Mufasa

Happy Thursday !!! It’s 2025 Yay!!! 

I hope you all have an amazing and wonderful fabulous 2025! 

Today I have decided to write about the new movie that just came out Mufasa Starring Blue Ivy Carter Aaron Pierre, Beyoncé Donald Glover, Anika Nonki Rose and a whole amazing cast of people.

 The plot of the movie is how Mufasa grew up and what his life was like when he was a cub and how he and Scar met and became brothers.

 The movie opens with Simba and Nala, Simba has a daughter named Kiara and his wife Nala is expecting another cub and Simba takes her to an oasis to give birth.

The Simba leaves Timon and Pumba in charge of Kiara while he’s away , Rafaki gives them a visit and decides to tell Kiara the story of her grandfather and his treacherous younger brother Scar with Timon and Pumba giving color commentary in between the story.

 Mufasa is born into a small pride consisting of his mom and dad Masego and Afia who believe in a mythical land called Milele, a flood strikes their land.

Mufasa has a fear of the water that keeps him from going to his mother on the other side where she is, unfortunately he is swept always by the water and he meets a royal cub named taka who saves him from young crocodiles before Takas mother Queen Eshe Intervenes, she reluctantly accepts Mufasa as her son.

 Takas father King Osabi criticizes Taka for taking in and welcoming an outsider, Mufasa claims he can be of Service to the pride and races with Taka to prove his speed.

Mufasa hangs back some from exhaustion, Taka concedes defeat so Mufasa can be welcomed into the pride, as Mufasa and Taka grow up they form a strong brotherly bond together, you will see how they bond together and the different things they do together as brothers.

They later meet a stray lioness named Sarabi and she has a hornbill named zazu and Taka takes an interest in her, we also see a younger Rafiki, he tells them he is going to find a brother that he saw in his visions in Milele and the group follows him there.

The outsiders are continuing to pursue them, Sarabi uses bees to distract the outsiders and cause an elephant stampede allowing the group to escape.

She unfortunately falls and gets injured forcing Mufasa to save her, she asks if he saved her he lies and tells her instead while she is recovering Taka saved her, the group hides in a snowy mountain range to recuperate.

Sarabi tells Mufasa she knows he saved her soon after that they slowly start falling in love and Taka gets jealous, he meets kiros and his pride offering a proposition to get revenge on Mufasa for his sons death, the next day the group reaches Milele a lush oasis secretly leaving marks for the outsiders to follow. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next and what the ending is, the people who wrote the story for this movie did a magnificent job.

When I saw the movie I kept seeing the lion king movie in my head with a few of the scenes especially the scenes involving Mufasa and Taka, when you see the movie you will find out how Scar got his name, and how Mufasa becomes king the colors and the scenery in the movie was outstanding. 

And Rafiki has a lot of wise sayings in the movie, from a personal point I really love this movie because it makes deeply think about different things and makes you search really deep within yourself, one of my favorite lines from the lion king is to remember who you are, sometimes when you have so much going on in life and you get hit with different situations and a lot of things happening.

 I think occasionally sometimes you can forget who you are, and then you have to sit down and take some to think deeply within yourself and remember the kind of person that you are even in the midst of everything going on, and even if it’s crazy busy remember who you are and know that you are being taken care of! One of my favorite scenes from the movie is when Mufasa says to Zazu I got you I got you!! 

He was letting him  know that he’s right there with him and that he’s not going to let anything happen to him he’s got his back, and that reminded me of my big sister and how loving and kind and caring she is whenever I have had a bad day or going through a tough time.

I know she got me she because she loves and cares for me very much and won’t let anything happen to me . I know that my First Lady and Pastor Got me too! And they will always look out for me, and help me in whatever situation I may need help with.

I can know and trust that she’s got me whenever I need her know that Gods got me too, he knows how and when exactly to cheer me up, like when God knows that I am going through a rough time or not my happy bubbly self he will send one of his angels to me to cheer me up , like this morning for example he knew that I needed some cheering I was in the car with my dad and  I hear my  text notification go off on my phones, and once I heard the notification sound my spirit immediately lifted up and I said Thank you God ! Thank you!!!

 He sent that notification sound and message at the exact time that I needed it! I want to let you all to be encouraged and know that you are not alone, and that you are loved and cared for and that there are people who will always look out for you and got you ! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch an incredible story.
