Simba and Nana in "The Lion King" is Disney's first classic animation, it is a feature-length drama cartoon, and it is also Disney's first original story animated film, released in the United States on the year, month and day, and the working version is released on the year, month and day. Disney claimed that the plot of the story was inspired by Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet, but the characters were replaced with animals. The story of Simba the Lion is actually the story of the prince's revenge.
The prince in "Hamlet" is a hesitant, cowardly, suspicious, and undetermined person, but Simba, the lion who is also a prince, is brave and tenacious, although there are times of cowardice and hesitation, but these temporary weaknesses increase the realism of the character.
In general, Simba was portrayed as a model of a drama hero, and after going through various tests in life, such as life, death, love, and responsibility, he finally ascended to the throne of the king of the forest, all thanks to his strength and bravery.
The film "The Lion King" as a film that mainly portrays male heroes, female characters are understated, and the only female character with some weight is Simba's childhood friend Nana.
She is a childhood friend of Simba and has lived a carefree life with Simba since she was a child. When Simba fled the hometown, Nana once thought that Simba had died, and by chance Nana met Simba, she saw the hope of the lion kingdom from Simba, and she persuaded Simba many times to go back to save the group, and finally Simba completed the mission of salvation, and finally became the supreme ruler of the sub-kingdom, and lived a happy life with Nana.
The film hardly describes the women represented by Nana, only allowing her to play with Simba when she was a child, which not only explains Simba's life since childhood, sets off the earth-shaking changes in his father's life after Mufasa's death, but also paves the way for subsequent plots. laborious
Ba has always had a complex of returning to the Lion Kingdom after running away from home, at which time Nana reunites with him and tells him that the Lion Kingdom is in danger, providing Simba with an opportunity to return to his homeland and officially embark on the road of heroism. Nana does not have a distinct personality in the film and basically appears only as a character who needs to drive the plot.
The image of the Indian princess Pocarcante portrayed in the "Stranger in the Wind" and the Indian princess Pocahonte portrayed in the Johnmeth cartoon can be said to be an oriental beauty in American aesthetic standards, she has long black hair, large and bright black eyes, lips like rose petals, and a muscular body.
The film not only processes the image of the heroine, but also reprocesses the plot of the story according to Disney's classic narrative mode. The invaded Indians and the invading British colonists formed two opposites, of course, the difference between good and bad is not so pure, one of the good people is hot-tempered, and one of the bad people has compassion.
A pair of lovers appear in two opposing camps, who use love against the diehards in their camp, and finally uncannily resolve the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides.
Judging from the name of the film, Indian princess Jia Conti is the protagonist of the film, but from the perspective of the entire storyline, the British colonist Zhuang Mais, who later became Po Jia Conti's lover, is also the most important character in the film, even if the importance cannot exceed the main Jia Kanti, at least it is equal to the empty Jia Conti. In the minute-by-minute cartoon, Johnmax appears at the time of the second, while Pocaconti does not officially appear until the minute.
The appearances of both Johnmax and Pocaconti are presented from the perspective of being looked up to. As soon as Zhuang Maisi appeared, his tall and handsome back made the audience feel good, and then the dialogue of the three supporting characters clearly presented the heroic image of Zhuang Maisi. Of the three supporting characters, one is Thomas who belongs to the same British colonial team, and the other two people in the film do not tell us what the name is.
When one of the slightly less experienced supporting characters saw Zhuang Mais and asked his partner if he was a legendary brave and powerful hero, his partner and Thomas successively said that Ducico in the wind, 'Zhuang Mais is a "sea dartman", he is widely known in many legends, and he must be indispensable wherever there is a battle to fight.
From the words of these three supporting characters, we learn that Zhuang Maisi is a brave and powerful captain with many legendary stories and is deeply admired.
The plot of Johnmeis's subsequent rescue of Toms, who fell into the water in a storm, further proves his bravery. The plot of Zhuang Maisi bravely saving Thomas is also the first time that the plot of the film has tension and conflict. A sudden storm broke the mast of the large ship and knocked Toms into the sea, and the situation became critical in an instant.
At this time, Zhuang Maisi stepped forward, on the one hand, he called on the other crew members to calm down, "grab the steering wheel, everyone don't panic", on the other hand, when everyone did not dare to go into the water to save people, thinking that Thomas was also dead, he bravely jumped into the sea to save Thomas who fell into the water, and finally Thomas was successfully rescued, and the first tension was resolved by the heroic Zhuang Mais. After rescuing Thomas, everyone said to Zhuangmeis: "Thanks to you!", Zhuangmeis replied: "There, everyone worked together".
This detail adds more qualities to the already tall and perfect Zhuang Mais, who is not only brave but also humble, and not proud of his achievements.
In the film, Dusty Jia Conti appears in front of the audience for the first time, and the image is amazing. She stood on a high rock against the wind, her long black hair flowing lightly, her outstretched arms and mesmerized expression showed that she enjoyed a comfortable life. The picture is a close-up of Gamenti and accompanied by soft music, her beautiful gesture is poetically displayed, and the audience's heart melts.
In particular, the film has a very different perspective on the image of Zhuang Maisi and Bug Jiakang, and the men represented by Zhuang Maisi are loved by the audience for their personality traits such as bravery, modesty, and calmness, and the presentation of male appearance is only a back;
Women represented by Pocaconti win the hearts of the audience and need more beautiful women's appearance, which can also help us understand why the male appearance in the film is only less than a second of back, while the female appearance needs to be presented from the side to the front to the back of the panoramic presentation, and the presentation time is full of seconds.
The film's presentation of both sexes coincides with the academic research conclusions on TV advertising and sexuality in the context of consumer society, that is, "the femininity of being viewed and the masculinity of being consumed".
If the difference between the appearance images of Pegarti and Zhuang Maisi is only the unconscious presentation technique used by the film director to show the sexes of men and women, then in the subsequent direct contact between two people from different nationalities and serious conflicts between different races, although the film also shows the heroic image of Pogacanti with considerable details, it is less pure compared with the male hero Simba in "The Lion King", and Zhuang Mais has also become an unnamed hero in this film with the heroine as the protagonist.
Regarding the image of Zhuang Maisi, the film portrays him as a heroic, fearless, modest, and upright man, who can risk death to save his friends and friends, is friendly and understanding to the natives, fearless and fearless about authority, and all Lu Peng in the film:
"The Womanhood of Being Seen and the Masculinity of Being Consumed", he is almost a perfect example of the men of the year of the "China Journalism and Communication Review", with a dashing appearance, an upright personality, and male strength and beauty are displayed in him alone. Seeing Zhuang Mais as another unnamed hero in the film can also be found in the film.
In addition to rescuing Thomas who fell into the water at the beginning of the film, Zhuang Mais let Toms escape quickly after Thomas accidentally killed the indigenous Gao Gang, and he was willing to be detained by the natives; When Kongkaonti's father was shot and killed by the cunning Governor Rayleaf, Zhammeis did not hesitate to pounce on Pogacanti's father, and he was seriously injured.
This kind of act of treating friends with courage and stability for the overall situation is a great heroic act, although love made Bocaconte heroically dedicated, but this heroic spirit of Zhuang Mais far transcends the limitations of love between men and women, it includes love, friendship, and love that treats human beings in the world equally.
In addition, it will be mentioned later that Pegachonti's final bravery and ultimate achievement depend on the guidance of the compass and the support of love, so from this point of view, Zhuang Mais is the hero behind the heroine Pocaconti, a hero who exists silently. The explicit hero "she" and the hidden hero "he" are presented in the same film incredible, but reasonable.
