I don’t think that he could have comprehended what it was like in the big city until he went there. Stephen is the leader of a tribe and lives in a small village so he is isolated from what is going on in the larger cities.
Another big theme I found was isolation in both the movie and book in the book. Cry, the Beloved Country, is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son, Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people. The movie has also has fear as a very strong theme there is constant police harassment of blacks and other minorities there are caged like animals in not being able to leave there boundaries with out getting in trouble. Then he travels to a big city named Johannesburg to find he sister he has know Idea what is going on then he finds his son that is a really bad criminal and ends up getting put to death by the court. In the book the first sigh of fear is right in the beginning when he is scared to open a letter because he thinks that it will be a bad letter. One of the biggest themes found in the movie and the book is fear. A believer, I am familiar with Christian fiction but no Christian book Ive read compares. The book and the movie have many parallel themes. Setting: Ndotsheni & Johannesburg, South Africa, in the 1940s. The movie is about a reporter who goes to South Africa to find out what it was like in the apartheid. The theme of the movie Cry Freedom is a lot like the book. It talks about a man from a small village named Ndotsheni who travels to a large city to help his city. The book Cry, the Beloved Country is an interesting novel about apartheid in South Africa. Cry, the Beloved Country, novel by Alan Paton, published in 1948.
