The opening song might give us a clue to prove that, since the song is in Swahili a language spoken in several countries in east Africa.There is the savannah with the diverse wildlife, and the majestic Pride Rock in the middle of it all, where the colours are “happy”, and the sun shines. This we can call the bright and good side of the world. In contrast to Pride Rock we have the elephant graveyard. It's dark, gloomy, and sad. It will definetely give you the chills. They live in an animal kingdom where the animals speak and act as humans, and lions are the

    Although the movie The Lion King is often times viewed as nothing more than a child-based movie, in actuality, it contains a much deeper meaning. It is a movie that not only displays the hardships of maturation, and the perplexities associated with growing, but it is also a movie that deals with the search for one's identity and responsibility. As said by director Julie Taymor, "In addition to being a tale about a boy's personal growth, the `Lion King' dramatizes the ritual of the `Circle of Life'." Throughout The Lion King, Simba must endeavor through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth to take his place in the circle of life, as king of the pridelands.

    Broadway’s The Lion King is a stage adaption of the 1994 Disney film. It tells the story of a young lion, Simba, living in the African Pride Lands. When his father, Mufasa, dies because of his wicked uncle, Scar, Simba flees the Pride Lands. Eventually, he meets two unlikely friends, Timon and Pumbaa. But when the ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult lion, Simba must take on his enemy and fulfill his destiny to be king. I’ve seen the show once before a few years ago, last time they came to Charlotte. After seeing the movie, the show before, and being very familiar with the music from the highly talked about broadway show, I had very high expectations for The Lion King. The show took place at the Belk Theater in Charlotte, NC on August 23rd. The stage was medium-sized with a full orchestra. The show opens up with the classic tune “Circle of Life” featuring the entire ensemble and Rafiki. This particular number really captured my attention. The music was very intense, powerful, and you felt the emotions through the strong voices. In addition, they had gigantic elephants walking w...

  • Character Analysis Of Scar In The Lion King

    He feels as if he should be king. Yet, he has different values than the other characters. His views are more towards taking power and being served as king, rather than the good deeds that Mufasa values. This just shows how different these two characters truly are. For example, when Scar explains to the hyenas what he would do as king. This shows readers that he is in it for a whole different reason, rather than King Mufasa who is about doing good and keeping the kingdom safe. When Scar takes over the kingdom, it becomes a dark place with little resources left. This represents all the pain and suffering he has caused to the kingdom. Rather than when Mufasa was king and it was always bright and sunny, which represents the happier

  • Importance Of Courage

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book showed many different forms of courage, in my opinion the most popular one being social/moral courage. Facing the Lion was mostly about a boy named Joseph who grew up in Kenya, in his village there was a rule saying that at least one child per family had to go to school. After Joseph’s older brother ran away from school Joseph lied about his age so he could take his place and Joseph ended up loving school and did very well. I choose this quote because I think that it is a very good example of social/moral courage. One of the reasons that Joseph standing up to Addison was so courageous was because leading up to the moment of the fight Addison had been picking on Joseph for months and Joseph had become afraid of him so it took a lot of courage for him to make the first move and pin Addison. I think that the reason that Joseph finally stood up to Addison was because he was so fed up with Addison making fun of him and nobody doing anything about it that he finally just snapped. I also think that if the circumstances had been any different and it was the first time Addison had challenged him to a fight and made fun of him then Joseph wouldn’t have done anything. Some other courageous moments in Facing the Lion was when he decided he was going to go to college in the US, when he faced the lion, and when he was the first person in his tribe to stay in school and go to
