film Review

Simba has a lot to learn. And Mufasa is always looking for ways to teach him. Mufasa took the time to help Simba explore the vast African valley, their kingdom, a land that stretches straight to the bay.

He explained important topics, including things about the balance between animals big and small, good and evil. Mufasa offers a carpet of a constantly renewing existence, birth and death, a circle of life.

Simba heard his father's words. Some of the boys were concerned, others didn't seem to be real enough. But usually, he is more interested in the interesting things of life: roaming the grass, chasing small birds, rolling with Nala.

Unfortunately, Simba's position cannot go on with the absurd joy of the crown prince's great expectations. When a prince does not heed his father's words, he will be easily fooled by those who want to manipulate him.

For example, Simba's hungry and strong Scar doesn't want anything better for him but quietly deceives him into thinking he was the one who killed Mufasa in The Lion King.

Yes, Simba has a lot to learn if he wants to reclaim the throne of Pride Lands from his uncle, Scar. It would be silly forever if Simba bumped into a carefree warthog and meerkat, so he wasn't sure if he really wanted to become the Lion King.

Positive factors

Mufasa tries to teach his young son the importance of respect and wisdom. “The influence of a king as ruler comes up and sets like the sun”, “While others are looking for what they can get, a king is really looking for what he can get. for." He also talked about his responsibility to protect the Pride Land, as well as helping his son understand the position of the lion's pride in the life cycle.

Mufasa points out the stupidity of Simba's disobedience and false courage with hyenas. "Being brave doesn't mean you're looking for trouble," he said. Because when saving his son, there is no limit to Mufasa's courage. (Many other characters throughout the film, including Nala, Simba's mother and eventually Simba himself make bold, self-sacrificing choices to protect others.)

Much later, Simba realized that he had to go home and admit his cowardice when fleeing. He realized that he must embrace and follow all the virtues that Mufasa had.

In doing so, Simba regained his respect for pride and began to set everything up. Simba gradually learns that life requires more to be happy than just doing whatever you want. It requires you to show responsibility to others, that you must stand up and do what is right.

Simba meets two new friends, Pumbaa (warthog) and Timon (meerkat). They taught him the song "Hakuna Matata", which means "no need to worry." That carefree philosophy is in some ways a healthy thing, because this couple really doesn't worry about anything.

When Scar took over as king, he moved the hyenas into the Pride Land. Result? The land began to wither, and other herds were hunted and chased away. The film cleverly uses that effect as a metaphorical illustration of how to move from good practice wisdom to the dark and selfish choice that ultimately leads to the destruction of everything.

When Simba confronts the evil Scar, he is afraid his grandson will kill him. But Simba said, "No, Scar, I'm not like you."

Spiritual element in the Lion King (The Lion King)

The vast kingdom of Pride is imbued with a common spiritual mode. Next film saw it represented by baboon mage Rafiki. He performed a number of small related rituals with fruit juice, dye and other pieces and pieces of nature. He studies insect forms on stumps to look for signs and signs, like the chicken-leg king of Vietnam. And he noticed the messages of goodness Simba coming.

When Rafiki met Simba, the baboon told the young lion, "I know your father. He is still alive and I will let him see you. Mufasa still lives inside you. ” Later, Mufasa told Simba that stars are really "great kings of our past". Indeed, there is a clear sense of an afterlife, although sometimes these spiritual procedures also follow the feeling of ancestor worship.

Elsewhere, we hear about the lives and deaths of many other animals that are part of the natural cycle. A cycle imbalanced by Scar's greed and mismanagement of the Pride Land. But when Simba returned and regained his rightful throne, the rains came again and the land became green and fertile again, as if symbolic harmony with a land where everything was. again created.

At one point, Pumbaa and Timon said that living without worry means eating, drinking and living a "pointless life of apathy." Life is not a loop, in their view, but in a straight line. And one day you come to the end of the line and everything ends up, it's pointless, so why don't we enjoy the fun. (The film's psychic world, however, counteracts this gloomy outlook.)

The Lion King is not an intentional Christian film. But, we can still find some similarities between this story and the Christian story. We hear of the goodness of light compared to the ruin of darkness. We hear of a king's son 'returning from the dead' to help his people.

Remember when the little lion Simba was born, it was a gift to the kingdom, all the animals bowed to him. Much later, a Simba grapples with memories, things his father used to teach in the past, what he had to do. After the unexpected meeting, Mufasa encouraged the little lion "to remember who you are: You have grown, you are my son and be a true king."

Decided to see

found that this new version of Favreau's story is both visually striking and emotionally resonating, with the addition of depth and construction to the characters as well as the lips. school around which they live.

After the realistic footage of the animal world, The Lion King brings messages about the profound life, the responsibility of each person through the scene where Father Mufasa teaches Simba about the rules of life.

Compared to the original version, The Lion King in 2019 is more impressive when there are many interesting and well-built characters. This is definitely a movie that children love, suitable for the big family when going to watch together. The film will bring the emotions of a childhood to the audience.
