The Lion King English Review

Having just finished watching "The Lion King" English movie, I am deeply inspired by its visual beauty and rich emotional storyline. The film's portrayal of a king's coming to terms with his own identity and role in life, whilst balancing his responsibility towards family and friends, is a universal theme that resonates with everyone.

The movie starts with the birth of Simba, the future king of the Pride Lands. From his early days as a young cub, the film follows his journey to become a king, which is not without its challenges. When he grows up and begins to question who he really is, we are presented with the more significant aspects of adulthood; trusting others, acceptance, loyalty, courage and eventually leadership. Simba's own mistakes in doubt and blame game affect him, ultimately leading him to his decision to evade responsibility. His loss of sense and reliance on "good fortune" over leadership sees the setting on a time when there's power imbalance among Pride Land’s animals.

The film's visuals are breathtaking. The lush landscapes of the Pride Lands are beautifully captured, giving the viewer a sense of the vastness and beauty of the African wilderness. The use of color and lighting creates a vibrant world that brings life to the characters and storyline.

One of the standout moments for me is the story of Mufasa and Simba's relationship. Mufasa represents a father figure who constantly teaches his son about being a king and about life in general. His words "look into your heart" are profoundly meaningful and resonate with every viewer. This message is further emphasized by the film's theme song "Circle of Life," which beautifully captures the essence of life and its cycles.

The film's music is another highlight. The songs are beautifully crafted and capture the emotions of the characters and storyline perfectly. The music complements the visuals and enhances the overall viewing experience.

The character development in "The Lion King" is also exceptional. Each character has their own unique personality and role in the story, which contributes to the overall narrative. Simba's character development from a young cub to a king is particularly well done, showcasing his growth and transformation throughout the film. The other characters like Mufasa, Zazu, and the animals living in the Pride Lands each add a richer narrative and add layers of complexity to this engaging tale.

The film's message about family, loyalty, and responsibility is also very important. It teaches us that we should always stand by our family and friends, even when things get tough. It also encourages us to accept our past and take responsibility for our actions because no matter what we do or who we are, we always have to take responsibility for our choices and actions.

In conclusion, "The Lion King" is a masterpiece that captivates its audience with its visual beauty, emotional storyline, and memorable music. The film's message about family, loyalty, and responsibility is timeless and resonates with everyone. I highly recommend this movie to everyone as it is a must-see for all ages. Watching this movie not only provides an entertaining experience but also gives us valuable life lessons that we can apply to our daily lives.
