The Lion King 9/10

We gave The Lion King 9/10 because it has a very fluent storyline and has wonderful values for everyone, adults and the like. This movie is very great in terms of visual effects and the characters are all instrumental to make the movie work. Sometimes people who you least expect will stab you in the back as seen when Scar convinced Simba it was his fault why his father, Mufasa died while in fact it was Scar who betrayed them all. This movie can correct juvenile delinquents depending on how they see themselves or how they see their lives similar to the movie. They would be able to see how stepping on others will hurt other people like when Scar was manipulating Simba to get his trust and then break this trust by showing his true intentions. This symbolizes that one should not treat others badly especially when someone did not do you any wrong, in short being a bully. They can also see how running away from the hardships of life affect their future. Like when Simba decided to run away from pride rock just so that he could get away from all the problems and find an alternative to a beautiful life and when he thought he already found it, Nala finds Simba and told him that he should go back to pride rock. People says that everything you try to avoid will eventually find you. So this symbolizes that instead running away from hardships like taking drugs and alcohol, one must confront his own problems and deal with it accordingly. The last one is when Simba finally got back pride rock and restored it to the way it was. This symbolizes that everything has a solution when you are already down to the lowest, there is no were else to go except so when you lose everything, you have everything to gain.

The Critique for The Lion King

Simba is the main protagonish of the movie and story “The Lion King”. Simba is a lion who is the son of Mufasa, the king of all animals. He as a kid was always very cheerful in everything he did and kept doing many crazy things, which made his parents worry all the time. He had an uncle Scar who betrayed him and got his father killed. We can see in the earlier stages in the movie that he has a child morality because he simply believed his uncle even though it wasn't really his fault his father died. And because of the unrequited shame he ran away from it all where he met Timoun and Pumbaa.

Timoun and Pumbaa sort of influenced Simba as his morality matured into adolescence. For many years he forgoed his responsibility and lived “Hakunah Matatah” which means no worries and thus enjoyed his blissful ignorance for a long time. He probably would have not went back to pride rock if Nala had not come and meet him after a very long time. Until he met his childhood friend Nalah after so long and he after meeting the baboon Rafiki he saw a “vision” of his father which convinced him to go back. His friend Nalah was convincing him to face his responsiblites but because of the influence of Timoun and Pumbaa he was distraught and unable to make a concrete decision.

It was only then when he met his supposed father in a supposed vision when he realized he had to stop procrastinating and came back to the Pride Rock. Thus in the later part of the film we see Simba exhibiting adolescent morality still since he is influenced by his father but nevertheless it is constantly changing for the better. He also carries a sense of justice and honor. He wishes to right his wrongs at the key point in the future when he stood up to his Uncle and fought over the leadership of the pride. After so many years of running his evolution was evident. As a child he showed great signs of child morality and it grew into adolescence and the only point he became mature is when he attempted to save his biggest enemy, Scar. This shows how much he respects him and made a moral choice to save his life. However even though he tried Scar inevitabely fell to the horde of animals and got trampled and obviously died. He exhibited great signs of everchanging morality as a child and as an adolescent because he was heavily influenced by his father, Mufasa. And in the end he grew mature morality when attempted to save his Uncle and overall became a great leader of the Pride.
Simba can be seen as a person who cares for his family and friends. Simba sometimes fall into temptation like not listening to his father and go do it anyway. He started out as a very innocent and loving child, who was free of any problems, but everything changed because of what happened after scar betrayed them. At first, he was not free because he was enslaved by the past and decided to just have fun with his friends. But he became truly free when he decided to go back to pride rock and save his family who truly needs him at that time. In conclusion the movie “The Lion King” shows the growth and metamorphosis of the prontagonist, Simba to a true Lion King.
