Disney 's The Lion King is one of the most iconic children 's films of all time. However, behind the Hakunah Matata lies a movie laced with symbolism and mythical references.

The film, Beasts of the Southern Wild, tell the story of a rural community called Bathtub in Southern Louisiana to induce themes of classism and community ties. Behn Zeitlin does a great job reminding us of our connection with each other and the world around us. The Americana aesthetic of the film mirrors our hero’s resiliency in the face of destruction. At stake in this aesthetic and exploration of these politically charged themes is an interpretation on how we can connect to each other across racial, economic, and social divides.

Both “Raising Voices for Cecil the Lion” by National Public Radio author Barbara J. King and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies have an underlying theme of how society works and comes together to deal with a threat or problem. They both show that people do tend to unite on sides of an issue.

The theatrical film The Lion In Winter stars Peter O’Toole as King Henry II, and Katharine Hepburn as his wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Adapted from his stage play of the same title, author James Goldman provides a fictional, but plausible, account of intra-family deceit and political conniving within the large and powerful Angevin Empire, which spanned much of the land that is now Britain, and much of what is now Northeastern France, within the medieval world. Directed and edited by Anthony Harvey, the story, set in the winter of 1183, details the succession crisis faced by the aging King Henry II, as his three surviving sons vie for the crown, and Queen Eleanor plots, both with and against them, to regain her freedom, and become the

Growing up, I have been to multiple theatre productions. I have seen the musical Wicked and the Lion King on Broadway, A Christmas Carol at the Alley Theatre and several high school productions including Greese and Much Ado About Nothing. This production was much different than the ones I have been to in the past. This play was on a smaller scale and the cast was smaller. However, this production felt more intimate since the audience was physically closer to the actors.

Today's world requires leadership to compete and succeed. The rapidly changing conditions in the workplace demand adaptive leadership styles, and the success of an organization relies on leaders evaluating and applying effective leadership styles before workplace failures occur.

Nocturnal Animals is a movie written and directed and by the fashion juggernaut Tom Ford, who used capital earned from his brand to fund most of his movies and become a film director. In my opinion, Ford was extremely successful in transferring his artistry and creativity to cross the bridge from the fashion industry taking it to Hollywood.

Today it is clear that there was no valid reason for the United States being involved in the conflict of the Vietnam War. Blinded by the fear of communism, the US entered the war in 1964. During the following nine years, nearly two million men were drafted. At first, the American public did support the war, but as it went on opinions shifted. The anti-war movement was fueled by young American protesters who were adamant that the US should not have gotten involved. Now 44 years later, director Jordan Vogt- Robert took influential elements of the war and its anti-war culture and turned it into a franchised monster movie. Kong: Skull Island is not quite a cinema masterpiece, but through it is symbolism, views on war, color choices, and soundtrack make it an effective statement on Vietnam War.

It is amazing how a seemingly educated woman that has won Oscar awards for her documentaries, could possibly be so far off base in her review of the Disney movie “The Lion King”. Margaret Lazarus has taken a movie made for the entertainment of children and turned it into something that is racist, sexist and stereotypes gender roles. She uses many personal arguments to review the movie but offers few solutions. The author is well organized but she lacks alternate points of view and does not use adequate sources. Lazarus utilizes the statement at the end of her review that “the Disney Magic entranced her children, but they and millions of other children were given hidden messages that could only do them and us harm” (118). She makes her

Despite many of the Whites not even seeing or interacting with Indians, they still thought all Indians were nothing more than drunks or killers.  It was a common view of the American public, at the time, to think that the  Native Americans were uncivilized savages who were merely blocking the way to improve and expand the growing nation. Because the Natives lived off the land, they didn’t have any paper money, and were seen as beggars. Since most, if not all, of the American public had been Christian at the time they would see the Natives’ as heathens, and think that they just needed to change and “become civilized.” The movie Dances With Wolves forever changed the way the American public viewed Native Americans because it showed that not all Indians were thieves or killers, in addition also showed that Indians were not a “poor” people, and it also showed that the Natives were both civilized and respectful.
