The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa, as king. However, after Simba's uncle Scar murders Mufasa, Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile in shame and despair. Upon maturation living with two wastrels, Simba is given some valuable perspective from his childhood friend, Nala and his shaman, Rafiki before returning to challenge Scar to end his tyranny.
This movie is worth watching and I felt worth to share the moral values that learned from this movie -- When Simba comes to a new jungle, he enjoys the aimless life, forgetting his own true self, his glorious past, and the responsibilities to him. His internal strength and courage are lost in oblivion. He doesn't even want to know the truth and lets the circumstances take his greatness away from him. So the lesson learnt is 'you are the exactly the person who you think you are'.
Despite from that, the Swahili phrase that learnt from this movie is Hakuna Matata means 'there are no worries', is one of the most important life lessons that one must endure during their lifetime and so do I! Past really hurts but it is in our hand to run away from it or learn from it. If you run, the past will keep haunting you. We need to face the situations with courage! Simba runs away from his past but at the end, faces it and correct.
As hard as it may be to believe, The Lion King has been around for a full of two decades. That's right, in June of 1994, the animated Disney movie was released for the first time theaters, making it one of the 20 classic films that turn 20 this year. Pretty unbelievable, right? Despite its nearly ancient history, well you know since we are still small and till now, fans are still debating about this everyday -- the not-so-hidden sexual innuendos.
From this video, I had to say; Yes, animals can be a dirty too. Protest was against one scene where it appears as if the word 'S-E-X' might have been embedded into the dust flying in the sky when Simba flops down, which conservative activist Donald Wildmon asserted was a subliminal messages intended to promote sexual promiscuity. The film's animators have stated that the letters spell 'S-F-X' which is a common abbreviation of 'special effect' -- not with an E instead of the F, and were intended as an innocent "signature" created by the effects animation team. After a few of observation,I could find more subliminal messages in The Lion King and I ended this post with the video of all the subliminal messages in The Lion King.
