Great.
So... What else has come Out of Africa? Any cars? Any manufactured product? Any inventions? Anything useful aside from natural resources? Not being a racist here, just talking about the underlying issues that have kept this continent in the stone age(ish) with the corrupt and inept governments and a population that won't do anything about it. |

I swear I fell asleep three times in that movie. I thought I was going to die before it ended. It never occurred to me there were positive aspects to it... |

Semi chick flick but still very well made. She is the best actress of her day. Not a "hottie" but just so classy, I would do her. Wait, is that statement "ironic". WJ

It had a few good parts. Saw it with a liberal friend (back when I had such things), and he was upset they shot the lions in self defense ("it is their home!").
Mostly, boring. |

I thought it was incredibly boring and could barely get through part of it.

I've got the book, too, a very good read. She lead a life that very few people get a chance to, let alone actually do it.
