An interesting computer film in all respects and it becomes even more attractive and visual when you understand what cool and complex things the director, perhaps without knowing it, put on the shelves. By revealing the whole mechanism of blood murder, family secrets and the consequences that the younger generations bear.
Rarely do I hear: “Yes, it’s true and I live with such a feeling as if there was a murder, my brother killed my brother, but no one knows about this, and for some reason I feel it and I just can’t find my place in life.” I often hear: “What are you talking about! It cannot be! And the problem is that I cannot find my place in life, strange chronic guilt and the feeling of an outcast in this world continue to accompany a person.
There is such an order in the tribal system that what is excluded by the elders is compensated by the younger generations, by their own destiny, life and opportunities.
What is the mechanism in reality? Scar, take King Mufasa, a typical scumbag aggressor, ready to go to his goal - power, through the murder of Simba's blood brother and nephew. Insidious, greedy, dodgy, two-faced Scar successfully implements his plan. He kills a blood brother and shifts the blame to the son of the murdered man, that is, the child. He instills that he, by his behavior, provoked the death of his father. Due to his age, like all children, not yet possessing sufficient criticality, Simba believes that he is the killer and takes the blame for the death of his father on himself. The manipulation worked. There is an aggressor and a victim is immediately planned.
Then Scar lives without denying himself anything. No remorse. No regrets. Because he is not guilty, Simba lives with her. He establishes his aggressive regime with suppression and the only correct opinion, that is, a dictatorship. The lionesses, stunned by the sudden death of the king, by their obedience and silence, only strengthen his power, without knowing it, support the family secret of blood murder. And all this lasts for years. Until Nala grows up and transcends the prohibitions of obedience and silence. Overcoming fear, she goes for help. Seeking help is the first step of any victim towards a way out of his submissive and sacrificial state, it is a timid request to say “no” to the aggressor and to indicate that “this cannot be done with me”.
Simba, on the other hand, has been living in chronic guilt all these years, which noticeably inhibits his personal maturation, emotional codependency is formed, which keeps him in an eternal childish state. He has no desires, no goals, he, like everyone else, hangs around uselessly, sings, eats maggots. He is clearly out of place. He is a predator, but lives among herbivores and has never tasted raw meat. This is a kind of self-punishment, I do not deserve better and more, because I am bad, I am the killer of my father. Simba excludes his essence of a predator - a murderer, his true self. He carries this wound in himself and unwittingly maintains the secret of blood murder. Like all victims, he is silent about what happened to him. Why the inner loneliness only intensifies, and the suffering is aggravated. Born to reign, he vegetates and drains his life aimlessly, Simba is the perfect victim. Obedient, comfortable, driven.
The transformation begins with the arrival of Nala and Rafika. Having gone beyond the prohibition of silence and obedience, having gone a certain way in search of help, she has matured, she has a goal and a plan of action. Something that Simba never had.
Leaving the victim and finding his place for Simba begins from the moment when the family secret is divulged. When everyone found out that Scar was a killer, energy was unpacked, a passage opened and Simba begins to grow rapidly, realizing his right to the throne. He allows himself to fight and thereby touches his essence of a predator - an aggressor capable of punishing, he comes out of the sacrificial state. Simba no longer bears blame for what he did not do, the need for self-punishment and self-sacrifice disappears. The true killer is known and included in the system and, of course, dies. After victory and a vivid manifestation of himself, after growing up and finding his place, agreeing with himself as he is, Simba has a passage for creating a pair, and then giving birth to children. Now he can live his life and follow his destiny and tasks, he no longer needs to suffer and bear the blame for another.
reference - "The Lion King", a film by American director Jon Favreau, tells the story of a brave lion cub named Simba. Heroes familiar from childhood grow up, fall in love, get to know themselves and the world around them, make mistakes and make choices.
