4/2
The film tells about two sisters. One of them, Elsa, was born with a curse. She had the magic power to turn everything into ice. One day, the sisters were playing and Elsa hit Anna with her power. The sorcerers of the Tribe of Trolls have saved Anna, but warned Elsa that if such a thing should happen again, when the ice gets into the heart, her sister would die. Therefore, it was decided to erase all memories of the magical abilities of older sister and isolate Elsa from people, to let her learn how to control her magical powers. For many years Elsa was alone in her room. She did not go out to talk with her sister and did not let her come in. When her parents died in a storm, she had become a queen and had to show herself in public. It happened that everyone discovered her power and decided that she was evil and had to be killed. The girl had run away and her sister went after her, to bring her home and return the summer to the residents of the Kingdom.
At first glance, it may seem that this is a story for children. But I think this is a movie for audiences of all ages. After all, the film tells about things that are important to us at all times. This film tells about the problems of the family, the search of true love, the ability to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of loved ones, about the ability to understand and forgive those who are near and dear to us. Moreover, I think that this cartoon will be useful for children, because it will help to educate them about good qualities in themselves.
There are a lot of good life lessons, and I would like to draw attention to them. First of all, the film teaches us to share our grief with loved ones, because that is what can help us overcome our pains. If Elsa had told Anna about her magic, perhaps they would have found a way to control it much earlier.
Secondly, this story teaches us not to trust the first impression, which is known to often be wrong. Anna believed and accepted a proposal of marriage from Hans on the first night they met. She naively believed that it was real love, but Hans just wanted to have a right to the throne by marrying a princess.
The third important lesson is that it is better not to argue and behave rudely with people because you never know how you may need to depend on them in another moment. I'm talking about the instance when Kristoff was trying to get from the merchant an ice ax, a coil of rope and carrot for Sven. He knew that if he did not pay the quoted price for the goods, he would receive nothing but an arguement with a merchant. As a result, he was punished and would have stayed without equipment, if Anna had not bought it all for him (Zuckerman 1).
Finally, the film teaches us dedication. Even freezing, while losing the last of her breath, Anna provided protection to her sister, and sacrificed herself for the life of Elsa. As a result, it saved the lives of them both. It was an act of true love that could break the spell and return Anna to life by removing the ice from her heart.
This is an amazing and very cute film, which is full of many other important lessons. Look at it with the whole family at your leisure. In my opinion, it would be useful for everyone.
The Lion King
“The Lion King” is a masterpiece Walt Disney cartoon. It is an old and beloved film. I think that almost all the children have watched it when they were young and remember it as one of the most touching cartoons. For those people who reviewed it as an adult, they understand the value, that it is full of important life lessons.
This film tells the story of a little lion cub, who was very close with his father, king of the pride. Simba had to become a king after him. But he had an evil uncle, Scar, who was too jealous of this and did all he could to prevent this. Once Scar had arranged everything so that King Mufasa died under the hooves of a running herd, he somehow convinces Simba that he was the only one to blame for the death of his father. Scar told him to run away in shame. At the same time, Scar orders the hyenas to kill the lion cub. It so happened that Simba got away alive. He ran away from home and found two friends - Timon and Pumbaa, who taught him not to pay attention to the cares or worries, and just enjoy the life. Simba stayed with them and learned how to live. He grew up with them. One day everything changed, when his friend Nala from childhood appeared, hunting Pumbaa. Nala told him that everyone at home thinks that Simba died, the kingdom is ruled by a brutal Scar and their territory is almost out of all the food; they are starving. She asked Simba to return as he is the true king. Overcoming mental anguish, Simba returns, engages in battle with Scar and wins, reclaiming his kingdom. At the end of the film at Nala and Simba had a kid, a little lion cub. The kingdom and its inhabitants thrive and live happily.
The film has a sufficient number of turning points, from which we can extract something for ourselves. For me, it was a shock that Simba's uncle craved the death of his brother. He wanted power so much that he was willing to murder a member of the family, although he was never hurt by Mufasa. He hated Simba since childhood and he suffered from it. It showed me that even people close to you can possibly be a two-faced traitor.
The film has taught me not to pay attention to the failures and live by the moment. Many people dwell on their grief and miss the real life. Timon and Pumbaa showed Simba that life is good, even if something really bad happened to you, even if you have been wronged. It is worth it to forget all the bad and focus on the positive. Yet, it shows how the company you keep affects you and your outlook. It is important to find true friends who will help you to understand yourself.
I realized how important it is to employ your own duties. Simba was a true king, and while he was not in charge, the kingdom turned into the poor land, a desert. The kingdom needed a true ruler of the righteous and when Simba came back, everything changed for the better.
I believe that after all, the main idea of the movie was to show the audience that the family comes first of all, that the family is the most precious thing you have. If Scar was not so cruel, he would still be alive, as Simba forgave him and allowed him to leave.
I saw how important it is to forgive. After all, resentment can destroy friendships, families and ruin lives. Do not hold a grudge. You need to give vent to emotions and end the strife, even if it seems too difficult.
Conclusion
I have found some similarities between the two movies. Both stories tell us about a king or a queen, royalty in charge. The main characters had their true loves, and at the beginning they did not know about it. They were both betrayed and deceived by somebody, as Anna by Hans, who wanted to rule the kingdom, and Simba by the Scar, who wanted the same. Simba and Elsa escaped from their grief and shame, forgetting their kingdoms. But, realizing their importance, they both returned and brought prosperity to their lands.
Both films were highlighting the meaning of family. These films showed that it is important to have family. You will always find understanding, you will always find protection. Your family will share everything with you, sadness and happiness, negative things and positive things and they will not ask anything for it. They will love you just for being you. Both films are interesting for people of all ages, and are perfect for family to watch.
