Moder Films VS. That of " Star Wars!!!!!!"

What are the similarities in "Star wars' and "The Lion King?".........Are there any???


    Star wars was in the time when America was at war and when people needed the lift of good vs. evil and the great defeat over the evil. The cultural need was for people essentially to be uplifted and to give hope. A main character was Luke skywalker. In the movie Luke had a strong mentor at his side to help guide him and give him the focus that he needed to obtain his goals unfortunatley the mentor had passed. This is almost the same as a film that is from todays culture, The Lion King.


      The lion king provides viewers with unity and shows how evil or the bad guys can be defeated and that a community can come together to acheive happiness. Symba the young lion cub whos job it is to defeat his evil uncle too has a mentor. Rafeeke the baboon takes Symba on a wild journey to find himself and gives him direction however being a mentor and following the pattern he disapears and them Symba has only himself and his small everyday friends to defeat the bad guys. doing so the community of animals comes together and makes the turn around for their society. The message of both movies is that there is hope and to acheive it is not impossible. luke and Symba are 2 totally different life forms but they each have that same desire to defeat the bad guys for their communities.

Symba was lead to sucess by the blue butted baboon "Rafeeke"



Luke was pointed in the directon of acheivement by his mentor "Obi Wan Kanobi"
