      The Lion King--The Growth Path Of The Lion Cub

      I don't like the feeling of a king who is worshipped by ministers. The animals on the grassland should be free and unowned. Animal-shaped designs seem outdated now, but the tropical graphics and music are still great. Bad lions have a British sense of humor, and coyotes are cute and stupid, and they're more hilarious than the surging. The plot is good. For example, in order to let a stronger force defeat Sha, it is designed to let the bulls rush and trample the king to death. There is also a...

      The Lion King--About Simba's Upbringing

      As the little prince Simba of the Lion Kingdom, he thrived under the care of his father, Mufasa, a majestic king, but his uncle Scar has long coveted the status of King Mufasa. If you want to sit on the throne of the king and never have trouble, you must first remove the little prince Simba. Scar used various excuses to let Simba go out and take the opportunity to start. Every time, he was saved in time by the old king Mufasa. Finally, the old lion king, Mufasa, was killed when he saved...

      Significance of Divinity and History of Civilization

      For example, at the beginning of the movie, Simba is baptized, everything is surrendered, and a beam of light passes through the clouds and illuminates Simba's whole body, which means that the choice of heaven, the bloodline of heaven, the light of heaven is on the side of civilization, and the rule of the Lion King is all about "circle", cycle, reincarnation, the growth of all things-death and rebirth, each ethnic group has an ironed and reasonable position, and the killing and hunting of...

      Talk about the artistic achievements of "The Lion King"

      1. Why let the ferocious carnivore lion become king?

      Rewrite the old human habit of hating the strong, and distinguish the difference between the real strong (Mufasa) and the false strong (Scar), the former is equal to people, all things coexist, belonging to Nietzsche's will to power, The latter were condescending, exploitative and oppressive, and misinterpreted Nietzsche's Nazi ideology.

      2. Is it too cruel to let children see the picture of the son witnessing the death of the...

      unforgettable lion king

      Now I finally understand that the little lion is so strong and tenacious. He was covered in sassy body hair, shining so brightly in the wind at his peak. In his pupils, there is a firm belief. In his blood is the burden of responsibility. The scene of the little lion being baptized by the wind at the summit was deeply etched in my heart and I will never forget it for a long time. I seem to see that my responsibilities are also beginning to spread... Every day, I have to be responsible for...

      The end of the easy belief is to be assassinated, and everything is for the sake of being stronger. Fortunately, it has met friends who can be trusted, and it can gain where it loses. Overcome difficulties, let yourself no longer flinch or...

      I watched it on a VCD I rented when I was in elementary school. One of Disney's most popular animations is also a collective memory of the post-80s generation in China. In the animal version of "Prince's Revenge", the wise man's skill in teaching the coyote at the end still makes people see Bruce Lee's figure. The iconic roar, the sharp kick, the quick punch, although it is an animal, the coolness of Rafic is not lost to any human...

      When I was in elementary school, the school distributed movie tickets for us to watch with friends. That was the first time. Later, I borrowed the video tape to watch it twice... Anyway, I watched it several...

    Movie plot

    In order to sit on the throne, Scar must get rid of the little prince, so Scar used various excuses to let Simba go out, and then waited for the opportunity to let the hyena army kill them, but Mufasa came to rescue him in time. Later, under repeated calculations, Mufasa died...

    Piercing lens

    When Simba climbed the Glory Stone at the end of the film, it was raining in the sky. We saw all the animals got wet except Ding Man and Peng Peng.
    When Simba saw Mufasa's body, the tears on his face changed repeatedly between shots.
    When Sha Zu escorted Simba and Nana to the water cave, the frequency of Sha Zu's shadow projected on the ground flapping its wings was obviously lower than the frequency with which it actually flapped its...

    Evaluation action

    Compared with the usual 3D movies, "The Lion King" is more like a pop-up book in 3D, with laughs, great music and dramatic moments, but the 3D version makes people feel that everything comes from the source. Wonderful in 2D. ("Detroit Observer" review)
    The endless grand opening of the film makes the audience unforgettable. It was once one of the powerful cartoon scenes. The 3D version is still full of power, but it always looks a bit...

    Movie quotes

    • Zazu: What's going on?

      Mufasa: A pouncing lesson.

      Zazu: Oh, very good. Pouncing. *Pouncing*? Oh, no, Sire, you can't be serious...

      [Mufasa signs for "turn around"]

      Zazu: This is so humiliating.

    • Scar: So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?

      Young Simba: Everything.

      Scar: He didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northern border?

      Young Simba: Well, no. He said I can't go there.

      Scar: And he's absolutely right! It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest lions go there.

      Young Simba: Well, I'm brave. What's out there?

      Scar: No, I'm sorry, Simba, I just *can't* tell you.

      Young Simba: Why not?

      Scar: Simba, Simba, I'm only looking out for the well-being of my favorite nephew.

      Young Simba: Yeah, right. I'm your only nephew.

      Scar: All the more reason for me to be protective. An elephant graveyard is no place for a young prince.

      Young Simba: An elephant what? Whoa!

      Scar: Oops! Oh, dear, I've said too much! Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later, you being so clever and all. Just promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place!

      Young Simba: No problem!

      Scar: There's a good lad. You run along now and have fun. And remember... its our little secret.

    • Young Simba: Isn't it great?

      Young Nala: We could get in big trouble.

      Young Simba: I know.
