Disney's first semi-original animated feature film is The Lion King, which is a milestone in animated films. As the 32nd Disney animated feature film, The Lion King takes place in a lion kingdom in Africa. It tells the story of a little lion named Simba, who should have succeeded his father Mufasa to the throne, but was killed by his uncle Scar, so Simba was mistaken for the murderer and began to escape.
Many people say, "Twenty-five years ago, my parents watched The Lion King with me. Twenty-five years later, I watched The Lion King with my children. " The reason why The Lion King can be respected by parents all over the world is inseparable from its educational significance. This is not only a successful animation, but also an educational film of great significance.
In the eyes of most children, death is full of mystery and fairy tales, and they often ignore the truth of death, that is, death is to say goodbye to loved ones. The Lion King contains life education for children. Life education is not to make children not afraid of death, but to make them live better.
Mufasa taught Simba how to respect life. Simba likes to get into trouble everywhere, and every time he gets into trouble, he relies on his father to get through it safely. In the end, Mufasa was killed by his brother to save little Simba. Without his father's death, Simba could not have grown up quickly and finally succeeded in ascending to the throne.
"Life education" is an essential lesson for children's growth. Next, we will take The Lion King as an example to analyze the significance of "life education" to children's growth from three angles:
1. The growth of children is a process of constantly understanding the meaning of life: growth means understanding the cycle of life and discovering that life is endless love and hope.
2. How to face the trough of life: Only after experiencing the separation of life can you have the ability and courage to withstand impermanence.
3. Face life: cherish the love and friendship you meet in life.
The growth of children is a process of constantly understanding the meaning of life: growth means understanding the cycle of life and discovering that life is endless love and hope.
Mufasa said to his son, "You see, wherever the sun goes, it belongs to our country. As a king, the ruling kingdom should rise and fall like the sun. Simba, one day, I will set with the sun, and then you will rise with the sun and become the new king. "
Mufasa symbolizes the image of an excellent father: smart and powerful. He was always patient with Simba, and taught him that as a king, he should know to give and have empathy, instead of robbing blindly.
The first lesson he gave Simba was about "the cycle of life".
Mufasa: "As a king, you should not only know, but also learn to respect life, including ants and antelopes."
Simba: But don't children eat antelopes?
Mufasa: Yes, we live by preying on antelopes, and when we die, we will turn into soil and nourish the grass on the ground. Antelopes happen to be herbivores. This is the "cycle of life".
The whole movie The Lion King runs through the philosophical exploration of life. From dad's first class to "Hakuna Matata" doctrine, Simba has been exploring the meaning of life on the road of growing up.
The new version of The Lion King shows a subtle scene about life: a handful of golden hair that Simba accidentally dropped was eaten by a giraffe. And the picture switches to the dung beetle pushing a giraffe's dung ball, which happens to have golden hair. The smashed dung ball floated a few meters away with the wind and was picked up by ants. Finally, the golden retriever returned to the baboon elders.
The growth of children is a process of constantly understanding the meaning of life: growth means understanding the cycle of life and discovering that life is endless love and hope.
In the face of more and more children who don't respect life, parents should seriously reflect and give their children an education lesson on the cycle of life. This is also a compulsory course for adults and children to explore all their lives.
How to face the trough of life: Only after experiencing the separation of life can you have the ability and courage to withstand impermanence.
Digesting the death of his father Mufasa is the second lesson that life taught Simba the lion. Young Simba was wrongly accused of killing his father and forced to flee. He doesn't know the intrigue and deception behind his father's death.
Fortunately, Timon and Pumbaa. Kindly adopted Simba, who was unconscious, and helped him take away his past troubles. But although Simba grew up happily with them, the knot of his father's death has never been solved. "Remember who you really are." This is the voice of Simba's father looking up at the night sky. No one can live without relatives, but life is doomed to leave.
Simba's story tells all growing children that no matter how many setbacks they face, no matter where they are born, they should bravely accept challenges and difficulties as a king. What the Lion King wants to teach children in a warm way is that even if the people you love leave one day, you should live with their precious memories. Parents have shared the truth of educating their children, which will eventually affect their vision and way of looking at the world silently. Only after experiencing the separation of life can we have the ability and courage to bear the impermanence of life.
Face life: cherish the love and friendship you meet in life.
Facing life's love and friendship in The Lion King is also the reason why the film classics are immortal.
Since childhood, Nana's judgment is better than Simba's. When he broke into the elephant graveyard, Nana stopped the failure and took the risk with him. Nana with wisdom and courage is not only Simba's best friend, but also Simba's lover. When Simba chose to escape from reality, Nana encouraged and helped him realize his ideal.
Pumbaa risked his life as bait to help Simba distract the patrolling hyenas. The cross-species friendship between Simba, Timon and Pumbaa is also a highlight of the film. There is a saying: the time of a song makes lions, warthogs and mongooses become best friends. In real life, everyone has his best friend. Face life: cherish all the love and friendship you meet in life.
Enlightenment and Thinking of Life Education in The Lion King
The Lion King is a proposition related to life education. In the story of Simba the lion's growth, it shows the affection, love and friendship in life. At the same time, it also brings us a lot of enlightenment and thinking about children's education.
1, cultivate children's awareness of rules
Simba said: I thought I could do whatever I wanted when I was king. His father Mufasa told him: You are wrong. The king can't do whatever he wants. Kings also need to obey the laws of nature.
And rules come from people's hearts and take rules as the criterion of all actions, and no one can stay out of it. Obeying the rules requires generations of education. If parents don't set the rules before their children are 6 years old, they can't discipline their children and let them have self-control afterwards.
2. Cultivate children's sense of responsibility from an early age.
The surviving Simba lost his father and home and had to flee alone. Thanks to the help of shelters and other good animals, Xin Kui survived.
Simba's childhood friend Nana found him and wanted him to revive his homeland. After several hesitations, Simba remembered his father's words, and his inner sense of responsibility and courage was awakened again, and he was finally able to return to his home. All this is inseparable from Mufasa's cultivation of his sense of responsibility and courage from an early age.
Everyone's growth is bound to be inseparable from setbacks and suffering, and only in this way can we find our own responsibilities. Maybe parents should give their children enough room to grow up, let them learn to explore by themselves, and don't be afraid of injuries and setbacks, because every fall and mistake is an opportunity for their children to grow up and develop a sense of responsibility. Only by bravely accepting challenges in setbacks can children become the king of life like Simba.
3. Cultivate children to have great love.
The most important education in children's growth is to cultivate children's great love, and then cultivate children to form a correct three views and always maintain awe and gratitude for life.
The Lion King is about "love and responsibility". Both Mufasa's father's love and Nana's love for Simba tell us that everyone's growth path must have love and responsibility from others. With great love, children can realize that life exists in balance and reincarnation. If you hurt others, you will only suffer in the end. Only with great love can we coexist with others and the world in an equal and friendly way.
