CALL TO ADVENTURE:

    This film is filled with multiple hidden messages and acts which reflect the life and journey of Jesus Christ. It is quite interesting to watch and think deeply about the religious connotations of the film, which may be difficult for one to identify if they do not pay close enough attention. The film depicts Simba as a Christ figure, as it applies various Christ images to him. The lion King expresses Simba as a scapegoat, depicts him having followers and suffering, it shows Simba connecting to his father through prayer, experiencing conflict with authority and as an adventure hero. Through The Lion King Simba is presented as a heroic Christ figure that embodies many human attributes as he learns, and grows throughout his life. Simba’s role as Christ is used to justify the films use of violence under the conditions of overthrowing Scar and restoring Pride…

    Walter Cronkite, Anderson Cooper, and George Plimpton; three reporters who not only reported a story, but decided to live their story. In mid February 1968, Walter Cronkite embedded himself in Vietnam during the Vietnam War to cover the Tet Offensive. In 2012, Anderson Cooper embedded himself in Syria during the, still ongoing, Syrian Civil War to cover the atrocities of President Assad’s regime against his own people. In 1963, George Plimpton embedded himself with the National Football League’s Detroit Lions to cover the life of a professional quarterback. Plimpton’s adventure may be less dangerous, but he’s still a journalist with an interesting story to tell. All journalists will run into strange and interesting stories in their career, however, journalists must be ready for any possibility. Like Dan Rather once said "When the going gets weird, anchor men punt." In Plimpton’s case, this was almost a literal possibility. Throughout “Paper Lion”, Plimpton makes it clear that despite personal risks and lengthy processes, he is dedicated to getting the real story, or in this case, the true athlete’s experience. Paper Lion is based off Plimpton’s experiences with the Detroit Lions as a third string quarterback during training camp. Even in the opening, George is confused for an Episcopalian minister when he arrives at the training camp. George doesn’t quite fit the image of an NFL quarterback. This is based solely on George’s muscular build, not his…

    In A Beautiful Mind, director Ron Howard uses symbolism to show the danger of using isolation as a method of coping with problems. This film sheds some light on the horrors of a mental illness and advocates the importance of accepting others’ help. When John Nash is suffering from schizophrenia, the contrast between darkness and bright lighting is a metaphor for the darkness he surrounds himself with despite his wife’s attempts to help. The venetian blinds obscuring his face when he stands at his window symbolize the confinement of isolation.…
