Forgive my ignorance, I just didn't understand

I can't understand why Lucy is determined not to leave the place where she has been and will continue to cause her great harm. She refuses to call the police, insists on giving birth to the rapist's child, promises to marry the rapist's relatives, and volunteers her land to protect her like a mother Protecting the rapist like a child, and turning against her father again and again... She simply stayed here with the belief that she was going to die. What is the magic power in this place that can make her unable to move, even if she wants to die? She always cried that you don't understand, I really don't understand, why can't you let us understand?

She seems to have some kind of mission, as if God asked her to pay for the injustices that white people inflict on black people. If that's what the director was trying to say, to get Lucy to volunteer herself as a sacrifice, I'd just say it's ridiculous, he's totally out of touch with humanity.

All the seemingly advanced film reviews failed to make me agree. The awakening of Samsung to the father.

Take a look at the original work, I don't believe that a work that won the Nobel Prize for literature is so far-fetched, many details seem to have deep meaning, such as why the last dog was executed. All I can say is that if he can't get the audience to understand, then no amount of deep meaning is a failure.
