Movie Analysis: Mufasa

This is because Scar does not want to confront the fact that he fails as King compared to Mufasa as this would destroy his superior image of himself, which substantiates his narcissistic sensitivity to criticism. Such narcissistic sensitivity to criticism is a prominent trait in sociopaths, as many of them are unwilling to accept disapproval since it opposes their ego. Next, Scar’s intolerance of failure further exhibits his narcissistic sensitivity to criticism. Simba’s mother warns Scar that “you have sentenced us to death!” after he refuses to abandon the Pridelands in result of the food insecurity. Scar then responds, “Then so be it”. Scar’s refusal displays his inability to accept that he has not been able to uphold the same prosperity in his Kingdom compared to Mufasa’s reign since acknowledging that would indicate that Scar fails as being King. Therefore, this confirms Scar’s sociopathy because sociopaths are unable to accept failure since that would signify their flaws and damage their grandiose self-image. Lastly, Scar’s inability to admit his wrongdoings further indicates his narcissistic sensitivity to

The movie “Wit” was very touching story about 48 year old English professor, Vivian, who is diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Her physician gets her to agree to an aggressive chemotherapy treatment which is a research experiment. He tells her that the therapy is the best way to cure here cancer. Vivian went through eight months of rigorous and often painful experimental treatment especially the final weeks of her life. One of her former student, Jason, is a researcher on the team. Jason is very intelligent person but insensitivity to Vivian. He always come in the room and question such as “how are you feeling today?”, which after while loses all meaning. On the other hand she has her primary care nurse, Susie, shows compassion and sense of code of ethics which brings her into conflicts at time with the physician.

After Mufasa's death, Scar became a ruthless tyrant, ruling the Pride Lands through malice and oppression. In the following years, Scar denounced the laws created by his brother and caused a massive decline in their resources. Despite this turn of events, Nala managed to find their knight in shining armor; the lost prince of the Pride Lands. Once Simba returns, the prince orders the villainous tyrant to forfeit his title as king, however; Scar refused to resign. As a result, the pair engage in a brief skirmish to determine the true ruler of the pride lands. Near the climax of their confrontation, Simba managed to catapult his uncle off the ledge of Pride Rock. Eventually, Scar loses his life when a pack of Hyenas murder the former king and

“Interested in your father’s glorious family tree? You aren’t included, it only includes men’s names.” In the film ‘Wadjda’, directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour, a girl named Wadjda from the male-dominated culture of Saudi Arabia sees a green bike that she strives her hardest to own. Although could the bike be a metaphor for something deeper? Some may say the bike is nothing more than a plain old bike, but in this essay, I will discuss how and why the green bike symbolises more than a mere green bike. The focus will be on the significance of the bike, why it has been chosen to act as the metaphor, and how/why the director has chosen it to show that Wadjda is subversive.

Therefore, Scar purposefully lures Simba and Mufasa into stampede of wild beast. Simba was lucky and spirited away as he escaped the stampede

Determination drives people to undertake a mission that could change their lives. Rikki-Tikki risked his life just to keep his new family safe from danger; Farah Ahmedi climbed a mountain on a prosthetic leg so that her mother and her can be free from Afghanistan, a war country; Cap walked the Klondike through cruel weather in order to keep a promise to a late friend. Farah Ahmedi was determined to escape the war in her city, Rikki-Tikki wanted to keep is family safe and Cap wanted to keep his promise in order to feel relief, they all had a mission to reach their goal.

Scar’s character in The Lion King mirrors his apprehensions of his father’s abandonment and neglect while manifesting those feelings towards his longing for a sense of power. His sense of anger towards his brother Mufasa, also illustrates how he feels small in front of him not only as the younger sibling but also because his fathers respect and acceptance of him made Scar have a inferiority complex. Scar felt like he has to be the opposite of his brother who is generous and has a understanding of how the Pridelands can flourish, these aspects shows how Scar has always been consumed with resentment towards the adults in his family. Scars character validates how power corrupts, and eventually poisons the people and habitat around you.

