[Movie] The Lion King {review}

“The Lion King”- is one of the most popular animated films, and I believe that most of us already watched it at least when we were children. With time, I forgot the real story of it, and so last night I watched the remake of “The Lion King” released in 2019, which was the photorealistic CGI recreation of the old one. And today I am going to write about it. I hope you will enjoy it. Let’s start without any delay.

Here, Simba is the lead character who was born to be the future lion king after his father (Mufasa). He is supposed to live a carefree life and later take the responsibility to protect the jungle. His uncle (Scar) played tricks and killed his father (Mufasa) and tricked Simba by blaming of killing the current lion king and told him to run away. Scar ordered to kill Simba, but he survived and run far away from the territory that he was supposed to protect.

Without the current lion king and the future lion king, Scar took the place of the lion and started to rule. He was changing the rules according to what he wanted, and it created an imbalance in the ecosystem, which wasn’t good for the long term. Even if Scar became the king, other lions didn’t accept him as the true king because he was selfish, and nobody liked it. On the other hand, Simba grew up in a different but good environment and forgot his responsibility and why he was born.

Simba acknowledged the situation when he met Nala (childhood friend). When Nala found Simba, she was happy to see him alive and told him to take the place of king again, but Simba refused to be king. Nala was surprised to see Simba refuse to take the place for what he was destined for, but later Simba realized his responsibility and decided to return to his territory. After returning of Simba, Scar tried to kill him but failed to do so. Moreover, his secret of killing King Mufasa was revealed. Scar was defeated by Simba and later killed by the hyenas he had manipulated for years. And finally, Simba took his place as king for what he was destined.

In case of review, I want to rate it 65 out of 100. I didn’t give a high rating for this one because I think the plots here were very simple, but I think this one (old one) is something that related to my childhood, and that’s why it should be judged by the rating only.
