live action version of The Lion King is soon to come, it would be inappropriate to not take a look back at Disney classic. The movie discussed topics that many children had never learned; which helped change the perspective of Disney forever. Along with a new perspective, the film brings a flavor that is definitely new to Disney movies. Before someone watches the upcoming live action film, they must first fall in love, if they already haven’t, with the original movie. The Lion King is incomparable to

The Populist party grew exponentially and in 1896 Bryan was the democratic presidential nominee where he only lost by 95 electoral votes. Many people see the “Wizard Of Oz” as a representation of the populist movement. These similarities can be seen in the group traveling to emerald city

In many texts and films from thousands of years ago to modern literature today the mentor archetype has been expressed. This archetype is common in many movies, for example in the Lion King, where Simba is taught how to rule the kingdom by his father, or in Rocky where he is taught how to become a better fighter by his coach Micky, and even in the Hunger Games where Katniss and Peeta are taught how to survive by their mentor Haymitch.

Maya Angelou once said, “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people”. Heroes, no matter the tasks they have to deal with, will always try to make a better place for the people around them. Heroes have courage and will be able to overcome most anything.

In his article published in 1975, James Rachels seeks to pose an unsound difference between passive and active euthanasia, and explains a strong case as to how these two are essentially the same thing when it comes to committing murder. One can argue both cases: according to the American Medical Association “The intentional termination of the life of one human being by another- mercy killing- Is contrary to that for which the medical profession stands and is contrary to the policy of the American

“What do you mean Mufasa had a son!?” Scar roared, scaring the hyenas who had brought the news of calamity. “Y-yes, he is to be presented in two day’s time.” Shenzi said, as the other hyenas backed away. Scar paced back and forth across the width of the cave he now calls home. I must bide my time before I can get back my rightful throne. If I attack to soon dissension might break out in the pride and I will surely lose my newly gained thrown. He would wait for the designated time before returning

and must produce products or ideas that others can relate to universally. Shakespeare is someone who, like others, has developed themes and ideas that are timeless, as well as exposed eternal truths about the human condition that is relatable. In The Lion King and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, both writers use main characters that must make a tough decision. Within Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The Charge of the Light Brigade”, and Shakespeare’s King Henry V, each writer describes a leader having to encourage soldiers

My chosen film is The Lion King, from the AFI: Top 10 movie listed provided along with this discussion.

The Lion King has always been considered a symbolic film teaching children not to dwell in the past. To demonstrate that what happens in the past does not matter, it will prevail how the person grows from it. Simba’s past was not the best, however he grew from it.