Mufasa was the brother that was more extroverted, he had the throne, the strength, and all the good looks. Throughout the scenes in the movie you could see Mufasa had a personality of someone that was a strong, proud, and the dominant ruler of his kingdom. He was willing to protect his kingdom prepared to fight when he thought Scar had challenged him. He did all of that until his death, dying when recusing Simba from the stampede of wildebeest. He puts his trust into his brother who very easily betrayed him. Scar was the more introverted brother, he was much smarter than Mufasa, but didn’t have the looks, and his longing for the throne made him very deceptive. He produced the plan to at first kill his nephew, and then his brother. The first plan to kill Simba was by tricking him into going out into the elephant graveyard to be attacked and eaten by the hyenas. When that didn’t work he came up with the plan to kill Mufasa by not actually having to do it himself, giving the hyenas instructions when to create the stampede in which he had placed Simba right down in the middle of, knowing Mufasa would try to save him, because that is his son. These two brothers were very different Scar had a dark side going on while Mufasa was more of the bright light. One could say the message is that it it is brawn over brains which gets you money, power, and respect in the world we are living in

Scar states that the others are not going to handle the news very well and that they will forever blame him, even though Simba was not the cause of the incident. Scar convinces Simba that Mufasa’s death was his fault and that he should feel ashamed just so Scar could take over the throne. Power can be used for good or evil; it depends on who holds it. Simba and Hamlet have to gain the power back from the evil characters who hold it.

Mufasa’s brother Scar is Disney’s equivalent of Old Hamlet’s brother Claudius. In “Hamlet” Old Hamlet’s brother Claudius poisoned him in order to claim the throne from his older brother. In “The Lion King” Mufasa died because his brother Scar threw him off the side

The Lion King is a classic Disney film that features a hero within it. The film's main character Simba is the son of Mufasa, the King of the jungle. Simba is born to be the next King, but Scar, Mufasa's brother, plots to kill them both and take the throne as King. Scar tricks Simba into going to the Elephant graveyard because Simba has no comprehension that Scar would try and kill him, but when he arrives there, he is nearly killed. Simba's mentor is Mufasa; he teaches him to lead. Later Rafiki the baboon serves as a guide to encourage Simba to take action. Mufasa is soon killed in a stampede of wildebeests, leaving Simba to run away believing he killed his father. Simba meets up with Timon and Pumba learning their carefree lifestyle. But meanwhile

As Simba bolts after Rafiki, he encounters minor obstacles. He has to dodge branches and roots, untangle from the webs of spiders webs, and unknot himself from vines that were holding him back. These minor incidences reinforce the challenge that is about to be placed upon him by Mufasa and Rafiki. Mufasa and Rafiki try and convince Simba that he must go back and take his home over from Scar, but in order to do so he must free his mind from the past. Eventually while doing so, Simba realizes the web of lies Scar told about Mufasa’s death, resulting in the removal of his own guilt. While running he was dodging the roots and branches, just like he was dodging his lineages responsibility. After the discussion with Rafiki, Simba also gets over the past that was keeping him back and tied down away from Pride Rock.

Scar uses Simba’s adventurous and curious characteristics to his own advantage. Scar purposely lures Simba to the elephant graveyard even though he is aware of the dangers that could potentially harm Simba. “And he's absolutely right. It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there” (The Lion King). Scar is aware that in order to become king, he needs Simba and Mufasa to not be in the kingdom. During this scene Scar tricks

Although The Lion King and Macbeth seems like two different stories. One is set in the medieval era while the other is set in postmodernity, but both displays the similarities of the character’s strategic battle for power. Scar, known as the villain in the movie, The Lion King, committed selfish acts to fulfill his distorted desires. As Simba was at the edge of the cliff, about to be murdered by Scar, Scar snarled at him, “That [is] the way your father looked before I killed him” (The Lion King). Simba leaped up from the side of the cliff, and pushed Scar to the ground demanding him to confess to his crime of killing the king, his father, Mufasa. This quote proves that Scar’s ambition leads him to do ruthless acts, wanting to kill Simba, who was next in line of the throne. These malevolent plots are what fuels the battle of evil against the good. Scar stated to his three murders, the Hyenas, “We [are] going to kill him. And Simba, too” (The Lion King). In the movie, The Lion King, shows that Scar is resentful of the king, Mufasa, and the power he retains. In this quote, he plans a plot on who he wants to kill with the three hyenas to help him finish the deed, which shows his strong ambitions. Another
