A song of opposites

You know, I watched this yesterday and I realised that the movie doesn’t actually advocate this philosophy.

Recall when he meets Nala in the forest and he says ‘Hakuna matata it’s something I learned out here’ and she’s all what? and then he says ‘bad things happen, and you can’t do anything to change them, so why bother(or worry, I don’t remember the exact phrasing) and then Nala tells him it’s because it’s his responsibility.

And then he later realises he was wrong and is all ‘this is my kingdom’. He realises that there are things to worry about, with duty being the main one among other things such as relationships etc. He realises you don’t ‘turn your back on the world’ after shit gets fucked up as Timon teaches him in this sequence. You face it head on and deal with it. Fight for it even.

Plus Timon says he’s going to teach him a new lesson different to that which he was taught, now as much as Timon is my favourite character, Mufasa is too badass for anything he taught Simba to be wrong and be requiring of re-education.

But whatever, I still love it.
