The Loin King & Hamlet

The Lion King a movie released by Walt Disney on June 15, 1994 is a clear revision of the Shakespeare play Hamlet into an animated action-adventure story for kids. In the movie if you pay close attention Scar the in-raged uncle of Simba plots to kill Simbas father Mofasa and take over the kingdom just as it happens in the play Hamlet. The story begins with the birth of Simba, the heir to the "wild" kingdom. As Simba gets older his father and his loyal subjects help teach him the rules and "rotations" of the "wild" kingdom. Every body knows the "rotations" as the circle of life. One day Scar leads Simba into trouble so that he can sit-up his murder attempt on Mofasa's life. Succseding in killing Mofasa, Scar convinces Simba that he is the one who killed Mofasa and persuades him to run from the kingdom and never come back. Simba runs away to a far away "utopia" where he meets Tumon and Pumba two savors that help him survive in the "utopia". One day Nala a female lion from Simbas kingdom comes hunting in the "utopia" where she finds Simba and convinces him to come back and over through Scars dictatorship, save his kingdom, and save his mother who Scar has married. The marriage of the uncle to the kings wife is a major part in Hamlet. Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumba return to the kingdom to raise an army to fight Scar and his evil army. In the end a major battle ensues where Simba defeats Scar and takes back command of his kingdom. In the very ending scene we see a giant celebration scene which is centered around the marriage ceremony of Simba and Nala.

Music compared to the poem/sonnet

Music is the poem or sonnet of the twenty-first century, it helps individuals develop there thoughts and express themselves in a similar way as the famous play-writes of Shakespearean times. Whether it's rap, r & b, country, gospel, choir music, church music, or any time of music. Each type tells a story in its own way whether its the word of god, a persons struggle through life, a story about of past or future love, or the praise of a major figure or event both real or fake; each type has a lesson to be learn that can help individual better themselves and others that they may encounter in their day to day lives. Even if you bring up the fact that many of this categories of music use drastic measures to express themselves that some people might not find appropriate, they still present a lesson that needs to be learned they just don't try to hide the effects of the world on the human spirit from anyone. Taking the language out of music would be like taking the love story out of Romeo and Juliet, it has to be there to help convey the lesson and express it in the way it was meant to be expressed!! Music is the evolution and re-development of the poem and the sonnet through-out the trails and tribulations of history. Music is Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with a fresh beat and new lyrics, its Poe with a different view point and fresher, newer lyrics. Its  basically lives experiences dressed up with sound and beats to appeal to the younger generations of the future.

Nomeo & Juliet v.s. Romeo & Juliet

In the up coming movie Nomeo and Juliet, a cartoon reproduction of William Shakespheres Romeo and Juilet in which to different colored nome people fued and two main characters fall in love, i belive that the directors and writers are attemptin to do three different things. First they are tryin to introduce Shakespheres famousally celebrated play to a younger aduience in an attempt for them to better understand the material when they study it. Secondly they try to help Shakesphere further live on in time by freshining up his material with a new look, a new style, and a new twenty first century language & comedy. Lastly they are attempting to help everday average joes better understand the concept and launguage of the celebrated writers famous play along with the younger audience. This is one of a few reproductions of Romeo & Juilet attempting to effect and effecting the way people understand the play and further develop the way they feel about Shakespheres play. With this new version of the play i believe that people of a younger age will gain intrest  in the play-writes materials and there will be more and more Shakespheren scholars emerging all over the world. And with these new future Shakespheren scholars emerge u can bet that the play-wrties famous plays will all ways be remember now and forever until the end of time, even with him being dead and gone for so long. I believe this movie will be a great reproduction and I cant wait to watch it and look at shakespheres long standing play in a different light!!
