Not at all.
Or much more than that.
It tells the story of a woman's life. In that large period of daily life, while men come and go, how to deal with the nothingness of loneliness and loneliness, like the endless African wilderness.
This woman is amazing. She resolutely knows how to change. She came to this unfamiliar and wild place. She runs a farm, she runs a marriage, she goes out hunting with another man, she creates a school... She is like a A horse with its own Mercedes-Benz continues to maintain and expand its own territory, but no matter how tough it is, it needs a home and a guarantee.
The night when the male and female protagonists debated "freedom" was thrilling.
He said: you have a choice. Now you don't allow me.
She said: I thought you didn't need anything, now I find you want it all!
At that time, Karen wanted a guarantee, the man didn't want it;
then the man said: You ruined it... to be alone.
And the woman let him go.
This is really a memorable and emotional story, not because of the legendary experience in Africa, but because of this woman's life... so common, classic that every woman can find some shadows in it more or less. Those who think about "marriage", "love", "security", "self" and "freedom" all their lives, the various types of men we meet in our lives, large areas of loneliness, and self.
Karen doesn't necessarily win in the end, but at least among the choices that God has arranged, her answer is beautiful. She finally left a dignified and decent back to those African natives, Dennis, and her ex-husband.
