大家推薦。

一. 故事內容:
以兩個路線同步交叉進行，一方面是試圖揭穿英國政府的弊端，另一面是外交官在徹查妻子死亡原因的同時，才真正的認識了他的妻子及他們之間的感情。這樣的橋段安排的環環相扣，不落俗套，在硬梆梆，又令人怵目驚心的政治、商業陰謀下，還能有那真執的情感撫慰人心。

二.故事背景:
故事主軸開始在英國，後續發展在非洲，其中本來就參雜著殖民地情結，加上男女主角對於這兩個國家的態度及觀念是非常的南轅北轍，引發出的連帶效應是一波接一波的。

三.主角個性:
男主角-駐非洲的外交官
典型的溫文儒雅英國紳士，好脾氣，唯一的嗜好就是園藝。對於非洲的一切，只把它當作一份工作，不想多花時間去了解或幫助，也不想惹麻煩。
女主角-本來是記者，後來成為外交官夫人
慷慨激昂，對於一切看不慣的事都要爭一口氣，痛恨英國政府的所作所為，婚後把所有的時間都花在關心非洲的人事物上，盡一切所能的去幫助當地人。
兩個人之間所產生的摩擦及火花，不言而喻。
People say opposite attracts, but afterwards, if they can’t really understand each other, it also be the reason that things fall apart.
男主角一直到他老婆死了之後，才藉由追查死因的過程中，真正的了解了她，真正了解她為了保護非洲、保護他，究竟是花了多少的心力。

三.美術效果
I can’t not really describe it into words, its just beautiful. When the scenes happended in Africa, its always vivid, colorful, but when it change to London, it became colorless and gloomy. This director not only use actors to tell stories, he also use color and music. He puts local Africa music in there, on the other side, he puts piano solo whenever the scenes change back to England. And the piano solo is the kind of cold and sad, instead of passionate.

四. The impact
It is definitely a sad movie, but with courage and love. The sadness is about how can powerful countries because of benefits, business interests and political reasons to oppress some third countries, like Africa.
And people always thinks there are too many people out there, who needs our help, but with our little power, nothing can be changed, so we refuse to give, but have you ever think about that, if everyone is having the same thought like that, no one is gonna getting help from anyone. However, as long as we can change our way of thinking, no matter how many people or things we cannot help or change, but there is always someone or something around you, which can be different with your little limited power. And that is good enough.
