Lion King

Lion King

I can't remember, when I watched the movie. But the movie touched my heart even when I was child. The movie uses lions instead of people. Simba is the main character who watches his uncle as he murders his father. Simba's uncle threatens him, so he is forced to run away. As Simba grew, he realized what had really happened to his father. The sudden urge for revenge on the uncle overpowered him. With the help of his father's spirit, Simba eventually returns home to claim his rightful position as king. Simba faces a common archetypal situation, death and rebirth. Although Simba never physically dies, in spirit he does die. The spiritual death of Simba is when he runs away from the Pridelands into the desert. Everyone in the Pridelands thinks that he has physically died. In fact, he nearly does die in the desert. Luckily, Timon and Pumbaa find him and keep him alive. The spiritual resurrection of Simba occurs when he returns to his home at Pride Rock. Everyone discovers that Simba is alive. It seems as if he has risen from the dead to them because for such a long time they believed that he was dead. At Pride Rock, Simba returns to his previous life and faces all of his problems.
