The heroine loves to own, she is strong and vain, like most Europeans who colonized Africa. She is the same but different from those people, her other side - romantic innocence, likes to tell stories, hard work and unyielding. He met a man in Africa who made his heart move - he was free and unconstrained, and he didn't like to restrict others, his relationship with the aborigines was independent, he regarded himself as an African and respected everything. Although their values are different, they are attracted to each other, and because of their love for each other, they are willing to change their inherent concepts. The heroine changed, from being cautious to not caring about her belongings, and finally sold it. The theme of the whole film always revolves around the issue of "the necessity of privatization". The mistress wants to have everything she wants, which is to privatize them - she owns pearls, china, she owns a farm, which servants she has, who she loves. In the end, however, all her expectations were in vain. This theme alludes to the national mentality of the British Commonwealth's expansion and colonization in the world at that time. Colonization is possession - privatization. This mentality is reflected in almost everything, including mutual possession in marriage. The heroine and the man she loves have never had a marriage contract, but they love each other, although she has complained, although she will be lonely. However, this truth is understood again and again in the brief appearance and parting of men. In the end, the man died and was buried in the land of Africa, as if to silently announce to everyone that he, like Africa, does not belong to you or me, and does not belong to anyone. The heroine finally left Africa and did not go back. It is the essence of the whole film, Out of Africa (a sharper translation is - stay away from Africa). In this way, it is rare for a film to combine political meaning with the personal emotions of the protagonist. The heroine inherits the play function of the dead man and eventually becomes an absolutely positive value. Her love for this man was as deep, pure, and inviolable as her love for Africa.
